Yesterday I did some shopping for my R32 GTST and i was recomended a link plug in ecu because apparently its very hard to find a power fc d-jetro for R32's. and cheaper too. $1500 for the link and $1800 for the PFC.

The link does have the map sensor instead of the AFM same as the PFC.

Please help as I have no idea which to choose. I always thought PFC was the way to go but now I'm just confused. I could have sworn that I have seen D-jetros going for 1400 but can't remember where.

I was also told if I am installing bigger injectors, I need to install these little things(sorry.... can't remember the name of them) in the injector loom because the standard inj's are low imperdance. Is this true?

Thanx

Depending on your power target , you might want to consider a third option. Get your standard ECU chipped and tuned. Then I would consider a "normal" Power FC.

:P cheers :P

Ask Paul from Performance- wise.

He has a group buy going on all the time.

He will be able to get you a better price. :P

Go to the buy it know area and read on..it has some things in there that will interest you.

Another quality post buddy.

damn right a quality post - who with half a brain quotes $1800 for a powerfc ?

My comment still stands - Bullshit.

But wanting a D Jetro does cause a few issues - I'd be going by SK's post, or just getting a standard powerfc with a Q45 AFM if you need the extra flow. I have a q45 and it works a treat with my powerfc. Unless you want a huge ass vent to atmosphere BOV, then the AFM won't do you any favours... But why would you want that?

GTS Link has, launch control, boost control, closed loop, active knock sensing, laptop or hand control tunable and is map sensor based.

Not a bad unit at all.

Agree 100%, i have had a link in my 33 gtst for around 2 years and it's never skipped a beat.. it has tunability for all my mods (and future ones) and more, launch control is a great bonus, and laptop tuning and data logging was a big plus for me when deciding..

Don't know all the ins and outs for the PFC so i won't comment, they've been tried and tested and have seen awesome results on heaps of cars, i've also seen the same from link ECU's and thats what i have so my bias leans towards Link.

As with the prices, both the PFC and Link can be had for cheaper than your original prices, it's just a matter of looking around..

Cheers, ultimately it comes down what ever fits your needs best... good luck

I agree with SK, ECU retune is the go with a R32. But looks like the Link ECU has some good extra functions if you need em, can you tune it with a AFM?

A car with a AFM will give you a more precise tune than one with a map sensor, better throttle response etc.

cheers

Mafia I said the same thing, nearly fell over when he told me 1800 (advan).

I'm still yet to try performance wise. Thanx 700hp.

sorry paulr33 I forgot to mention that part. A P engineering.

The reason why I want the map sensor PFC is from the stupid vacum spring thing that was mentioned a couple of issues ago in HPI. Its pretty bad. I'm not fussed at all with the bov, it was cool when i first got it but I got over it pretty fast so the plum back is back on it. It doesn't stall but it gets close still. Nothing wrong with my AFM either, tested with another one and got a new one for peice of mind and its still the same. New plugs, silicon hoses, coils, etc. no air leaks.

Sydneykid, I was considering doing the chip and tune to my ECU but I really want the most I can get. And its not just that. A few friends of mine had there STD ECU's chipped and tuned and then later purchaced a PFC. It wasn't the power increase that made them happy, it was the way the car drove and responded after the PFC. I don't know if this was true because I never drove the car before and after myself so I really don't know if they are just full of it or not but hey, if I can get more power than I'll take it.

As RB30 said, the link doesn't sound too bad at all but I can't seem to find many people with one and I really don't want to just take the salesmans word for it.

Snoman you are the first person to give me hands on info about these link ecu's. Where did you get yours from cause advan performance seems to be the only place that has these, but then again, I've only been looking for a day or 2. Did you get the plug in, wire in, link, or link plus? I think the one I was shown was the Link plug in so I don't think I get launch and boost control. If you've got the wire in what did you get charged to install it? Does the link affect the speed sensative steering as I've heard the PFC does?

Anyone heard about the little things that should be installed when upgrading 32 GTST inj's? He said something about the std inj's are low imperdance so they are a must apparently.

I didn't know that Munna1. Thanx

man I'm confused now

sorry about the late reply. I'm on night shift this week.

thanx.

I need to get a AFM witch u think is better Z32 or Q45??

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
