just a Q or two :D

what do yaz recon is the best aftermarket computer to get?

iv been thinking about Power FC, EMS and Link

the price differences are pretty big and i wanna know if the extra $$$'s are worth it...:)

another thing..

iv noticed that alot of the big performance cars have electronic BC's even though they have a computer that can do this :confused:

whats the extra money for? i went to advan in silverwater the other day and a greddy bs is 800$ when u include the remote switch it goes over a grand.,. same with apexi AVCU thats like 1100$

apart from looking kool do these BC's offer any advantage over the computer's BC?

and another thing iv been wondering ....

the advan gtr, GRACER (i saw it there the other day) has a link not a power fc :confused: i thought the P FC was like the best :confused: :confused:

all very confusing... ;)

Hype.. it really all comes down to who you can get to tune the

thing.

The advantage as everyone knows is that the PFC is basically

what you would call "Plug and Play" :) even though some tuning

would be recommended. Others you would be chopping wires

left right and centre.

I ASSUME that if you get busted by the EPA, it's just a matter of

sticking back in your old puter and get it tested? The problem

will be that you will lose your settings on the PFC? Anyone

confirm?

I always thought for the amount of $$$ spend for EBC is due to

corrections in boost spikes, the facility to monitor other stuff etc

etc. I don't have one personally but thats what I've read.

Electronic boost controllers holds boost better, and doesn't allow boost to spike as much. The bleed valve types also have to be adjusted inside the engine bay, where the EBC can be done in-cabin. More convenience that way.

the link is an nz computer it doesn't have as many plotting points as powerfc.

but powerfc has one draw back it still uses afm's but unless you plan to go over 300rwkw the powerfc should be fine and you can always un plug it but chances are it wont even be seen any way.

shop around for prices as there are plenty of bargains out there.

That "nengun" place in Japan also has new AVC-R $807 and SAF-C $512 , Power FC alone $1200, do you need the hand controller once the car is tuned? Has anyone bought anything off them, I mean do you end up paying for things that will never arrive?

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
