Dropby Baskin Robbins at Chapel Hill tonight to get instant answers to your questions. To answer it briefly, yes. By installing a new ecu (doesnt really matter which brand) will improve any parameter you wish. For example, you might want response over high end torque/power and having said that you'll probably will lose fuel economy at the same time too. In most case fuel economy will be slightly better as they're rich when stock.

Whacking a powerfc by itself into your car wont do anything and it's actually it's only got a base tune for your car and if you buy it second had which most times you will the power fc will have been tuned for someone else car. I have an almost completely stock car but with a Nismo exhaust my car was tuned to 187.1 rwkw from a powerfc which I was freaking surprised at but in the end a lot comes down the the tuner and what you want. If you want a "speed/power" tune your going to get some economy sacrificed, most people get a power tuned laced with economy just because your not going to need so much power really unless it's a track car and with fuel prices the way they are it makes sense. There are also a lot of other ECU's out i've heard some good things about Emanage but it's all down to user preference, personally I love the hand controller and love the knock sensor on it although if you get it don't bother getting the Power FC Boost controller add on I heard it's shite

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
