just spoke to the manufacturer....this ecu will support BOTH afm's and map based tuning. Runs a 32bit processor which is twice as fast as Autronic SM4.

will be due for release at the end of the month

you'll now have shit load more people coming around to this product due to AFM capability.

preliminary testing has shown map based tune to be just as good as AFM based in all facets...light throttle, idle, cruise etc..

but due to the dual functionality of the unit, you can run it either way

Hand controller available ? if so can you monitor everything with the h/c and comeplety tune the ecu using the hand controller?

If it dont have that kind of functionality like the PFC I will be keeping my PFC.

don't you have a laptop?...much easier to tune with a laptop

manufacturers have steered clear of producing a H/C as this is not a boyracer ecu...its a high end product...so no hand controller (maybe we can see if adapter for Apexi H/C can be done in the future...difficult to do...but not impossible...as this would be a nice feature to please all the Apexi lovers out there)

digital dash is being produced for this unit also...displaying most importantly...KNOCK or lack of it

lol Yes i have a laptop and have datalogit as well.

What if you have 2 maps, one is a race tune map for c16 and one is a 98 octane map, you fill up at a servo and find your engine is knocking its head off.. ahhh bad batch of fuel mate.. You can't exactly switch it to the race tune map can you ?

As much as it is cool to drive around everywhere with the laptop plugged in.. not... its good to be able to get into the maps and change them on the fly for the conditions. Yes I am a Apexi PFC lover but I must say I wont keep it if something comes up that is better and does what I need it to do.

you know what to do when that occurs but....99% of Power FC owners would not have a clue. I see what you mean though...this ECU is not for everyone....ill show you 1st hand the product and we will give it a run in your car and we will see if we can convert you.

Yeah cool.. I will give it a go...

I am all for local products.. if your comparing it to the likes to autronic / motec maybe you can ask the guys to put ignition knock corrections like the standard ECU.

So if the ecu see's knock it will drop the timing to drop the knock automatically....

I know the AEM ecu does this and the Nistune ecu does this (stock ecu). they are the only 2 ecu's i know that can do this.

Power FC is only a "flashing light"

Maybe ask them if they can do that, and also can you plug in a wideband afr meter for tuning and auto tuning. EGR inputs

how many aux inputs will there be on this ecu ?

your getting me excited now lol... also the cost would be interesting to know.

I can see this costing $2k+ judging by the features.

If its not sub $1400 then its certainly not going to replace the Powerfc in a hurry.

$2K is around the ballpark

will not be sub $1.5K

around $3000+ less than a MoTeC

its more a ECU for those looking for advanced features and datalogging.

think about it...sell Power FC, AFM's and boost controller and upgrade costs next to nothing

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
