Dont get a power fc to gain power, power fc just provides much more tuning potential. you might squeeze a few kw's out of it. What mods are you currently running?

errr damo, did you not gain like 35rwkw from a tune with a power fc?

Tuning potential = power gain, power delivery

i gained power coz i upped the boost by 3 psi.

hahahahaha

damo, so michael spend nearly 2 hours taking massive amounts of fuel out and tiding up your timing for no reason?

The way your tune was, if you up the boost by 3psi, you probably would have gain around 5rwkw.

160odd to 200 with 3psi, I wish it was that easy.

^^^^ lol, well i wouldnt spend 1500-2000 on a power fc and tune to get f*#k all results thats just wasting money. Mods i hav are fmic, 500hp fp, 3.5 catback, pod filter, platnium plugs, suspected highflow running 10-12psi mayb others but unsure. I kno that 220kw's seem high for mods, i hav copped heaps of shit from mates bout this so dont bothering telling me but its not like i asked the dyno to give me a high reading lol

The guys are using the "nistune" sytems these days for remaps. Technology has come along way compared to remaps 2 years ago etc. There wouldn't be much difference between this and a power fc in tunability, I chose the power fc simply for the read outs it gives and when you add more mods it is simplier to upgrade the ecu data via the hand controller.

This will give you all the information you will need about the remaps.

what doesn't help is unnecessary input.

put simply

Power FC: get it if you are planning on getting heaps of tunes or you want a hand controller with Live information

Remap: Get it if you want a cheap, quick fix and which does the same job, if not better with knock correction.

As above ^^

I recently became aware of the Nistune Type 4 daughterboard for the R34 RB25DET and had boostworx install and dynotune it. Got like 20-25rwkw without touching boost... a/f was sitting around 10.8 before the remap, and after shuan was done with it, it was around 11.8.

Highly recommend boostworx if you want to do it in SA, Shaun does around 2-3 remaps on skylines a week.

ok so i spoke to shaun at boostworx today and hav decided to get a remapped z32 ecu as he sed it is bout as good as power fc, the fc just has the hand controller which gives it a small advantage. Speedlab never got bak to me so i spose its his loss and my gain as i will end up with something a lil better in my opion

ryanrb35, if you had any idea what you were talking about you would stop going on about pfc being so much better that the standard comp... seriously! by you stating a remap as a "quickfix" ur kinda showing ur lack of knowledge! we do 5-6 re-maps a week on average, u cant beat pure facts!

im sorry jeff didnt get back to you man, he is a verry bussy man! lol

are you happy with the price of modding the vg30 comp? (adjusting all the wires and so fawth) jus is kinda going about it the hard way, but if you will be that much happier keeping ur vct then do what makes u happy! :D

have you had it tuned yet? what did it make? hopfully it turned out that u had a hi-flow on there...

    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
