Rb26 Apexi Pfc On Rb20 - How To Go About It?

Gday, Im looking for an ECU for my taxi and I think my best bet is to go a RB26 Power FC. But Im unsure - and Im all threaded out (Ive read tonnes!). Here are my car specs

RB20DET Standard Internals & Standard AFM

HKS GT2835 48T on Highmount Manifold, HKS 50mm Ext Gate w/ 1bar spring

3" Turbo Back Exhaust

GTR Intercooler

GTR Coil Pack Loom + GTR Splitfire Coils

GTR Intercooler

I have some HKS 264 Cams and HKS cam gears ready to go in and also a set of GTR injectors.

Is my best bet to get the 26 PFC instead of buying the AP engineering model?

As the RB20 and RB26 have different impedence injectors, am I correct in assuming that if I install the 26 ECU I wont need to install the resistor pack? Or are the ECUs the same impedence but its simply the injectors that are different impedence?

Has anyone wired up a 26 PFC to their 20 and got any tips? I will probably try and track down a wiring diagram to try and find the differences - but I know from Paulr33s faq that I need to parallel both secondary afms and o2 sensors.

Thanks for the advice!

JK

Hi jnr32r, Power FC requires the standard impedance injectors, which on an

R32 GTST RB20DET are 12-14 ohms (generally called high impedance). R32 GTR

RB26DETT have low impedance injectors, around 3-5 ohms. If you use low

impedance injectors then the PFC will get too much current drain and

overheat.

fitting the rb25det pfc is much easier, the rb20 lacks some of the sensors that the rb26 has.

source a rb25pfc have the car towed to a shop that can tune it with the software and upload the rb20 basemaps to the rb25pfc and go from there.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
