I was lucky and brough it off a mate that just came back from oversea.

But even if you check out some of the internet sites, they are pretty cheap.

Now all I have to do is get the thing installed and keep all you guys posted. Hopefully I will be able to gain about 30kw and a better mid range torque with the ignition control.

Strutto, has anyone actually proved that the manual PFC is no good in an auto? I am running a modified manual ECU in my auto and am able to increase the boost to 1bar, although it wont hold until i fit an electronic boost controller. It also changes hard between gears and generally goes better with no real difference in fuel consumption. I have had no adverse effects except for occasional stalling but that was the case with the standard ECU.

Have you run the Diagnostic on the Auto since you installed the other ECU? Does the gear changes fell harsh and does your auto hesitate to change up gears?

No i haven't run diagnostics, the only noticeable difference with gear changes is 1st to 2nd gear is brutal at WOT. No hesitation shifting up, however if i stuff around with the throttle to listen to the bov, it changes a little awkwardly, like a small free rev. This is characteristic of a trans that needs maintenance or is low on fluid. I will check this in the next 2 weeks as i am a lazy bastard!:( I do have a long term leak on the trans cooler that could be the culprit. when i get an EBC it will be less annoying swapping between the 2 ECU's as i have to adjust the boost for the stock ecu, therefore making it easier to check transmission behaviour with the auto and manual computers.

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
