Hey guys

i realise the power fc's stoped production for r33 gtst but i know you can still get some if you shop around. What would you expect to pay for them now and is it worth the mark up?

I searched the forums but didnt find what i was after. i heard that once you start tunning for big power the power fc is not the best ECU for the job because you cant adjust boost levels or something to specific measurements (hope this makes sense) is this true? cos ive been saving up for a haltec e11 ($2150) but if i can get a power fc cheaper ill consider it. (im chasing a street tune of around 270rwkw max)

Sorry but, search.

It's not that hard and you will find your answers quicker than waiting for replies in many cases.

I'd pay around 1,200-1,600 depending on condition of the unit and it must come with the hand controller and even that's overpriced fairly stupidly.

Expect to pay that much for discontinued stuff that is still useable.

Click on the link in my SIG about getting power FC's. they are still available and Apexi are still making them BUT they are only available through Apexi.

Click the link below and get yourself one before the demand stops and they stop making them.

There used to be one in the For Sale section without the hand controller for $900 i think,

THat would be a good option if the condition is ok.

I'd go without the hand controller and cough up the $500-ish for the Datalogit instead.

If the car is tuned well, the hand controller doesn't really serve much purpose but it is nice to look at i guess.

i think i might go for a haltec instead as i would need to buy a better AFM with the power FC so i would be looking at around $1950 all up. I can get a good deal on a new Haltec for $2000 running MAf (or MAF less the one that i dont need an air flow meter)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
