Yeh I got that.

But - to use the line of the peoples moderators - do you really think that this hasn't been asked before in the 7 years this site has been operating? There is LOADS of information on here, I could read for DAYS about ECU's and their pro's/con's/peoples opinions.

Just search! I mean, you've waited what, 22 minutes to get these replies from myself or others? That's 22 minutes of your life that you will never get back, my good sir. 22 minutes that could have been spent educating yourself on your choices of ECU with the vast pool of information on here.

I looked for about 2 years for one - Even went down the path of making the RB26 ECU run the RB25DET and RB20DET, so I could get a powerfc PRO for a GTR into my car. Turned out that I was scammed, and it was a standard GTR Powerfc inside a case with powerfc pro markings.

haha here is the old thread where I rewired a small harness to make the RB26 ECU work on the RB25, and RB20. Did it for a couple of mates that had RB20s.

Even hard modded a RB26 D-Jetro ECU to run my mates RB20.

Fark... those were the good old days.

I was looking at those threads only yesterday

I swapped the pfc for the pro with a bloke in Perth who had it in a Nissan patrol of all things

Then sold it too a bloke in Sydney.

We had dramas with it talking to FC edit due to the old firmware in the pro

But it served me well

Yeah nothing but a 2-step and hard cut. Not worth specifically going out to find one when a simple gizmo 2 step or bee-r work just as well

Have you seen many jza70 pfc's in your travels? Sucks that each different 1jz car had different ecu plugs except for some jzx90s had the same as the a70 supra

I tried the Gizzmo one, and it was pretty shit.... Was too hard to hook up switches etc and was a bitch to wire up.

Haven't seen any Toyota PowerFCs at all actually. I can have a look next time I am in Japan if you like? might be a few months though.

Keep an eye on ebay - Interesting place to find weird stuff, lol.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
