I always thought that a remap ecu was the tight ars way and that a PFC was the best way to go? :)
+1

Too much ignition DVD boys :)

PFC is good, no doubt, but now its getting old and there are a lot better ECUs out there.

As for remaps being tight ass, it goes back to what i said before, all depends who tunes it and what software.

*edit* and 1 of the reasons its cheaper is because it takes way less to tune it because you already have base maps to work with where as PFC u have to do everything from scratch as far as i know....i wouldnt want a noob tuner to set everything up for me from scratch thats for sure :banana:

If the pfc is old and out of date does this mean the pfc boost contrloer kit is out of date and i should be looking at a stand alone boost kit witch will have more technology?

I cant comment because i have never seen it or used it, but i would think that a boost controller is a boost controller...there cant be TOO MUCH difference. Just make sure it has a MAP sensor as it will hold boost better :)

Can i just also add that depending on what setup you are going, and really want a after market ECU, i think Haltech is the best bang for buck.

Has a lot of tuning options

Aussie product (therefore lots of support)

Plenty of supporting Hlatech products (map sensors, boost cntr. kits, dashboards etc etc)

Turbs 13 (spelling ?) on here with 32 GTR went from PFC to Haltech and he said he would never go back.

Haltech E11v2 is their top of the range ecu and its around 2G new.

i got a dyno at willall 215kw @ 10psi on the stock turbo and before the rebuild, i dunno how it pulled that number? possibly lean afr's?

bish33 - come along to the dyno day at boostworx like cubes suggested, it should provide an answer to your question here.

A few things the pfc has over the stock ecu.

PFC 20x20 load/rpm map vs the stock ecu's 16x16 load/rpm.

For myself the PFC felt noticeably smoother some how at small throttle openings.

PFC - Well known for its excellent interpolation between load/rpm points. = better fuel economy

The PFC has a dash flash instead of just R&R where it drops back to a 'safe' map that may not be 'safe' under some circumstances.

How an rb30det making 268rwkw manages 450km's per 50litres of fuel daily driving 60km/h stuff with a good tune is a testament to how good the pfc actually is at interpolation and the ability to tune it finer than the stock ecu due to its greater 20x20 load/rpm map.

The PFC has never been a fully fledged ECU; hell even the microtech has more features standard. :laugh:

There's really little point comparing it to one when they are worth almost 2x the price.

For the usual streeter a PFC is nice on the pocket and returns excellent fuel economy with minimal dyno time.

IMO. :P

before what? ahaha

check this link. another s1 33 with over 200kw and no upgraded turbo!

all the evidence points towards it being a true reading???

:cheers:

Bish33 this wouldn happen to be the yellow r33 getting around would it? I say this because i always see it in Victor Harbor an thats where your from on your location :( Love the colour of your car dude, Anys i have a black r33 with a few mods an i dont know if you remember but we were down anzac's an we both gave it a bit of squirt (to the speed limit of course) You cained the living shit outta me i have just over 210kw so maybe this dyno read out is true an you have a freak motor, But seriously take it to the dyno day to shut these guys up but f*k me if you run anything under well its going be abit embrassing, Peace out dude an catch up soon insane33.

Simon's rb25det made around 220rwkw on turbo tunes dyno as well. Sounds around the mark.

Yeah i remember that car quite well, So i would say bish33 alot of people are rather jealous of your 220kw with minamal mods, Look at all the other dick heads on here spending huge dollars an getting only 200 its a joke. Well done i say an f*k everyone else.... :(

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
