Ok all you turbo whores...

I'm getting my AP Engineering PFC for my R32 GTS-T in the coming weeks and would like to know the before and after power figures for guys using this ECU.

Preferably results from guys that have had their stock ecu remapped and then opted to put in a PFC as this is my situation exactly. One would think the PFC would yield good results against the remap as the remap of the stocky is only a BASIC retune.

Go for gold.

its as good as the tuner

ie a remap done by an awesome tuner could make 200rwkw

a powerfc tune done by a poor tuner could make 50rwkw

its all down to the tuner, how well they tune it, and how quickly (this adds to cost)

a remap can make 500rwkw as can a powerfc as can a motec, as can a autotronic etc

no ecu is limited to a given power level, any one that says ECU XYZ will make more power, either cant tune it properly or is lying

if the car is tuned properly then there should be bugger all different in max rwkw between a well done remap and a powerfc tune

but back to your original question if it was just a basic remap ie remove speed cut and boost cut

for a typical r33 gtst it might make 170/180rwkw, with a powerfc it might make 200rwkw

again this assumptions on a basic tune and an r33, yours is a 32 so it would be different

surely it would come down to the person who tunes them...

eg.

I had a remap done by the god of remaps and then install a PFC tuned by fred at fred's mech repairs and there was little difference, I would not waste my money again in PFC

or

I had a remap done by fred's mech repairs and then install a PFC tuned by Unique Autosports and the difference was amazingly huge.... remaps suck ass

so real world experience will tell you stuff all IMO, personally PFC will shit all over a remap but Im looking at it from the point of view of future capability of the ECU as well...

I dont think anyone will be able to give you a rough power figure if they dont know your mods :P

Yeah I was a bit lazy wasn't I?

I've got 230.3 kW on 16 psi and the dyno sheet is below...

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
