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

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
