I am in a bit of a delema! mainly it's location,

I am about to purchase a PFC brand new but a Motec m8 Ecu has turned with all its codes opened> wideband, Boost control etc .

What else would i need to get this installed sensor / Loom wise and runing on my Gtr r32 twincam, To4z?

I bought an M48 brand new and needed a 3 bar map sensor kit, but never ended up fitting it, as it was another $1,500 to install and tune, so I sold it on and bought a power fc. The MOTEC is great just costly to get up and running.

I will put this a bit different ....

The weekend has made Ringing around hard

to get advice :D So tomorrow a big phone assault...

If i have just the Motec m8 Ecu with certain codes added Wide band lambda, Antilag Control Etc !

What extra's as in loom and sensors will be required for the mechanic for the install.

i have just been reading horror stories where the motec tuner couldn’t get the awd going because he didn’t understand certain things so this freaks me out even more?

I am getting fairly frustrated with the local advice i am getting so now

the car will be taken to melb (300km) and am trying to get some background before i go ringing around and asking novice questions to pros

please if anyone can list me the parts and steps i will have to go through it would be a real head start so i can organize the workshop.

I have been looking through the Workshops in the maintenance section on the site .. If any stick out for this type of work Could someone please recommend thanks ish!

the powerfc will come out cheaper and give you 80% of the features you need at around 1/3 of the total cost. is there a reason you want to go motec? for a true rally/race car, sure motec is tops. for a normal street car i dont see as justifiable, given the cost.

paulr33 i undertand the features on each unit .. this is an ongoing intrest for me where the car just may end up on the track... I dont like back tracking and multiple modual's in the cabin really!

I am building a spare rb26 in the shed with forged pistons and collar upgrade ready to go in when this one fails....

everyone keeps telling me what i want upgrade wise when all i want to know i what will I need extra for my motec M8 ECU.

No offense guys , the comments are welcome but no one is answering the question! ;)

fair enough. so why do u want to goto motec? i would like to also, but like many others can't justify the 3k price tag to get a unit, and then it needs to be tuned and setup. its not an out of the box plug and play start the car and drive off unit like the powerfc is

I want the motec for probably exacly the same reason you do paulr33 its the best !. If you read up earlier, the motec Ecu has come up second hand all enabled hence this Thread to weigh up and gain info.

The pfc is more of an option because of the area i live in and the local mechanics knowledge and would save me dragging the project to melbourne .

M8 is getting old now.. unless your getting is real cheap power fc is so much easier and will tune better with the 6 throttle body's unless your only after wide open throttle driving... Id be finding out what the m8 doesnt hav compared to the newer m400 m600 m800 series and is it as easy to tune as the new models...

      Do they always do it from the AFM? If so... You know what I'm already thinking I reckon...

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The other problem is that the pan is on an exchange basis, which would be a pain to have to send original sump to Oz for the work to be done. Would ideally need to be able to pay for a locally sourced core. To that end - I'd just fabricate one outright.

      Not at all, pure street use, touge, even drag strip and you'll be fine   There's a larger version of it too, however would be overkill for your application. If you do plan on using that sump, might as well fit a headdrain/crank case vent to help alleviate crank case pressure. Your mechanic will also notice you cannot re-use the AWD windage trays on the motor too, as it fouls with the AWD -> RWD sump. However given your usage, you'll be fine.

      @GTSBoy yeah but the MAIN problem is that "you" guys may know that but i/my mechanic did not. I literally spend hours to find differences between Stagea and Skyline engine (even here) and found kinda "nothing" Yeah one guy mentioned that the block is larger/wider but nothing about the oil pan. Of course AWD has different one but "everybody" says...yeah just slap RWD pan... and the parts number for my N/A engine and NEO DET were the same so iam using one from my old engine. And of course being in EU/Czech many of the sites did not even show(i need VPN to be here)... @MBS206NO it is not my channel and not my video. Dont even know the guy. I just post this as a reference cuz i have the same problem. As i said you guys in AU/NZD may know this but here it is kinda a new info cuz IF someone doing this swap they already have oil pan or they make custom one.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Yeah it is AWD RB25DET NEO Yeah as you mentioned the pick up is in a different place ...but i do not drift or track the car. It is and will be strictly street and just "casual" weekend cruiser. With that "custom" pan as shown in the video...could there be some problems?  For others. Iam sorry if that topic "looks" like i want to show/boost some YT channel or numbers. Iam quite the opposite.  I would rather drive my car thru sewers than get the attention that this car gets here. I do not have any YT channel nor IG/Twitter or TikTok. I just want some info from time to time cuz here...there is none :-)
