Power FC's FTW there a awsum unit but AFM's are a pain. Is it possible to mod a GTR loom for a RB25 or get a DeJetro working on a 25 at all? Has anyone done this before and is it even possible? Oh and plz dont say go microtech.

cheers Davo

yup done a few rb20's and rb25's for SAU's. Wheezy is one of them. Jaycar or MSD for the vct switching point activator. Seriously though we now just fit a LINK G4 plugin (rebaged here as vipec)

100 points for the super quick reply. It was just a question in the bak of my head for a long time I just wish apexi made that model for 25's also. I'm gonna hunt down some info now if u know any good writeups can u shoot me a link.

cheers Davo.

the vipec also sits inside your stock ecu case ?? so its fairly undetectable correct me if im wrong

Yer your right it does.

I just did a quick readup on it n it sounds freakn awsum. The only thing i couldnt find was a price for the unit, anyone know what it costs for the unit? (most of the dealers say call for price so it sounds scary).

Also does it use the stock knock sensor as a input?

D-jetro onto RB25 is super easy,

2 wires on the plug get changed, you do the MAP and IAT wires (again super easy) and a $80 MSD controler for the VCT

Took me all of 30 minutes to get the R33 GTR D-jetro ecu working on my R33 GTS-T,

Just to rock the boat, with me having mapped both cars I get better responce, better drivability and better fuel consumption from the D-jetro! for the price, ease of mapping and hand controler for monitoring Knock ectr I still prefer the PFC over the other brands... though all the race cars i do either use autronics or haltech's

Just ordered 2 Vipec plug-in ecus and 5bar map sensors and expansion loom on monday, they are going for $1765, and $187 for the map sensor and $70 for expansion loom.

you can use the stock knock sensors or aftermarket ones doesnt matter, but you will need a knock amplifier for either, unless you get the V88 version which has the amplifier built in. the V88 goes for about $2500~

D-jetro onto RB25 is super easy

Cheers Rezlo.

nengun prices are really cheap atm so i'm thinking bout geting my Djetro unit soon.

So the R33 GTR Djetro unit plugs stright into my RB25 loom? And the only extra gear i have to order is 1xMAP sensor, 1x Air Intake Temp sensor, Sumthing to control my VCT and can u use the Apexi Boost control solonide through the exsisting wireing of the standard boost control solonoide?

cheers Davo

please dont just plug it and start the car

there are numerous differences on the GTR 26 PFC vs ECR33 PFC

injectors, maps, ignition timing, 02 sensor settings, airflow meters, airflow rams, wiring changes

so be sure you check *everything* before you do it

I sold my PFC Pro for my 33 Gtst, to help fund an engine rebuild, and was looking at getting a vipec plug in....but the price of those has gone up and up since they were released, so Im now looking at different options for the car.

So just curious as to what can/can't be done.

the PFC FAQ Covers how to mangle the rb26 djetro for use the rb25, but there is no gain in anything

it costs more, you have to do some custom work and wire changes etc, you also loose VCT, so you need a box/controller for that

its by far easier to use normal RB25 PFC and just get a larger scaled AFM such as Z32

this is by far the easiest, cheapest and quickest method to get it working again

yeah thats pretty much what I had figured...just gotta find somone who will part with their PFC for a realistic price...I sold my Pro version for 1200...and there are people trying to sell the normal version for nearly 2k...just gotta wait i guess...but will be funny driving the car around with the Standard ECU and injectors with a Big high mount hanging off the side....gonna be babying it for a while lol

Whats the price of the Vipec now?

I sell the Link, which as has been said is the Vipec before Ray Hall gets his hands on it, and they are very well priced for what they are. We have been having timing problems with PFC's of late and try not to fit them/sell them now.

why would you ever risk your hard earn $ and time and run a std ecu?

if you cant run it properly, dont run it at all

too often we see guys spend $$$$

put a stock ecu with heaps of mods

cos they cant be assed waiting

they load it up and bring it on boost

and cause damage

youve been warned

I think 1800 for the entry level? Pricing is on the site.

If your having timing problems, that aint the PFC's fault.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
