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

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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
