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.

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
