Hi ppls,

I pulled the pfc out of the car today to check it out as I did something silly causing me to also replace 1 main 75amp fuse and a 10amp fuse, well... silly doesn't do me justice, I would like to call my self .... a stupid f*cking mental retarded dumb sh*t.

Now that I've got that off my chest back on topic.

I've attached a few pics, what I've found interesting is there's an RB25 stamp in there and a couple of the ecu pins have been rewired. I'll edit the post after I trace what numbers they are and what they do.

With regards to the ecu pinouts.. From memory I believe the r32 and r33 had 2 differences in the pin outs, again from memory I'm sure 2 of the inj. outputs (or was it coil) were required to be swapped.

So essentially this is what they have done.

that looks nothing like an rb25 PFC.

The CPU processor type you have is completely different.

RB25 users will have 7F83 CPU, would be interested in what an RB26 PFC inside looks like, no idea what the riser slot is for ???

Looks like that dude from the US was onto something when he said u had to rewire some pins to use a rb25 pfc on a rb20 :)

if you're refering to carl h, then yeah he used my car as a gunnie pig for that. it works, and i believe its the #5 and 6 injectors that fire opposite between the 2 engines, but don't quote me on that.

definately looks like they just swap the injector wires around. i've got an rb25det power fc running my stroked rb20det. all i did was swap those 2 wires externally, selected z32 afm and set the injector pulse and duty cycle up for gtr injectors and it started and ran like factory.

interesting though that the boards arn't the same, i have a 5.11 rb25 pfc but not really willing to open it if its going to void my warrenty..

kwazza11,

So that is 100% all you did? Simply swap the inj. outputs?

I've attached an excel file that depicts the two pinouts, flick between the two tabs to see the highlighted differences. There are a few, one which is of concern is the rb25 lacks the rb20's throttle valve switch (pin 54) and in place of the rb20's throttle valve power (pin 57) it has the exhaust temp sensor signal.

On the RB25's ecu pin 17 Injection pulse TI monitor, I wonder if this is the R33's Rich and retard mechanism, it see's x inj. duty cycle then does its mental power dips from there on wards. It would be interestering if the rb25 pfc has this internally connected, if not then I would suggest it does exactly what I stated.

I'll throw the GTR pin out in there now.

ecu_pinout_compare.zip

"Rich and Retard" is simply the higher air flow/load cells having no ignition timing in them, and the fuel cells at this load are rich.

That is why it cuts, no timing in those load cells.

If you could remap the ecu to put some extra ignition timing in those load cells, you wouldn't have a rich and retard situation.

The TI monitor is more then likely a signal for a trip computer to calculate show current fuel usage.

Also the lack of the throttle switch input, will not matter as the RB25 PowerFC uses the throttle position sensor, not switch. (So it won't matter that its not there.)

From what you have found Cubes, all you have to do is reverse pins 112 & 114 and cut 57 to be safe. (I doubt this pin is connected in the PowerFC though?)

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
