Power Fc

[engo]

hey all...yeah i have searched.. my power fc for my 33 just arrived.... now,...as i went to plug it in.... i had a microtech lt12s in the car before... so the factory harness is there and a vaccuum line... the power fc doesnt have a vacuum line port !!!!...whhhaaaaa???? the stock ecu does !?? really really confused.. its the ap engineering model and i am hell confused.... plz sumone let me know... cheers

Because the Microtech has an internal map sensor. The FC uses the factory MAF meters. Why on earth would you get a PowerFC when you have a Microtech already?

To use the FC you will need to install the AFM's

hahaha.... cause microtech is pretty shit.. i have the z32 metre in there..... so where does that vacuum line go to?? its connected from the plenum... sooo should it go on to the back of the ext. wastgate port ?? for the second vacuum line??

Not even two weeks ago you were dribbling to me how a Microtech is for performance and so on in your OWN Wolf 3D thread.

(quotes for those who dont have time to read it all)

Well anyone can get a car to run well on WOT dude - and that is probably the LEAST valid point of a aftermarket ECU really... being they ALL do WOT throttle well, even a monkey could tune a car to do that well.

Its the other stuff in the middle, idle, cold start, part throttle, cell resolution, economy and so on that the microtech simply fails at doing with any decent effort... add in someone that might only touch one every few weeks and you'd be better off with a stock ECU.

better off with a stock ECU....ahhhh noooo....not at all...although microtech is best for rotors.. out of interest what ECU do you run..... i have run stock and microtech....and microtech for performance..which is what imo is the point....

ah well each to their own....

Low and behold you are now putting in a PFC and calling a Microtech "pretty shit".

You are a muppet.

whats more concerning is why do you have an ap engineering powerfc ?

there is no ap engineering powerfc to suit ECR33 GTST Skyline

i suspect youve brought an RB20DET PowerFC?

[engo]

hahaha!!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha....ahhhhh well... i thought you would be happy i took your advice.. have you got an answer for me cause besides all the shit i am still tryin to get this 33 running.... you put quotes and a link in... ahahaha... too much time on your hands

nah man sorry.. i got that part wrong.. lol... sorry mate.... btw that FAQ is possibly the best thing about this site ey...cheers mate...

Yeah, riiight.

So has anyone got any actual knowledge on the microtech or are we all just shootin shit in the breeze?

I think you said it in your quote Ash, 'add in someone that might only touch one every few weeks and you'd be better off with a stock ECU' and that runs true for any ECU. Microtech are just as capable as any other unit. They don't have as many outputs as some of the other units but as far as fuel and timing control goes...well capable.

And yes...the microtech was originally designed for use with rotary engines but that was in the early days. They do the same as any other basic unit and suit any application.

And I already answered you question on the vacuum line.

Vacuum line goes to the microtech because it has an internal MAP sensor. MAP sensors require a vacuum source. Your FC doesn't have a map sensor so it doesn't need the vacuum line.

[engo]

okokok.... plz.... where does that vacuum line go??.... does it plug onto the ext gate at the back... so there is 2 vac lines from the ext gate??..onw from boost controller and one from the plenum??

[engo]

so i just plug up the vac hose?? i mean.... waaahhhhh??

WTF? Why are we talking about external wastegates now? You asked about the vacuum line to your old ECU....run it wherever you want. Block it off if you want. If you need a vacuum source for the external gate then use it for that.

Why talk about the ECU if you really want to know about your gate?

Ye i know hehe - i should have quoted the first post where he says WOT and outright power is all that he's worried about, and in the same line he talks about Wolf equipped cars throwing pistsons... which again is more rubbish and dribble

[Guilt-Toy]

ffs. the microtech is not suited to a rb skyline. anyone who thinks otherwise has no idea. its not even worth trying to educate them otherwise.
