Just had car fully checked and everything seems fine from spark to fuel.

Until I checked to see my power fc inside and looked like this.

Car is still hunting bad on idle and wont drive past 2500/3000rpm and runs pretty horrible with no power.

Most likely this is the cause as have changed just about everything.

Would anyone let me borrow for 5 minutes there power fc to test so I no for sure it is the problem, but I guess it still needs replacing by the looks of it lol

What do you guys think.

Holy Shit, I'm suprised it's driveable at all

Yes I'd say that is your problem. Do you recall anything that may have done this (bridging plugs etc)? Probably just the Power FC crying enough over age but if it could be something that has caused it on your car, then you need to fix that before replacing the ECU or it will happen again

I bought it few years ago and it had water in it and didn't no much then and as when I hooked it up it made a choooof sound and smoke came out and didn't make much of it back then so really forgot about it.

It ran ok till now but I just bought a adaptronic ecu all hooked up with a tune in it similar to my set up and still done it and I found the problem injector 5.

As soon as I disconnect it does nothing in engine sound at this point as all other injectors are fine as they change the engine sound when I disconnect the plugs from them,but sometimes it might start working but for now that's it.

Must be cause I ran the injectors real hard on e85 pushing 330rkw and think there 550cc.

Either blocked or leaking injector 5 but there's really nothing more but that as I changed every thing and this problem got worse after e85.

Still needed to change the ecu no matter Wat the outcome was as that PFC was ftt up and guy ripped me off which was not nice for $900

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
