do you have the boost control kit?

when the PFC is data init'd to defaults the boost kit is turned on by default

this means, if yours was "reset" and you aren't using the boost kit the engine check light would remain on until you disable the boost control kit

the PFC has no limp mode or back out mode other than what the stock ECU has

and this is your typical if AFM is dead, cap rev limit at 2500rpm etc - really basic rev cuts and idle protection

it wont know if your fuel pump is being gay or leaking fuel etc

im not sure, it has a setting for boost control i think, but i have a HKS EVC as well, so not sure there.

BTW here are the mods:

RB26

Trust T78-33D

PowerFC w/Commander

HKS EVC5

Trust Manifold

Trust External Gate

Tomei Type-R Poncam

SARD Injectors

Adjustable type fuel regulator

HKS Pod Filters

Z32 twin AFM's

Trust Intercooler

Trust Oil Cooler

3-Layer Copper Radiator

Low temperature Thermostat

Turbo Back Exhaust

My god son get it to a tuner it's obvious that the tune is on default maps - and by the sounds of it if there is no fuel leak than you must be hosing those bores with fuel. If it's got an issue withtge maps not storing than ashas been said check the keep alive batteryinput into the ecu - if it's good get a new PFC.

gave it a basic settings change last night, car is now running fine (albeit with less power and tonnes of lag)

for anyone interested, these were the settings i was given:

Seq.turbo cont ... default = on ..change to OFF

Inj/AirF Warn. ...default =on...change to OFF

Knock Warning ... Default on .....Leave ON

O2 F/B control (O2 sensors) ..Default =on...Change Both to OFF

Idle-IG Cntrl....(O2 Regulation) Default =on.......Change to OFF

then turn my injectors (beleived to be 700cc) down to 75% from the factory 100%.

for some reason the first setting (seq turbo) wasnt there, instead the boost kit option was there. i did everything by the notes, and left the boost kit on just to see, got a huge fuel cut, and sent the knock to 30. turned the boost kit off, and it seems to have disappeared.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
