Stock would be useless with those mods you got... :banana:

But i guess just to check everything running first , you could use stock. Or you can just go full aftermarket with a Haltech or Microtech.

Cant see why you cant use a power fc if your loom is all fine.

Im just wondering, are you the same girl that sold me your SAFCII... did we ever meet ?? like at mt ommaney ?

No worries Kate.

The best idea for Kate would be to get the stock ECU running for a while and if she does find a powerfc get the powerfc in there from a tuner who knows his shit.

P.S. All RB25DET powerfc's are the same. Neo's are a different story. And the looms change from model to model, obviously.

Sam aka Dr Drift does standard computer remaps for rb25's now.

what i will be going, bit more expensive then a standard re-map as a new motherboard get put in, but still good pricing as far as i am concerned, and can do everything a PFC can do cept you dont have a hand controlller.

i'd suggest asking him, i believe he is coming up in a number of months.

so i find out this morning its a NEO engine

WTF am i supposed to effing do now???

i soo give up :happy: looks like i wont be out friday night :D

So you've got the better R34 Version of the RB25DET!!!! - Get an ER34 Power FC I guess....

Seeing its a drift car, you'll only need to run legacy items to get the car going...therefore the ER34 (R34 PFC should do the trick)????

Still....hard to get a second hand PFC for R34...well...cheap that is...

can anyone give me a hand with tryin to find somewhere??

would be much appreciated!!

Just to clear some things up to prevent you buying the wrong ecu

You mentioned you are using a stagea rb25det. There is a few different types. They all use R34 ecu plugs

Series 1 stagea uses a series 2 r33 rb25det and there is 3 different factory ecu's which are wired up different. Even thou they are R33 motor's the ecu plug is a R34 rb25det. Series 1 stagea's use r34 power Fc due to the plug style, but require wiring mods, depending on which model ecu you have

Series 2 stagea uses a R34 rb25det neo motor and r34 ecu plug and a r34 power fc will plug straight in and work in a stagea, your car being r32 will probably need some wiring mods. Mainly power feeds etc.

Series 2 stagea came in AWD and RWD versions with the r34 rb25det neo motor. The RWD has the traction control throtle body and the AWD version does not. This will help you determine which series 2 stagea neo motor you have.

Have a search thru the stagea section as there is few power Fc threads with the issues encounted.

Just had a look at profile and the pic's of the Rb25det.

That engine is NOT a Neo. It appears to be a r33 version.

Did it come with a AWD sump?

It did but they replaced it with the R33 sump and oil pump.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
