It appears that the Wolf actually has a lot more features than the pfc.

Here's a quick run down on the features of Wolf v4 plug in for the R33/R32.

Map/Maf Use.

Closed Loop.

Air temp - Fuel/Ign/Boost compensation

Engine - Fuel/Ign/Boost compensation

Boost can be set per 500rpm to what ever value you like, it can also be trimmed to according to tps/air temp, engine temp.

Rotational Idle can be setup by Steve from SST.

Map Switching

Its a good ecu.

Check out the couple of threads that compare the PowerFC to the Wolf3D.

cool about time there was another good cheap plugin ecu. The older wolfs were a little shit, but i've heard the v4's are good. Dunno how they go with fuel economy, heard the microtech uses more, and can't remember if i've heard the same about the newer wolf's

i plugged my PFC in.

BANG. New car.

Wheel spinnage.

awesome power increase.

and after the tune ?? well the tune got me 285bhp

I so love the drivability of the PFC and the hand controller graph views are just totally awesome.

Id suggest the PFC to anyone.

Microtech uses more fuel because it doesn't have closed loop.

i.e as GTST VSpec told me that in closed loop mode it runs up to around 18:1 where as the best you can get from a non closed loop car is what ever the base map is which won't be 18:1.. :D

The dipstick assembly is just an iterference fit in the block hole. If you genty twist it you can lossen it and carefully keep turning back and forth until it comes out. Alternatively you could use the correct size drift and tap it out of the block from below.

OK so how do i get the Crank timing pulley off then. NOT the Crank pulley, the one behind them, in front of the oil pump which the timing belt goes around. Does it come off with the oil pump, cos it seems that the pump is free from the block, but the timing pulley is stopping it and i dunno how to get that off.

Your help is appreciated.

same way you got the oil pump off... tap it off with a hammer. You'll need to take the little key out (the little metal bit that stops the gear spinning on the crank shaft). But have some wood between the hammer and the crank gear cos you don't want to damage the teeth.

My timing gear was seized on the crank as well, and i got a local engine builder to remove it for me, they just drilled small holes in the timing gear from the front, extending from the center of the gear out to the edge, and then just used a cold chisel to create a radial split in the gear, and off it came. obviously a new gear was required.

Have any of you bolted the RB26DETT head on the RB30E?

Im about to do that, I was just wondering if anyone knew the difference in compression ratio?

If the RB30E/RB25DE is 8.3:1, what is the RB30E/RB26DETT?

Apart from tapping the holes in the block is there anything alse that needs doing?

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
