At the end of the day you should select a tuner who has greatest experience in the ECU you would like. Or, if you know someone that you want to tune your car, he will make a recommendation in what he feels he can tune correctly (if he is honest).

Whether is uses MAP sensors of AFMs is does not matter at all, if the tune is right there is no noticable difference when you are driving.

PFC is a great ECU especially for a street car does exactly what you need but personally there are other ECUs that can do things better. For example, I chose a Vipec V88 one of the reasons being it has knock control which I think is essential (my opinion).

Read every post but do not take any of it as gospel, people have opnions (sometimes very strong ones) and that over shadows a lot of truths and factual information. Do your research by talking to different tuners and make a decision based on what you want out of an aftermarket ECU and weighing up the pro's and con's of each.

Good luck,

Mike

3. Make sure that ECU at least is semi-common so if you have an issue later, you can switch tuner without much issue

Thats the main reason why ill be going power FC. I know if i hit a snag some1 will have had the same thing happen.

Nistune/remap same soft of thing. Extra $200 in getting nistune setup but its great had it in my 32 gtst and will be using it in my gtr

I tune for a living and am happy to do all 3, NISTUNE (3 or 4 week, but mostly s13), WOLF ( about 3-4 week) and POWERFC (about 6 -10 week) BUT for your application POWERFC for sure. It has the best aftermarket support ie can be tuned anywhere. The wolf V5 is not a bad piece of kit but after doing quite a few i think the extra cost is not worth it over a PFC.

PFC FTW

agreeing with Trent ^ Power FC is great for your application, i have run a power FC on a 300kw GTR with nismo AFM and was great, the only reason i went to autronic was cause of AFM's on a single set up, and cause at the time i couldnt find a d-jetro but would certainly look at one now and am actually considering going back to power fc just for the ease, and more than anything the handcontroller gibves you everything you need on a simple display.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
