why would you use a power fc, its expensive and has worse features and less resolution than somthing like ummmm and ADAPTRONIC?

Power FC = failbus

24x24 map is like the atari of ECUs

i think you might earn a commission of adaptronic :blink:

im currently just looking at prices, but id be lying if i say im not keen on the pfc :ermm:

explain why immediately. we all demand to know the reason behind this silly talk, the design of a power fc is probably older than you are!

and the reason i reccomend adaptronic is because i bought one on a reccomendation, i was suspicious having never heard of it, then it blew me and anyone else who has touched it away! Plus the fact that the guy who built the things is only a phone call away is a massive bonus

thats exactly my feelings - ive never heard of it,

whereas the pfc is used in countless countless cars - and is also more readily available to be tuned

because we all know im not going to efi for the adaptronic, as good as they might be at tuning it, it wouldnt be appropriate lolz

They are on a lot of cars because they are old, reltively few people are buying them new now

Sit down and compare the features and you will find that the power FC sucks ass compared to the new haltech series, the links, the vipec, wolf and indeed adaptronic

And every tuner i have spoken to in Brisbane has tuned adaptronics and comment that its easy as piss! Kai zen garage like I said installs and tunes them for $1100 , look on the secret drift forums and see how many people are using them, they are also very popular in the US for the 'miata' crowd.

If you look objectively at the features im sure at the very least you will find Power FCs are gay, and in all likelyhood you will find that in a 4cyl application adaptronic cant be beat, especailly given the price

The datsun 180b was the highest selling car in Australia in 1973...doesnt mean its anygood now :blink:

I think a lot of people still use PFC mainly due to the availability of tuners and not wanting to pay extras for stuff/functions you dont use. At least thats the reason why I went the pfc way.

firstly i <3 a cronicly set up miata

and secondly i hear what you're saying andy - and im going to do some more reading/researching

Kai zen garage are in brisbane yeh? ive never come in contact with them before

and you are right - 1100 fitted and tuned is freaking hard to beat, and deliciously awesome :blink:

I hear that argument brandon, but in this case the Power FC is neither cheaper nor better! And every tuner i have spoken to finds the interface for the adaptronic a lot easier than the power fc. When i chose i talked to my perferred tuners first and got thier recommendations, Tristan should do the same, im not trying to be a prick i just really hate seeing people waste thier hard earned!

yeeh cheers man :blink:

Tristan, Kaizen garage isnt a big outfit but he is starting to get a name, he really only does adaptronics, but has done a lot of work in the drift scene. I could also contact my mate? he has one running his r33 he could show you, and should be able to install it and supply it really cheap then you can get it tuned anywhere you like!

man that'd be pretty sweet hey

let me organise my injectors and then we'll talk more seriously :blink:

FINALLY! Finish that freaking estimate. Hahaha managed to find my own mistake thats worth 50k. :blink:

I'm surprised that bloody rotary shit talk is still going on. After page 7 or so its just repeating itself. Harrys burger tomorrow night???

Bunta: Yea 1100 is a very nice price for that package.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
