Hey guys, I am new to these forums, mainly do subaru stuff. But I have a question which is mainly aimed at all the guys out there using power fc's. I have one for my car, liberty rs, and I am running a Z32 afm at the moment. But I was wondering if you were able to elimate the use of the AFM with the PFC? I know that there was a special kind of PFC that was made, that didn't use an AFM, but pretty sure they were only made for a skyline, no subaru's.

But my question is, are you able to use a Air flow Converter, or Super air flow converter in conjuction with the PFC to get rid of the AFM?

Thanks in advance,

Mitch

You still need to have a signal coming in to bend. Where are you going to get you air flow reference from then? Why have a signal bender if you have a programmable ecu?

Need afm for normal pfc. Not need one for d-jetro.

If you search there is craploads of info on this topic.

^^ As he said you will still need a signal to tell the pfc how much air is coming to the engine, the AFC and the PFC are only piggy back computers as where the PFC is a stand alone ecu so running a PFC and SAFC will only interfere with each other

you could run an safc and powerfc if you wanted but it wont achieve much

the safc wont allow you to ditch the afm to run a map sensor

have a look for the hks vein pressure converter, see if you can get that for your car

Thanks for the imput guys, will look into this pressure converter, thanks!

can you run two afms. i think with a safc you can have two inputs and convert it to one output then feed that signal into the pfc. or is the powerfc able to do this conversion aswell.

yeah you need the safc to run two afms on a single AFM powerfc (or stock ecu conincedently)

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
