Need An Education In The Apexi Power Fc For Rb26

My RB26 came with a PowerFC when I purchased it, it did not come with a Commander. I have made several modifications to the engine and I have a few questions about the unit. I have switched to single Precision 6262 turbo, upgraded injectors (RC Engineering 720cc), cams (Tomei Poncams), cam gears, and almost every modification I could think of to reach 500+hp including Eagle rods and CP pistons and a new Ferrea valvetrain. I also scored a free Z32 MAF from a junkyard, but from what I've read, if I want to push more than 550, I'll need two.

I've read on PaulR33.com that it is an older unit. And that Nengun may be able to source me a new (old style) Commander. What I am unsure of is whether or not the unit is D-Jetro or L-Jetro. The motor came with upgraded twins, but no MAFs attached.

Is there anyway I can find out which version I have? I would like to know because it will determine how I finish my build and how my new wiring harness is built.

If it is L-Jetro, would I do better to just sell it off and look for a new management unit for my application?

If it's D-Jetro, what do I need to make it work? I'm assuming a MAP and IAT....anything else?

If it is D-Jetro, I should see some modifications to the motor already, correct? Everything looks pretty stock. No signs of an IAT tapped anywhere. Where would I source an IAT and MAP?

Any other help or info I may be missing would be greatly appreciated.

If it's of any importance, here is a link to the company that will be assembling my harness:

If you're a true PowerFC fanboy keep it, but as today's ECUs advance I would ditch the dinosaur ECU and move onto something newer that supports e-Flex interpolation between maps.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
