Pfc Or Remap

[rad100]

hey,

atm i currently have a power fc for my rb20det...

now i know these are great units etc.

i have tossed up selling this and getting a remap of my std ecu..

will this have the same effect? is having the pfc better?

will i loose anything getting a remap?

i dont know if I am gonna get the most out of my $1000+ pfc as i only street the car!

cheers

Keep to PFC! There aren't many workshops that can't tune a PFC, that said not all are what I'd call experts. You'd be hard pressed to find many workshops who will tune a std 32 ECU, maybe 5 years ago but not now.

For a mild RB20 the remap is a good option. Almost every man and his dog can tune the R32 std ecu.

5years ago there was only Martin. Now there's mainly Jeff that floats. I know he 'used to at least not sure if he still does' work down at Boostworx for those that want a remap.

However. If you plan to have multiple tunes to get it to the stage you want then a pfc works out cheaper.

The only real advantage of the pfc is it has a 20x20 map vs the std ecu's 16x16; its interpolation is just as good as the std ecu; it has inlet air temp sensor correction (so good for mallala and those hot days). The pfc can be made to idle better/easier with big cams etc. So it really depends on the final goal.

As for the ecu's auto knock retard that still let mine ping its arse off. I think its a load of crapola.. I'd rather have my dash light flash. How do u think those rb25det's pop their ring lands on the std ecu.

Find out what the initial tune + tunes there after are worth.

When I priced up they were up in the $800 for the initial then ~$500 there after.

But times are changed and Jeff is now on the scene so find out what he charges.

yeah I really like the PFC but if only it had knock control & correction like the STD ECU rather than just a warning.

Apexi need to get their act together and bring out a new model like the Motec & the Haltech E11v2........maybe some extra features and a 32 x 32 map.

Some anti lag features wouldn't go astray either.

Maybe some launch & traction control.

Other advantage of PFC of STD ECU is the ability to process info alot quicker.

this is wat i have to tune!!

i found my car feels better with the std ECU! am i just strange or ???
