Hey Ppls,

Previously I thought the extra throttle body type device was a traction control thing which shut when wheelspin was evident.

I have since been told that this is actually a Variable Intake Flow thingo which acts to increase airflow speed at low rpm by closing like a normal throttle body, and then opening up at high rpm to give bulk airflow.

Now, PowerFCs are suppose to control all features of the engine management, and I would assume that this is a very important part of the Neo 6 engine.

To those who know, does the R-34 PowerFC allow you to control the activity of this throttle body device........??

I would assume that you could adjust this similar to the way you can with the NVCS.

Having said that though, it might have a link to TPS in order to give the best results depending on a lot of other variables......

Anybody with any experience??

Cheers

BASS OUT

Are you talking about the bit that sits across the inside of the plenum? it's open at low revs, then closes at high revs...speeds up the flow of air at high RPM. If you disconnect it you'll notice the car runs like a dog from about 3200-5000ish,then picks up in the last bit of the range.

Yep, that's the bit.

Any definent answers??

when I disconnected the plug to it last night, the Engine Warning light came and on the Slip/TCS off light lit up and I took it for a drive.

I didn't really notice a lot of difference but the car was cold and I couldn't really give it a good thrashing.

The thing that is in front of the throttle body, is for the Traction Control System :D its what limits your revs when u are wheels spinning from the line, hence if you try to launch with the TCS on then you bog down quite bad. Hope it answers you question.

The Power Fc will control everything the same as in other skylines (in one way or another) the Neo engine is tuned for more power (more R&D) over the past models. The TCS Has a Seperate ECU for what it does and u cant change any items of how it behaves with the power fc nor do i know any companys that have Tuned it in one way or another.

I hope this is what u mean by your question. When the TCS is activated it is activated and if the car starts to slip highly then it kicks in just like i throttle body, like if you are on the pedal to the floor the TCS can ajust its throttle and limit your revs. If the system is off then the air flows how its meant to without any interuption.

My experience with the traction control is as follows.

Going around slight corners and nailing it, the car will pull lose power and then accelerate once grip is gained again.

But in the wet the car will drop spark and the engine will 'strobe' (for want of a better word) for a second and then accelerate, at which point traction will be lost again, and then it will strobe again.

I think maybe in moderate losses of traction, the blade might close, butin big ones it drops sparky and really pulles the reigns in.

If it only works for traction control, I wonder it there is any merit in using it as a variable intake diameter type device????

What makes you think it "drops sparky"? It just closes the valve completely starving the engine of air and probably cuts the fuel at the same time. If you cut spark it would backfire when you gave it back.

At it's most basic it just cuts power so you can get traction back and if you keep your foot down then it will spin the wheels again, thus restarting the whole process.

Abo Bob.

The sound it makes it identical to the sound that my car makes when misfiring on plugs that haven't been gapped properly.

That's why i made the assumption.

But I have been wrong before!!

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
