I have a 200sx running an rb25det that I'm currently taking to about 500bhp.

I was going to run a power fc but sold it to go for a map sensor. I then bought an AEM ecu, but now it seems that after a lot of problems between aem and rb25's that some issues are not going to be resolved, at least for the time being and as the car has been off the road for 3 months now (again), I'd just like to move on.

I have heard of cars suffering random unexplained miss fires etc... (anyone who knows more let me know please)

I am now thinking of returning my AEM ecu and have been considering my options....

there is not an rb25 d jetro so the power fc is a no go.

does anyone know if the link ecu's run map sensor?? wide band?

what price is motec or omex?

I am interested in the motec M48, has anyone used this? any links or info would be great.

I need to stay wwith the map sensor really as I plumbed in my new plenum for the map sensor and dont want to start again to stop unmetered air issues with a maf.

by the way, I'm in the uk so i'm not sure if anyone here could map microtech etc.....

thanks

Tom

Hi Tom, you made the right choice in the first place, my suggestion would be Power FC with Boost Control Kit (BKC). Use the map sensor take off that you have made for the BKC map sensor.

A Motec M48 won’t run a 6 cylinder fully sequential, you really need to be looking at an M600, for around twice the cost of a PFC with BKC. The price of the ECU itself is almost irrelevant, it’s the cost of the install, initial set and tuning where the Power FC has it all over the others.

:( cheers :D

The new Link Plus G2 will offer best bang for your buck ecu if you prefer map sensed option.

Also it has twin active knock sensing function. (fully configurable)

Support for wideband, logging, sequential injection/spark, so many inputs and outputs its not funny.

Check it out for sure.

Do I need to get a BKC if I have an SBC-ID already? I dont understand, Are you saying I can run a map sensor with an apexi power fc?

You can run m48 sequential with ign expander.

do not run a motec unless your are going to use ALL the features.

power fc is good, but you still have a afm getting in the way.(makes doing a legal air box abit tricky if your not running stock turbo/suction pipe.) link or vipec plug in would be the go. id say autronic but as far as features go the vipec/link have more.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
