Hi all,

i currently run a Greedy emanage on my r32 GTR and want to change over to a Power FC

A well known Sydney workshop has advised they can use a PFC from a R34 and change some wires and it will work on my car. He has a 2nd hand unit and has made it very compelling from a $$$ perspecetive.

I know that the 32 and 33 PFC's work and usually not the 34 version.

Does anyone know if this has been successfully done before? I dont want to be the guinea pig for this.

thanks

I'm sure it can be done, but how cheap is this power FC? because 32/33 power FCs are not exactly stupidly expensive. they are probably the most affordable ecu you can buy and one of the most common types of PFC out there. so the 34 one would need to be mighty cheap to make it worth the hassle.

yeah he quoted me under $1000 supplied, installed and tuned. No hand controller though.

is this good? Im thinking yes

If the tune is good, then yeah that sounds cheap.

You should probably set an alarm on your phone to snipe this in the last 10 seconds:

it's ok, but really not super cheap. you can get a used PFC WITH hand controller for under $800 or less. and hand controller is important to have and expensive to buy on it's own.

i ended up getting it done but they decided to use one specifically for an R32 GTR. They spend 3 hours tuning it with 4 boost levels so i feel i got a good deal.

I have to say they did an awesome job on the tune, the car is much more responsive to throttle inputs and heaps less laggy with good progressive torque down low.

I will post the dyno printout but a quick summary saw me get the same power output on 14psi that i was previously achieving on 19psi with the Emanage. On 19psi i gained 26.2kw atw so now it has 311.2kw atw. There is more in it but i wanted it on the safer side.

Thanks to everyone for your comments and advise. this is a great forum thanks to you guys.

cheers

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
