I'm quite interested in the Secret tweak you speak of Andy, and will be in contact in the near future about it mate.

What I'm more interested in at the moment, is whether the R34 GT T PFC will plug straight into an S1 ECU harness, and if it will actually run the S1 non NEO motor successfully.

Sure it will "run" the RB25DET. But it won't have any VVT, simply put;

1. The PFC expects (talks to) an infinitely variable drive for the inlet camshaft

2. The RB25DET (non Neo) has only an on/off switch on its VVT

3. So they won't talk to each other

So my guess is everything else will work, but not the VVT. Anything that doesn't work should be easily fixed, but not the VVT. For example the ATTESSA outputs from the ECU.

Notwithstanding the auto transmission issue of course.

:huh: cheers :P

SK, is there any way to "trick" the R34 OFC to run in an on-off mode? Like maybe set the parameters to fully-switched on or fully-switched off where appropriate, instead of having values running up and down on a scale?

Oh, and should I disconnect the battery before unplugging and removing my ECU?

On the non-neo engines (on/off vvt control) it's as simple as making a small circuit that turns the vvt off at a certain rpm.

I've seen it done when the R32 ECU's were reprogrammed to be used on the R33's. The R32 ECU's didn't have any vvt control so (as I said above) a small circuit was made to switch it.

Run the car up on a dyno with the vvt off, then do another run with it on, where the two point cross is where you want it to switch. If I remember right, the vvt is ON at low rpm and then turn off at around 4500rpm ?

So I'm guessing that if the vvt issue is the only 'work around' then it'll be a piece of cake to get the R34 Gtt PFC to work on the Stagea's (if you can put up with the hard shifts).

Sorta makes me wanna buy another Stagea :) sniff sniff....

I wonder if Power FC's have an auxillary output, most aftermarket ECU's do. So when you reach a certain rev range it switches on eg: nitrous or a water spray. I imagine this could be used for the VVT.

I'm interested in this as I'm in the process of doing a manual conversion, so the auto wont be an issue for me.

bejeesus

Myself me and I, have been in a R33 with 300rwkw, automatic with MV Autos shift kit, and with Power FC.

It DOES bloody work

The gears shifted fine, whether it was city traffic driving, or spirited hills driving.

Power FC + MV Auto vale body DOES WORK for the automatics.

Hi guys I am reading all about you guys discussing if a R34 GTT APEXi power fc and be used on a Series 1 Stagea but this model of power fc has been discontinued so it is not possible to buy it now:-( And if any of you guys know of where to get 1 or have 1 yourself to sell then could you please PM me as I am looking for 1 for my R34 GTT powered R32 GTST. And also does anyone know if a R33 RB25DET power fc can be used on a R34 RB25DET NEO?? Thanks

Ok, I've found out that the VVT on the R33 and R34 are basically the same ON/OFF, the R34 has just been improved to give a smoother transition. So this should work ok.

The other problems are that the R34 has a boost pressure sensor and the R33 doesn't, also the R34 has some sort of throttle motor on the throttle body.

The power FC could be easily fooled into thinking these were connected, but would this affect the running of the engine if it didn't get the correct signals?

    • 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.
