Hey guys i am about to book the car in to get one just wondering if anyone has one and can comment on how they like it dislike it? i know a lot come down to tuner but i am just tossing up between this and the autronic SM4 ??

RB26

Blitz 660R turbo

stock intercooler

exhaust

256 cams

looking for a nice streetable setup, hence i was looking at the wide band with the haltech if i go for that ?

I only trust the STD ecu and PFC when using the STD cas if you want a 1 deg sensitive control. On most setups I'll try using the cas but if I get too much timing scatter I go to a crank trigger setup. As for sm4 vs haltech there is no comparison the autronic has been a better system for years.

i dont like Haltech after finding out that the ecu doesn't deal with knock. And in my opinion knock is one major part of tuning. In my case i tune on my own. i dont like the idea that i have to buy a knock microphone now.

So go with Power fc mate better and easier to tune. D-jetro or L-jetro

hope i helped

Well you know the turbo setup as well trent :) would you say they are on par with each other? i just dont want to fork out and then a new ecu come out!!

HAHA its coming together hey? good to see! keep us updated :)

If you do decide on the PFC d-jet we have i will leave the tune in it to give you a starting point.

Thanks trent, yep trying to have it ready for power cruise :) I am not looking forward to pulling twins off though :P

Will the djet run twin maps as I want to change from 98 to e85 there isnt any 85 for 4 hours if I drive home so twin maps is a must :) this was why I was looking at haltech autronic, will the autronic run a wide band ? I assume so ?

You cant really run dual maps with the djet - not without datalogit and a laptop. I know it may sound pretty crude but on some of the xr6t e85 tunes I've done remotely I just add 28% extra fuel and 6degree more timing - this is as long as I know the 98oct tune was correct and I will generally get within 1% of my desired fuelling. You could probably do the same with the djet by adding global corrections to the 98Oct tune.

The autronic will accept pretty much all narrow and wide band sensors available - apart from ford narrowband 3V. You can also autotune.

Does anyone know if Autronic have made any progress toward calibrating the sm4 knock control module for rb's? I was told they were doing the calibrations in March last year but no word since...

I'm pretty sure that P-FC's don't have any knock control either, well if you don't count flashing a light as knock control.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
