You can have a good understanding of an ECU's capability by reading it's manual. Power FC manual is readily available on the net, as would be the other ECU's manuals presumably.

Water temp compensation means just what it says really. When the engine is cold it feeds the engine more fuel. As the engine warms up it reduces the fuel fed to the engine till the normal operating temperature is reached.

Sydneykid , you now nothing about the Wolf plug and play as it can do these things and more inc boost MAP or MAF air temp comp and very good idle control etc etc and it uses all the factory sensors and can be used with a hand controller or lap top( i would hate to tune about 4000 sites with a hand set)

People should check the facts before they post bull like you did.

Down load the software and eat your words.

Well this has been a long and interesting post, I've learnt a little, and decided to hold off buying those new injectors for a little while ;-)

However, it's better to be safe than sorry, since leaning out your fuel can be hazardous to your engine's health.

Next time Martin or any other Magazine people are in Perth they should come in to my shop and test some of our cars themselves. Some writers have their own shops selling other products so they support what they sell.

anyone who thinks otherwise has issues.

buster if you are Morg's mate as ur sig indicates congrats on the awesome time ... he told me about it.

in response to your question .... some people want dyno queens only. in no way am i suggesting anyone here is like that but thats one explanation.

maybe the rest of the package is lacking ... look at Donnon's ex soarer .... 300 plus rwkw in a manual soarer ... best was a 13.0 - very poor result, but the car just jept having issues.

im sure there are many more things then just that but theres a couple

tom thanks mate, but to be honest we all have our problems and nightmares with our biggish hp cars but some of us keep working and trying different things till we get there, and can show the full potential of our cars, others I'm sure make up excuses becuse there cars just aren't up to the task even though they've got a dyno sheet saying they've got the HP to do it,

Sydneykid, I have to agree with Steve on this one, I don't think your comparing the new Wolf 3D Ver4, as it shits all over the PFC in so many areas. I'm not going to start an ECU debate but you do have the facts wrong about this one.

Buster, While I'm impressed with the time you have achieved I'm sure you'll understand that not all of us need to rush out to do a 1/4mile to prove anything. I will be taking it to the Motorplex on November the 22nd, when there is an ANDRA drag meet with a fully prepped track, until then you'll just have to hold your horses:D

rb20-calais, I'm sure you'll be happy with the Wolf aslong as you can find a good tuner. It's the same as any ECU, if you don't have a good tuner you won't get good results:D

No Steve sorry it wasn't just aimed at you, as I know you will race and have raced in the past, theres plenty of people I know with big power though that don't race or have raced and just can't get the times because all they've got is a dyno sheet hahaha and not a well tuned car with good midrange/useable power

Your a lucky guy though getting a fully prepped track to race on, Hopefully soon with the new drag strip being opened in Sydney we'll get a fair go too and more then 3 runs a night/fortnight

Yeah, we have a very good facility here. Open racing on Wednesday nights and Sundays. Then they also have started a new class called Sports Compacts (i.e. Jap cars), where you can do head-head racing on a fully prepped track, they also have dyno shootouts, bikini babes etc:D

The 2-way mechanical diff will be going in soon, then all I need is a set of decent tyres and I'm ready to race:D

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
