Are we just talking about GTR's here, or the entire gammit of cars?

PFC's out of the box can start all imports first time, it will more then likely be a ping-master due to it being tuned for Jap fuel though.

I think if you polled the number of PFC users compared to Wolf users the stats would tell you otherwise..  :P

For mild to mid modded cars either one is more than capable,  but once you start getting serious most people don't use either of these.

How good is the standard maps in the wolf?  Is it as plug and play as the PFC???

No I don't believe the Wolf comes with a pre-loaded map, but seeing as you get given software you can simply download a map from someone who is running similar spec to you:D

And yes, I think if you did a pole in WA you would see which way the wind is blowing:D

An arguement which could go on forever depending on which ecu you prefer. :P

No doubt the Wolf is gaining popularity, but PFC would still have more users atm, may change in the future who knows.. Like someone else said most shops shy away from Wolf (some won't do PFC either) because they prefer other stuff. More shops will suggest PFC over wolf which probably explains the higher users.. Though more and more shops are telling you to go for Autronic or Motec (read shitloads of money)...

6 of one half a dozen of the other IMO

The PowerFC are a good computer, and up until recently the import market hasn't had much competition, it's nice to finally have some choice in ECU's.

I totally agree that each workshop will lean towards what they want to sell, because they feel more comfortable tuning it, and aslong as it makes the power without blowing up then all is good:D

I really think that Apexi should release the laptop software though, I see it as a major drawback IMHO, as not everyone has access to a Datalogit.

Agree wholeheartedly, if the factory PFC software was available in english it would be a much more rounded package with even less flaws it currently has...

Still, if Steve could hire a Japanese speaking (reading) mechanic and we can somehow get the software from Japan we are in business lol

Fabian has found the limits of his PFC and is changing it soon.

Wolf GTR Plugins are out this week and were putting one in Ants Killer.Plugins do come mapped now amd MAP sensor are fine on road cars and many factory cars are on MAP like Supras and many other Toyotas and lots of Holdens and 6 cyl Falcons ETC.

Some of the shops that bag Wolfs have tryed to be dealers but get knocked back. Wheelspin ,Xspeed, Regional motorsport and Maitland performance + Works now sell Wolf for us.

Wolf would easy be the most used ECUs in WA ( I sold 18 last week)

the picture on the left i believe is from there....i need to take another pic...

a mate bought the car in feb and sold it to me as he went up to the mines...

thanks for the input guys i'll be going the front/dump pipe first then mebbe a high flow cat and then the wolf then the fmic me thinks....this the correct order everyone reckon?

i would go the safc kim but i figured why half do the job why not just go the extra money and save upgrading again in the future....

Fane,

Prolly go the Dump/Front + Cat, then FMIC, then wolf :rolleyes: It'll let you have some fun upping the boost before you fork out the mega-fold for a Wolf :)

And Yep, your completely right, if your power goals warrant a wolf, then why settle for an AFC?

That said, there's a market for AFCs if you were to upgrade to a Wolf later, like so many other's have :D

Good Luck with the mods :D

Paul,

That said it should be pointed out that with the stock cooler I wouldn't push it past 11psi, I keep mine on 10psi. Simply because the pressure drop across the Stock IC is rediculously high.

With a frontmount I dont see 13-14psi being an issue :rolleyes:

Fane,

Could be misfiring, could be boost cut, could be faulty AFM, could be too much fuel, next time I see ya take me for a drive and we'll try a few things out. I had the same problem. Most of it is gone now after the AFC though :)

    • 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 👌
