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?

im outa here.....wooshhh!!!

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 ;)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
