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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
