now that the power fc is gone (or going) what ecu's do people on this forum recommend?? mind you its for a rb25det

i have been in one running a microtech and it seems to do the trick, but any other suggestions wold be good.

cheers

UNLESS I SEE A PRESS RELEASE OR SOMETHING WRITTEN ON THERE WEBSITE ABOUT IT...THIS IS BULLSHIT ABOUT POWER FC'S

THE RUMOR HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW AND I STILL SEE PLENTY OF POWER FC'S AROUND.

cheers

wel there is a whole other thread about the pfc's being discontinued but anyay, what ecu you use really depends on your tuner. if your tuner recommends wolf then use wolf. if they use microtech use microtech. this applies even if the pfc isn't being discontinued.

It's the same reason the Wolf V400 was discontinued, no more chips.

there are still dozens of pfc's for sale second hand

you just can't buy any new, well some suppliers may have say 1 or 2 in stock

but no new units are being made, the nec processor used is end of life from NEC so they had no choice, it is unclear if apexi will somehow use another processor type, they did for the fd3 rx7 which has the 78f4 cpu instead of the older (out of date) 78p3 cpu. so unsure at this stage.

its not like all powerfcs just magically blew up yesterday, its just its not for sale brand new for the three gtst models

I have been trying to get my hands on a PFC for the last week. No one has them anymore (RB25DET)

I'd say that's pretty good proof :P

I got an email from a supplier in Japan saying that whateva stock is out there is whats left - the "new" version I was advised will be available mid next year.

P.S anyone got one they don't want anymore!

Thanks Paul!

Tried all the Ebay ones - all sold.

JPS is the one who advised about the release date of the next version for the RB25DET and he is also out!

can you post the email u got from jps?

Crap I have already deleted it! I will get him to resend it. He mentioned that he had 20 on backorder and they are all taken (was one left yesterday morning but by the time I saw the email was too late!) and after that there was no more till mid next year with the new release.

Il post the email when I get it resent!

Alright, I just managed to purchase one on ebay for ECR33 - this seller had 3 left (well now 2) a little bit dearer but meh!

Cost me $1095.00 + $16.00 delivery. I am definitely too impatient to wait until next year for one! Delivery expected of b/orders within the next 2-4 weeks.

Microtech LTX12s is what i will be using in mine

Ive ran Microtechs on my prevoius cars and they have been fantastic - dont listen to the rubbish of they use more fuel - it just means the tuner hasnt done their job properly

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      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.

      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.
