I would like to have some feedback on the d jetro version of the pfc.

I am going to be building a very high hp r32 gtr over the next year and I have no intention of using maf sensors.

I recently came across a 1034 rwhp r33 gtr that used a d jetro ecu.

I liked my previous l jetro pfc so i thought i would like to use a pfc again but this time with d jetro and datalogit

Would i be better of with a ecu such as microtech, tec 3 or anything else?

If you have proper size AFM for your terget power. L-jetro is nothing to lose I beleive. If you do not have it, you have to use D-jetro is much better. Max power is almost same both of them if suction of a air is same condition. Any ECU are same. But the measurement of the air suction is most important thing for the power and response of the engine. AFM is on time measure but D is after suction a air.

head a read of the PFC FAQ in my signature, it covers the djetro vs ljetro pfc's. worth a read

Sure have :P

I am a frequent visitor to your site for the last year i would have to say.

I was really hoping for opinions from those who have tuned them or drive with them.

I wont have space for any mafs.

The turbo's life is shorter on a D Jetro ...this is why I did not take this path.

For the figures you are looking at though it is the best option...for value for money that is.

But if you are well cashed up, thats another thing :P

What are you planning to use it for?Track or Drag

To my readings the turbos are not limited by the air flow meters and are spinning at higher revs

to begin with...this is why responce is quicker.thus turbo life is shorter.

Most of the WA guys swear by the better set up using the D Getro vertion of the power-fc.

Correct me if any one actually has heard different. :P

AFM dont' control turbo i believe.

Maybe turbo life shorter because you don't use the AFM anymore, don't use air filter either (like the crazy jap) so sometime flies got suck through! ;).

wrong. :P

AFMs dont limit turbos at all.

Its jsut the WA tuner in question gets better results.

Same as a Vic tuner gets excellent results here using AFM's

Its just the ECU that the tuner is comfy using.

AFM's are not a limitation

I've heard that D-jetro pfc is a very crude ECU. lumopy idle, bad fuel consumption. It is used only in high hp applications as afm cannot read tha high air flow even the Q45 ones....It is not recomended for hp which is manageable bt afm.. anywas out of curiosity does D-jetro veersion comes in witht he MAP sensor or have to buy seperately.

I think D-jetro is the cheapest out of all the pfcs

you buy the djetro pfc and commander for 71000 yen. Then you need to buy the djetro sensor kit and harness which is another 33000 yen.

You've "heard" a lot of bunkas

You've "heard" a lot of bunkas

ahh you are basing this comment on? which part of my response is bull ~~

this is my sourse:

The D-Jetro Power FC units carry the same functions as the regular Power FC units but do not require the use of the factory standard air flow meter and use a mass air pressure sensor. Apart from the unit itself, use of the D-Jetro units requires additional parts that vary depending on the model." - www.greenline.jp The airflow meter (at least in the skyline range) does not pose a big restriction in terms of horsepower and one would doubt the use of the D-Jetro. If you really need massive airflow you can always change to 2 x Q45 Airflow meters and use those with the PowerFC. The skyline series are optimized for closed loop operation with an airflow meter and oxygen sensor for feedback and measuring. Cars the run on a MAP sensor system can suffer drawbacks such as bad idling, poor fuel economy, problems with cold starts etc

from Paul's manual

the costing come from:

http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/brand/1

remeber that you have to add MAP sensor cost to D-jetro

and the "heard term" is literally from a tuner in W.A, you can pm me for his number if you are not satisfied

so...now which bit again?

Sky34, I agree with Gav, what you've been told is not true. I know at least 4 De Jetro tuned GTR's in WA which have no problems with idle or fuel consumption. There is a trick to getting the idle right with multiple throttle bodies. I'm sure the tuner you spoke to just doesn't like De Jetro's which is fair enough, but they are a very good product for high hp cars.

Cheers

hi guys

yeah im sorry the stuff i had in the pfc faq under the djetro area is a bit outdated and the opinion was a bit off with no real evidence. there are a few caveats you need to know about when using djetro pfc, and presumably others

- careful placement of map sensors

- tuning takes a lot more time, much more than afm

- have to buy extra djetro parts and connect it up

To my readings the turbos are not limited by the air flow meters and are spinning at higher revs

Correct me if any one actually has heard different. :no:

In simple terms, they offer better performance then if they respond better!!!!

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
