I spoke with Ivan from RPM. He reckons there's not that much difference in a car with a powerfc compared to a remapped std. comp. He said to me a guy had the std. comp in his r32, then changed to a power fc and the hp was the same but the mid range picked up 10-20kw.

Think he big difference is power fc gives you the ease of adjusting without having to plug an computer in, which can be handy. Also allows for monitoring of systems, AFM, injectors, knock, revs, speed, boost blah blah.

Another big plus with the power fc is that it is fully portable and can be resold alot easier than a chipped ecu.

Bottom line, is it worth it? Perhaps that is something that only the person fitting the power fc, or remapping their ecu can answer, but remapping is definately a good cost effective way of squeezing more out of your car.

If you have a chip already, makes remapping even more cost effective.

Just realised I saw 9krpm at Morpowa when my car was up - thats one sweet ride you got there!

Sorry for the late introduction as I did not know who you were and can't help drooling about your car too.

Thanks for the complement.

Matt, I got knock sensor;)

Yeah very true mate. Mind you @ 180+km/h I don't think the "eng check" light flashing would've helped me in time anyway.

Hmm, I think maybe you underestimate the usefulness. I have grone accustomed to its presence, and it so much as blinks once and I am off the gas - works really well, my paranoia helps.

It actually activates quite low on the scale to give you plenty of warning, well before its enough to cause problems.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
