Is this true that the new versions from Japan allow you to make away with the air flow meter?

I am sick to death of air flow meters. fuel cut defenders etc etc.

Has anyone got one of these units yet? was it hard to install? how much did you pay for it ? where did you get it from?

How much better is the map sensor version compared to the air flow meter version ?

How much power did you get from the upgrade ??

what is the new version called? so I can be sure I am getting the right version ??

This is for a R33 GTST (RB25DET Series II)

Yeh i have the New Power FC Pro on my GTR R32

It eliminates the use of Air flow meters etc...It uses 2 map sensors for my car...

I got it done at Croydon Racing Developments

But the wait on the Power FC PRO is really bad...I waiting about 4 months for my computer to arrive...

It also gives u 2 new functions

which are :

Ignition cut for rpm limiter

and

Launch Control :P:):(

hope that helps

i think it was $3,000 including dyno tune and fitting...But i think i got a discount because it wasn't the 1st time i was there....

EVL R33- Well apparently you can use AFM with this computer...But Because i have a T88 the worst thing you can do is put 2 AFM in front of it.... The Power FC PRO was designed for drag racing..So it allows you to run to Map sensors im using the (3bar map sensors) I dont really think they made all different kinds of Power FC's only he normal one and the PRO...So if you have the PRO version im guessing you dont need the AFM aslong as you get Map sensors...

Hope that helped...:D

  • 4 months later...

For most people keeping the AFM is not an issue. You have to be making a load more horesepower than most of the cars on this forum before an AFM (Z32 or Q45) is holding you back.

Of course the stock R33 AFM is supposed to be quite crap.

Before you race out and buy the Pro version, just check up what the different versions do. The reason I'm saying this is because I'm 95% sure that the Pro won't do what you want. From memory, the Pro version just adds a rev holding point when your not moving (for taking off at the drags) and a different way of rev limiting (ignition cut I think).

The one you're after is the D Jetro version. I don't think you can get a Pro version of the D Jetro. Anyway, do a bit of a read yourself, as I'm not totally sure of what I wrote above.

Cheers,

Michael

EDIT:

Took out possibly misleading info ;)

I dont know exactly:

I think it does something to the timing and fuel to put the engine under load without moving. I guess it does what all the other launch control systems do (they all build boost up).

I know for a fact that it does, I do it every day in my car.

Yeah the Pro has launch control and ignition cut rather than fuel cut, thats the only differences between the power fc and power fc pro. You must run AFM's with both these models.

The Power FC D-Jetro allows you to throw away the afm's and run map sensors.

Or so I was told when I was looking at getting a PFC Pro...

usually off load boost generation is done by cutting spark to individual cylinders in a non repetitive fashion, so the unburnt fuel ignites in the exhaust manifold and runs up the turbo rpm. Is a feature on some rally cars. Sometimes they just put an injector into the manifold and you get flames :flamed:

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
