i dont think anyone would suggest anything except a powerfc looking at your list. If all you had was an exhaust, FMIC and more boost then an SAFC is perfect... add a few more goodies like you have and any piggy back is not going to cut it like a full independant ECU

The new apexi safc has also just been released :unsure:

It's on nenguns site

bah the new acf neo is just a fancier s-afc, not much more.

in the end its still a maf manupulator, which suck, i learned that the hard way...

pfc is only a few bucks more than the afc neo so why short yourself.

I wudnt of thought with an rb25 wit cams the to4e wud of been THAT bad? My mate has a HKS to4e which comes on full boost (18-20psi) by 4,500rpm, on an rb25 that would be lower and again with cams, but maybe the hks/garrett turbos are quiet different or i have the model number mixed up and its just a to4 or somethin.

Define 'laggy' in ur opinion...

As for tuning make it a power fc no question. You can also tune it for abit less lag if you spend some extra time on the lower rpm's.

This may be a stupid question, but I was reading about the Power FC, and noticed that the Power FC can run the car using a MAP sensor instead of the AFM. Does the car have to be tuned using the MAP sensor, or can the Power FC be tuned using the AFM?

thanx guys for your replies, I ordered a power fc and waiting for delivery :blink:

hope you like lag, as the t04e certainly will be. why not go for something more suitable? whats your power goal?

I think that with these cams the t04e would spool earlier, my power goal is 450hp, what do u think? will i reach there with these mods and good tuning hopefully?

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
