hey guys, just bought a POWER FC. I was wondering what you guys think of them, and whats your experiences....ive heard nothing but good news...i actually have a MICROTECH ltx-12s which are a fantastic ECU but not good for economy, which my car is daily driven so its essential. I also like the user friendly features of the pfc...

cheers....

I think it's more who tunes it than what type of computer it is. Being so common there are lots of places that can tune them.

The PFC is good in that you can easily check if there is something a little unusual going on. Another big plus is that it lets you know if there is excessive knock, maxed out injectors and i think AFM, through the dash light. So you can instantly back off.

Congrats on getting the power fc, should be picking mine up end of this week or next week. Is it true you need to upgrade your AFM when you plug in a power fc? I realise that it's a good upgrade to have done anyway but is it necessary straight away?

Nope, but it is recommended as there ain't much head room on the stock one when you start modding, upping boost etc.

Almost always a 300ZX 80mm airflow meter.

Yeah, figured a z32 would do the job, just need to get my hands on one and so do a few other ppl on these forums by the looks of it. I think i've been told about $350 for a new one (i think it's new), anyone else been told better prices?

Rule of thumb for Air Flow meters RWKW & Engine BHP

------ ---- OD ---- RWKW ---- RWKW ---- BHP ------ BHP

No of AFM's ---- ------- 1 -------- 2 -------- 1 -------- 2

RB26 ------ 65 ------ 149 ------ 299 ------ 271 ------ 474

RB20/25 --- 80 ------ 226 ------ 453 ------ 376 ------ 683

Z32 ------- 80 ------ 255 ------ 511 ------ 415 ------ 763

Q45 ------- 90 ------ 302 ------ 605 ------ 479 ------ 890

Always run power fc's in all my cars and never had an issues except for a faulty knock sesor. We are going to be selling wolf ecu's through our store very soon and would also appreciate people feedback on that ecu. As far as I no its alot more tunable then the power fc but alot more complicated to set-up and for the driver to change basic settings etc.

It's probably a bit much but i'm getting my power fc for $1450 through a shop. Been told i could have got it for cheaper through nengun or wateva but oh well, it's been paid for already anyway.

Isn't the afm for a rb20 and a rb25 different? I though one was bigger than the other...

rubzy, your not the only one man, i just paid that much...got it today. very pleased.

Hey ryanrb25, whereabouts you getn ur power fc installed? I'd take a wild guess and say boostworx cos it seems like that's where everyone else goes but figured i'd ask anyway.

Nope there the same only series two have 3 wire not 4. Install it yourself follow paulr33 guide then take it to boostworx and get shaun to tune it, there the cheapest and by far the best

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
