hahaha.. lol.. I guess your looking for a bit more then a laugh arnt you...

obviously plug and play meaning you dont have to go through the hassle of getting the tuner to chop up your loom to wire in the E-manage or Haltech thus creating a large bill at the end of the day

there are plug in looms for haltechs now, making a power fc even more redundant

a pfc should never be tuned with just a HC

Also PFCs are f*cking ancient. Do these people run 486s with their 18k dial up modems to connect to the interwebs as well?

you know where ill be when u get peckish

Oh tru? That might help decide.

What elso might help decide is I haven't found an antenna cable to hook up the TV yet :P

:rofl2:

Also vipec plug ins :domokun: There's simply no good reason to buy a PFC any more

I'd like to do things on the cheaper side for RIGHT NOW, but I can save for a PFC or whatever.

Obviously it's not simply plug in and boost your nuts off, but it does sound like a better option (so much easier to wire in hahaha). Then drive sedately to wherever/whoever to get a proper tune.

Other option I was leaning towards was a Nistune... even easier... and I can't see me adding too much extra in the future, so its an option.

Really all I want is more torque in the lower RPM range... It's only a streeter so I'm not fussed up high, cause it rarely gets to go at full song... I'd just like to be pushed back in my seat sooner :domokun:

Thanks for the PM too Tas

Even some model of SAFC would be able to give me a boost down low... for a far sight cheaper still. Any comments on SAFC/2 performance? It's only about 5 wires to splice in isn't it?

I dodnt think they control timing? Timing is what will give the greatest gains down low

agreed, and well priced too

go nistune or haltech or vipec, oh and im sure andy will rave about adaptatronic (or whatever its called) :domokun:

two good reasons and only two

Price point and the amount of people who can tune them, with ease.

Second point is of no use unless you've picked one up cheap.

If you only paid what they're worth (SFA), it's a far better option than a stock ECU, don't you think?

I had to grinder the nuts and bolts holding the lawn mower blades on. Stupid rusty POS

but I can save for a PFC or whatever

Save for anything other than a PFC

my GTR came with a power FC it eats me up inside everyday knowing that my car is run by the atari of the ecu world

LOL. big <3

Sell of it to one of the many nuggets who still think they are the ducks guts, and then buy a real ecu.

I wouldn't bother.. very limited tuning from an SAFC

adaptronics are only great in 4cyl applications at this stage, but for 4cyl they cant be beat!

thats the plan the power FC and the two z32 AFMs should pay for about half of the ECU i want

Finding a tuner is a minor issue. GOOD tuners can tune more than just PFCs. It's just a matter of finding a GOOD tuner that can tune your ECU of choice.

As for price, meh, they all seem way overpriced to me for what they are. But yeah if you get one for a good price, definitely better than a stock ECU of course.

Most tuners I talk to now dislike the power fc because the tuning software is old and shit too, was good 10 years ago, but a lot has changed since then

Of course most are over priced, but say you paid what they're worth ($500 with HC) than paying $1500? for something much, much better.

EG: my basic car, 500 + tuning seems more appealing than 1500 + tuning

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
