Hi all I am having trouble when installing my power fc jetro into my vl Commodore the car itself is fitted with a Rb25det neo but is is a R33 series 1 loom injecters ecu ect. For the last 2 year the car an conversion has run flawlessly. Now recently I Hav tried to install a Apexi power fc jetro it is the R33 Rb25 model I Hav actually tried two different power fc jetro's and both of them are getting the same result nothing will power up the fuel pump will not turn on an the hand controller will not light up. Wan I reinstall the standard R33 ecu the car start straight up. I will list what mods the engine already has

Custom micks metal craft forward facing plenum

6 boost top mount manifold

Holset hx35 turbo

45mm turbonetics wastgate

3 inch exhaust

Big front mount intercooler

850 denso injectors

Splitfire coils

Sard fpr

044 and 040 Bosch fuel pumps

My questions are should the power fc be plug an play considering I Hav tried two different jetro's. Is there specific wiring that must be hooked up to run the power fc as on my wiring loom off the computer I Hav wiring that is not connected. Should I run a separate earth to the power fc I really am lost for idears an anyones help will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance...

(Finally we have seen on a few skylines that the car works fine with the stock ecu but not the with PowerFC. It has been traced back to a missing fuse. The missing fuse is on the left side in the R33 GTST and its at position #7. According to the diagram it is Engine Control. Somehow the stock ecu works if this fuse is missing but the PowerFC doesn't

See the diagram here for "Engine Control" which is a 10AMP). Ok so this section popped out to me can someone confirm which pin out is for the 'engine 'ccontrol' as when I click to see the diagram is says the page is no longer available

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
