There is more than enough information on this forum for you to make your own mind up.

And the above are just the Autronic ones.

PowerFC threads are a dime a dozen

I am sorry, as a long term user of both Autronic (BMW SuperTourers and Commondoor V8Supercars) and Power FC's (Hondas and Nissans) I hardly think my advice is one sided.

:D cheers :D

i had the pwoer fc on my car, and although it was great for a plug in ecu and was working great, till it got to the point where basically my engine had nothing stock left in it, i switched to an AUTRONIC SM4 although alot pricier than the power fc, i cant say i would ever use another ecu, the autronic is absolutley awesome

Sydneykid, I apologize if the comments I have made on the PFC vs Autronic matter may have seemed as if it was directed to you. It wasn't! Nor am I questioning your vast experience. I have made general statements about this issue because pretty much everyone on this forum believe the only option is a PFC. There are only a hand full of people using Autronic compared to the majority of PFC users on this forum so obviously the advice that is going to be given is going to be very biased.

Just to make it clear, my last post was not directed to you it was a general observation!

Everyone should know that an autronic is a better ECU.

All the power FC is a stock ECU which can be programed that allows a boost controller and allows you to use bigger injectors.

I use a Power FC myself (and have no issues with it and thing they are a great ECU) but if anyone wants to swap for a autronic - PM me =)

Its all about money these days and the Power FC wins when it comes to buying and installing the unit.

i prefer autronic. but.. need a trigger disc for the crank angle sensor.

power fc. your relying on airflow meters. which i hate. and most of the time there 10yrs old.

powerfc is a plug in.

autronic has better contol of injectors (resolution) and the software is heaps easy to use.

power fc is a good unit that is made in korea. (most "jap" ecus are and that includes oem ecu's.)

i just prefer autronic. at the end of the day it all down to the tune

What ECU are made in korea? I thought only KEFICO (Korean EFI Company) was the only oem ecu made in Korea. Most japanese ecu's are made in Japan aren't they? ie I thought Nippon DENSO were contracted by APEXI to make hte PFC just like standard nissan ECU's.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
