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)

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
