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!

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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
