yeah looks like it mate. I cannot move forward with the PFC anymore.. I have learnt all i need to know about PFC's.. time to move onto bigger and better things.

haha know that tune well, changing ecu's is always part of evolution and can only ever increase ones skillset.

Did you know.... The first production car the Ford Model T 1908 was flex fuel compatible ? It could run just as good on ethanol as did on gasoline. There was a brass knob on the right side of the stee

Mick, I don't see the point of pushing every last kw out of an engine in a daily driver. I mean each to their own and all that - bit different for track cars. A tune will forever be a compromise betwe

that would be hard out of a skyline seeing as how the world record is about 180db...

But I'm working on it, don't worry :P

My sound system actually has 3kw of power... pretty weird to think about :D

Yeah... i got many years ahead of me before i catch you trent :P

On your current setup will you be able to go further by just changing the ECU? Where exactly is the PFC falling short?

Yes... The PFC is a great ecu. and it can do my power levels and much more. but seeing that i like to play nutty professor i need something that is more flexible to my needs.

I still love power fc's they are great. But this ecu came up and its time to make the switch, ive delayed it long enough. Hope it all works out.

well what ever it is (and ive got a bit of an idea what it could be if Dirt is involved)

you need to post the obligatry anti-lag flames out the exhaust video once uve got it all working haha

but seriously hope it all goes well,

im keen to see how she tunes up, differences you notice, and how all those new features work

GT from what I can see PFC's are fine for doing most of the things that users need in a programmable EMS .

I suppose more specialised uses (ALS/Launch etc) they're a bit limited but for what I want it'll do the job .

Things like the ability to self learn would be useful and I can see this feature becoming more and more important with the way emissions laws are going . If the systems can be made to self tune from basic maps then thats the hardest part for the end user solved .

BTW are you going to continue on with a mass air sensor or are you going to the dark side with an electric barometer ? LOL .

Cheers A .

BTW what system is the EPA using to analyse the exhaust gas , ages ago I remember reading that there is a method of shining a particular kind of light through the gas and by measuring the beam on the other side its possible to see the different levels of certain gasses .

im going over to the dark side mate. I am pretty sure with this ECU i can add a MAF if the MAP sensor pisses me off (this is a very good quality ecu so apparently this will not happen)

As for how the IM240 machine works at the RTA, i have NO idea.

But i do know how the machine reads, what it reads for and whats acceptable levels for whatever car.. I also know what levels are high medium and low when doing the dummy IM240 tests on the dyno instead of the guesswork i have been using previously.

Should be tuning another car for emissions very soon.

Good to see your dropping the Power FC finally.

Once you have the scope of something better you'll never look back. Id asume what ever your going to be using will be TPS/Map correction like the E11?

Generally I have only ever seen the RTA use a proper 5 gas analiser very similar to the Coda unit that anthony has access to.

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      By r32-25t · Posted

      A lot of bmw need big end bearings as often as other cars need timing belts, the v10 and v8 from the m5 and m3 around the e90 era were bad for it

      Welshys 32ZILA and the 8HP.

      By welshy_32ZILA · Posted

      Near 12mths since the last update apologies.  Car is back running and driving.  Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success.  Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft.  I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential.  Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me.  Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.

      I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well.

      Asking where to source parts

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers,

      V35 Skyline possible engine swaps?

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.
