I tried searching :D , and I read the FAQ on the powerfc which was very helpful, but it didn't answer my specific question...

I'm going to get a powerfc for my R32 GTS-4, and just wanted to know if the normal RB20 version (AP Engineering) is the one for me.

The ATTESSA has an independent computer under the parcel shelf in the boot, right? However, would the 4wd system also incorporate the use of the standard ecu for certain functions? I'm asking this because i'm wondering if the rb20 powerfc would take this into consideration if in fact the GTS-4 ecu is involved with making ATTESSA work.

Even though you can modify the rb26 powerfc to use with the rb20, apparently the only things that need to be modified have to do with injectors and not anything to do with ATTESSA in the rb26 version. Even so, i just wanted to know if the normal rb20 version will work fine with my gts4!

Any help would be great!

Thanks.

Isn't the power fc a plug-and-play type unit, where you basically use the old ecu harness to plug straight into the power fc? Therefore the wires that also connect to the attessa ecu would remain the same because no wires would be modified, right?

Then you'd just get your car all tuned up...

hey mate, the engine harness would have the wires intact but the ecu will have no pins for the 4wd wires as the ecu is meant for rwd rb20's.

its simple to hook up anyway once u find the correct wires.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
