Hi i would like to know if anyone has tried the rb25det D-jetro Power FC as yet. (R33 RB25DET)

1. what is the MAP sensor limits 1 2 3 bars?

2. Can i still use the AFM if needed.

3. Is there launch control.

4. Can the old Data logger work with it. or software update needed??

5. what do you guys think about it.????

thanks for your time and consideration.

He was asking if it was the one that Nengun are advertising. I was going to purchase the same one, but Callan explained to me what it was and made it a bit weary.

::EDIT::

Yeah they do, Scradly... Check it out on the Nengun website.

I have always love the power FC just because it’s a vehicle specific stand alone, and easy to tune. I have Motec and Haltech PS2000 ecu's, but want the D-jetro model power FC. I tune them myself.

yes mate the one from neugun. they on ebay to, and poping up all over slowly.

were is Paulr33 he is a Power FC guru. lol

come on mate keep it comeing.

I was asking so I wasn't providing answers for

something different..........

As far as I remember its a 2 bar map sensor

There is no launch control

You can use afm if you want

No idea but fc edit should work

They are a re-flashed 26 d-jetro and if you do the data init you have to send it back to nengun so they can re-flash it. Other then that you get everything to make it work on a 25 with map and IAT

That is interesting Mate, talk about a turn off. I got a rb26 Power fc to work on a rb25 and i had to use a MSD trigger switch to retain the VTC. But that was on a L-jetro. I also have a D-jetro rb26 power fc. now i'm woundering if i should try to make that work insted. I hacked a extenstion harness that goes inbetween the ecu and the factory harness. I should still have the harness.

Do you know it the unit will have VTC, even after reflashing it. ?

if its a 2 bar map is it x 2???

i see a video on youtube by nugum, you can check it out.

thanks a million for the info. anyone else. Were is the guru paul R33 he has to update the Power FAQ with this unit. lol

Paul probably doesn't know much more then what I've told you as I dont think anyone who has bought one has put the information to paul or put it in a public forum.

I looked for answers and nearly bought one and was going to provide these answers to Paul but I didn't get a tax return that year so didn't worry about it.

Thanks mate i will do the same, having APEXI reflash a gtr power fc is ok with me, as long as they stand by their name. The only thing i want to conform is if the, fact that if you reinitialize it, I will have to send it back to APEXI to reprogram??? This makes no sense in my head, and BE Apexi they wouldn’t do that because it just simply makes no sense as to many units will be sitting in their offices. If you listen to the video, he mentioned that people mess up the settings and send it back, and all they most of the time do is reinitialize it.

will update as soon as i kill The old FC reasults, and unit arrives.

I told you, you have to send it to Nengun to get reflashed, not Apexi.

Nengun reflash it to work

It's not a problem as long as you dont do data init. There's no need to do it as long as it stays on the same car and the idle learn is done correct first time

only a 2 bar map sensor... so one bar of boost and your back to old limiting issues of the L anyway...

what a way to waste your cash... just get a decent ecu and run 2 fuel maps at least then you can have a 3 bar map sensor.

1. what is the MAP sensor limits 1 2 3 bars?

the apexi standard map sensor is a 3 bar map sensor. but dont be fooled. this doesnt mean you can run 3 bar boost.

map sensors (all not just apexi's one) are rated in total pressure and not positive pressure or "boost"

3 bar map sensor means -1kgcm2 for vacuum and +2 bar for positive pressure

so if you want to run more than 2 bar boost using the apexi kit you need to change the map sensor and recale it using datalogit

2. Can i still use the AFM if needed.

no you cant. models are fixed. ljetro is afm, djetro is map. you cant mix and match or change

3. Is there launch control.

no there is not

4. Can the old Data logger work with it. or software update needed??

yes datalogit will work

5. what do you guys think about it.????

same as ljetro but with map sensor input instead of airflow meter

some tuners swear by apexi djetro and others hate it with passion

ive heard more good stories and tuners talking good about it vs those talking bad

the main thing that is crucial is the installation, dont f**k with the install or be a spaz

read the instructions and install it as per how apexi intended it to be installed

most issues come back to how its installed

sorry and just to check also is the an APEXI legit product or a special nengun release?

i always questioned this and it wasnt clear

IF its a legit APEXI release you should be able to DATA INIT when ever you like

If its a non legit release and you have to send it back when you want do DATA INIT each time I would advise caution with this product

this sounds worrying and i would not purchase this. DATA INIT can help to fix f**ked idle and other issues

there should be no reason a legit Apexi purcahse requires re-send to supplier to do DATA INIT

youve been warned and i would question this

this sounds like its a BCNR33 powerfc djetro with a special remap to make it work on ECR33

vs a legit ECR33 powerfc djetro version where you can DATA INIT as much as you like

it doesnt make sense because DATA INIT would load from its nvram

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
