First of all, even in 5-6-7 years stuff wont change, they will get better. A piston is a piston, conrod=con rod. Turbo might spool faster. A better computer might make an apperance. But all in all It will be the same thing.

#2 I want all the information I can get

#3 I'm dead serious about this build, It may not be perfect right now, but I'm working on it.

#4 I plan on building this engine right. I'm a perfectionniste. I dont care if the engine cost 25-30000$ to build, I'm doing it right the first time.

#5 Yes i'm only buying the car next year, but I plan to buy peice by peice until I have enough to rebuild everything.

I'm sorry you guys see this as a waste of time. Sorry for your lost time. I won't bother you guys anymore

Thanks for the info that some of you guys gave me! Really helpful

Cheers

Did somebody say Vi-PEC?

Ash likes to say silly things like "Power FC will do the job" but upgrades his operating system to Windows 7 the day it is released. He like to embrace new computer technology for his desktop but leaves his car computer technology way back in the 1990's. lol

You're gonna stir Ash up again and turn this into a Vipec versus PFC thread AGAIN! lol

But I tend to agree PFC does the job but what ECU to go with pretty much depends on your objective/tuner for the choice of ECU.

Oh yea, I like the handcontroller display too. It tells me what I need to know or to just monitor stuff like knocking.

A $5 hooker with 9 STD's will "do the job" too... time to move on from old mate PFC!

I would rather my ECU do something about the knock rather than tell me it is happening.

If you had a decent tuner and parts you wouldn't get knock in the first place - touche!

I've not had one knock on the PFC above 30 in 10,000km's!

lol @ you Paul, won't work today, too much caffine makes me silly :blink:

Its a good to have feature and this is something I would rather have than to pay for extra features that are of no use to me. But to each his own. I might get a Vipec or something else down the track when I'm after more power but now, the PFC will do everything thats required.

And like Ash mention its more of the tuner that does the magic, not the ecu.

lol actually I will bite on 2nd thoughts... Yes i upgraded to Win7 rather fast, for my main PC.

but....

My media centre is actually running XP on 5yr old hardware… So is my laptop... Why you might ask?

Because it works perfectly for the job that it was designed for... and wait for it... My requirements ;)

Sorry to hijack a little GTRaddict - it's all relevant... kinda ;)

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
