Didnt get much back from another post.....need some advice

All the mods i have (and plan to keep it that way) on my car are a Apexi pod with cold air intake and full 3" Blitz exhaust with slpit dump/front pipe. i want to extract the best performance out of what i have as i dont plan to boost it.

Would a Apexi AFC Neo do the job, or should a just go for the Power FC?

Not sure because i only have minor mods, and most people who buy the PFC have boost, fmic etc....

Any feeback and opinions are appreciated.

id go for the PFC with a boost kit just in case you get excited you can up the boost, maybe try and buy one used.

At the moment i have an Avc-r and im happy but i have a PFC waiting to get installed hopefuly next week, ill let you know how it goes.

cheers

Akeenan - dont want to turn up the boost because im pretty happy the way everything is at the moment. My thoughts are basically; the more boost, the more problems. I think a PFC or SAFC would give it the little extra performance, mixture, fuel consumption etc...

Steve - Be sure to let me know how you go with the PFC, what changes/differences you feel

Dop3y - What kind of results did the car get? higher Kw?

We go from the otherside.

What is he going to get from a PowerFC, with his mods... that can justify the extra $500-$600?

There is no boosting, no I/C upgrade, essentially its a stock car save for en exhaust

I agree. Even boosting to the capabilities of the stock turbo you won't NEED a power fc.

But if you think you might want to mod down the track (and you probably will want to! lol), perhaps a turbo upgrade.. might be best off sending the money now on an engine management system... you'll get a little more power and a little more fuel effciency in your current set up.

I really don't think you need either though, you'll get the most out of your stock car if you get that exhaust, high flow cat and really open her up!

i believe he stated on his initial post that he already has a full exhaust...

anyway, with just those basic mods u have, a afc neo will do fine! the cost difference of a powerfc and tuning it doesnt seem worth it.

powerfc $1000 + install & tune $500 = $1500

afc neo $500 + install & tune $100 = $600

$900 difference for say a max of 5-10hp gain? u decide if its worth it..

plus afc neo looks damn sexy with the colour screen! i have one myself :D

I personally doubt weather there will be any gains with his mods and no boost, probably not even a smother power delivery. Timing will be pretty spot on std and the safc will do just as good a job of controlling fuel at those airfow levels, pfc is overkill hands down! the only time the pfc starts to make gains is when the safc starts runing out of resolution(if thats the best word to discribe it, cant be bothered typing a in depth decription) and the std ecu starts taking over playing with the timing and fuel (r&r). my guess is the pfc would start to be worthwile/show gains above the 200rwkw mark

i know when everybody gets there first 'line (ive had mine for 3 months) they say there "happy just the way it is", and then a few weeks later they start modding flat out, but im genuinly happy the way it is, but a 'smoother power delivery' is spot on in what i want to acheive, also with a little gain in power. its a bit laggy, gets about 400km to the tank and i think the piggy back or pfc will help with these issues. true?

I got 170rwkw with the current mods by the way.

oops sorry, I mis-read it!

sounds like you know what you are doing PAV just a bit of food for thought... i pretty much have a stock car... and the power delivery is second to none.. it's just been set up really well. Ignition timing advanced, fmic, boost controller, high flow cat and 3inch cat back... had a split dump pipe bu the quality wasn't the best so I put a stock dump pipe back on and it is really running perfectly.. couldn't ask for better!

Anyhow, you sound like you know what you are doing, good luck with it!

Got any pics of the new Neo tuyen?

The computer generated ones they use for marketing are pretty useless for working out how big the thing is :)

yeh just took some then in comparsion to safc2 :P

sorry for whoring your thread PAV34.

ive driven stock r34 gtt and id say getting a powerfc wont make power delivery any smoother. Trust me they are damn smooth already! (try driving r32 with rb20det haha)

The main difference with powerfc to afc neo is that pfc can adjust ignition timing as well adjusting airflow for fuel while afc neo can only do fuel. While running stock boost, adjusting ignition is not needed. But adjusting airflow would help (a bit more power = a bit more smoother?) as u have an airfilter and full turbo back exhaust which would usually cause it run a tad rich..

400km a tank is decent.. u should look into replacing the o2 sensor of the car if you havnt already. Should be replacing them every 40,000km apparently in the skyline manual.

good luck :)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
