has anyone found out if this is actually possible with the r33 rb25det pfc on the r32 rb20det??? I'd love to know if its true or myth!

Cheers

I have the datalogit software for RB25det which covers the following PFC's

RB20DET

RB25DET

RB251PRO

The interface and software are the same but the maps are not. So if you think you can just plug it in and away you go you would be wrong. You will need the default map to start with in a RB20DET which would be different to the Default map for a RB25DET

I may test this out soon ppls.

The RB30DET won't run on the stock RB20DET maps, I assume this is due to the head being a RB25 (bigger valves/ports etc).

From what I've heard the RB25DET ECU will run the RB30DET with no problems.

All I have to do now is try to find some one with a R33 PowerFC willing to do the test.

Does that mean it would be fine, as long as you tuned it carefully straight away?

If true, this would be great news, as the R32 Gtst PFC is still worth about $2000 new. (compared to R33 at about $1100)

Id say you will need the default's which the RB20DET PFC comes with for it to work. There is more to a PFC than just Ign & Inj map's. If we can get a R32 PFC on a datalogit laptop and then save the default's and use them in a R33 PFC on a R32 in theory this should work. Although if you ever needed to do a PFC reset the maps would default back to R33.

Be interested to see if SK has anything to add to this thread.

I was looking on nengun and greenline they're about 1300-1400approx landed. Thats the AP engineering model (low impedence injectors only), only the ECU, no hand controller.

But if the r33 works, it makes things heaps easier, since theres more floatin around.

If you look at the pins on the R33 ECU a few of them dont match the R32 wiring, so there is definitely a need to fiddle with wiring to get it working. If it woks, but i suspect it can be made to work, but not positive

Or in this case troy

I guess that means the ECU's have different looms and I would'nt fark with it.. If you blow a PFC, $2000 for the specific model would of seemed a sweet deal

I had a hang up that i wanted to use the Pro which isnt available with the R32 so looked into it.

But some things to consider,

For:

- injectors same impedence

- coil packs are interchangeable between engines

- both from the same RB family

However:

- its a big assumption to assume that things like water temp, idle control valves etc are all 0-5V or same resistances and therefore compatible

- some of the injector pins dont match up in the plugs but majority of wires do.

If an R33 owner went RB30 it would be interesting to see them have a play with a re-mappable R32 ECU in their car, if a bit of a play means you can tune the RB20 ecu to run it then i would be more confident in plugging in the $1500 Pfc into an R32 and seeing what works/how it works

hehe Series 1 R33's used a PTU to control ignition, series 1.5 and Series 2 had the PTU included in the ECU... now... RB20's don't have VVT like later model RB25's... do the maths, its not simple just plugging in a Rb25 Power FC.

However, if one was to trick the power FC into thinkiing it was running a really early model RB25DET then that should work just fine. End result... its a lot easier to find and buy an AP engineering power fc anyways.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
