picked up PFC for $800 secondhand for my old 32 GTR about 3 years ago, got a PFC for the S14 new from japan delivered for $1250 about 2 years ago.

surely it can't go up in price.

sif run a PFC these days anyways when there's other ECU's with better sampling, non proprietary interfaces and allowance for many more ancillary switches and signals, including OBD emulation.

ecr33 gtst are out of production, but gtr arent. this was a year or so ago when apexi went bust

apexi isn't bankrupt. they're still carrying out business as usual. some smart sellers have used this excuse to bump up prices.

Apexi did reshuffle their powerFC lineup though. They relegated units for engines that were 10 years out of production to the Apex Engineering line, and only kept the ones newer than 10 years (hence RB26, SR20, RB25 Neo) in stock and available off the shelf. The older units are still available, but as special order at minimal extra cost.

just cos your agent can't be arsed putting in that order and then getting it to you, does not mean that it's not available or should be much more expensive.

damn straight.... if i was buying right now i'd go a vipec.... WANT... CYCLE... IDLE....

yeah why is it that ECR33 PFC more expensive than BCNR33 PFC ?

im guessing demand?

NEC stopped producing the chip used in the 25det unit

ecr33 gtst are out of production, but gtr arent. this was a year or so ago when apexi went bust

no... it was before that happened... see above :rofl2:

for stealth/price nistune is king

for functionality/value vipec

for street cred - motec

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
