Ah yes indeed we do. And conveniently, there is also a open speed limit section also.

In that case, might have to move on the nistune to someone with access to a tuner or the software

We pulled 3 degrees timing out of entire base map apart from the first 2 rows. Roughly how much fuel needs to be pulled out to get in running a bit cleaner?

I can get another power fc map from another car here with similar mods, just more boost than I plan to run, for comparison but it's a d-jetro version and mine is l-jetro, will that matter?

For wideband, what's the best way to go? I don't want a permanent gauge in my car but want to be able to hook up to data logit so we can set target afr's and tune to them. Can I turn o2 feedback off and put a wideband sensor in one of the stock locations or should I have a bung welded into a decat pipe?

The load scale in a MAP based ECU and the load scale in an AFM based ECU bear no relationship to one another. So the short answer to you rquestion ref using a D-Jetro map in yours in, no.

The clue is in the square root relationship between pressure and flow.

power fc = fail

15 year old ECU for your car.. no knock sensing except for dicky warning light you won't see. good luck.

you should support an aussie company and buy an adaptronic or a haltech. much better products, engine protection functions that go into limp mode if your fuel pump fails etc. not like a PFC that will happily grenade your engine if you don't see the light in time.

And for those knocking the power fc, I live in Alice Springs and nobody tunes anything out here. One guy has data logit so I am forced to utilize what's available.

I would love to run a more modern ecu, however the cost of sending the car away for tuning would cost more than the ecu itself, then have to pay for tuning on top. Even if I could fly someone here it would be cheaper than sending the car away, but there isn't access to a dyno here so everything has to be road tuned. On top of this, I don't have any of the equipment to tune it myself, not do I feel confident enough to start. Literally stuck between the rock and a hard place.

If you can tune a PowerFC successfully you can tune anything.

Adaptronic, Haltech, ViPec, Megasquirt - > all don't need fancy boxes and you don't need fancy licenses.. just plug up yoru USB and off you go

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
