Nexus_SiX, I like your intro www page. Almost got me, then I started wondering why I was seeing an IE error while using Opera under Linux :rolleyes:.

Hehe.. at.

I still get about a 50% ratio telling me the site is "broken"

As for the ECU thingo, my choice was twofold.

Cash. I could get the Power FC installed $500 cheaper than a wolf.

Longevity. We still plan to get a stagea down the track. This ecu will fit it :rofl: So it is a long term investment.

Easy of install, uninstall was the reason over the afc/cam gear combo. Which, essentially is doing the same thing really.

If you don't have an auto go the light flywheel. Drop your 1/4 times by 0.4sec.

Management over the intercooler. Even the humble S-AFC II will work wonders and leave some coin for other mods.

All up I reckon for $2k you can :

Ogura flywheel / S-AFC II / HKS exhaust cam gear / KCA349 rear cradle kit / Maybe get a custom front underdrive pulley machined up and some exhaust wrap.

just on that note, one of the things which Gus has done AS WELL AS the pfc, is heat-wrap everything. I reckon this could explain quite a big chunk of the perceived advantage which his car has over bog-stock.

It might not be all PFC!

LOL @ rev...

you'll have to come for a cruise one day and then we can see what happens.. :rolleyes:

Nah you'll have to go to the drags one day then we can see what happens.

You see, I have one point left and appart from the obvious legality whatever spanking I hand out at the strip is only made worse on a regular (private) road surface.

$1500 for a Power FC fitted and tuned would have to be 2nd hand and have no hand controller or boost control.

Normally yes.

But this was new and with hand controller. (+free tuning :) - what can i say? /me leet)

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
