Hi guys after any information on what computer i should use to support 400kw+ for my rb26dett build currently using a nistune ecu. Also running on pump fuel.

Potential use for track drag and drift.

Basic Mods list

9.0:1 cp pistons

Gt2860-5×2

720cc injectors

Twin 044

Twin z32 afm

Bah Piggaz, theres nothing wrong with a PowerFC. It does the job just like any other ECU.

But why would you consider a PowerFC when you already have Nistune? Makes no sense to take out powerful OEM ECU with tuneability and replace with less powerful vintage ECU with the same requirement for AFMs.

There is everything wrong with it when you have something in there already that will do the job. It's a sideways step. If you're going to change something, change it for the better.

While you're right, I chimed in saying PowerFC because everyone else was saying other brand name ECUs that he didn't need, PowerFC is more on his level. PowerFC > Nistune anyway. They're both basic budget ECUs, but they'll both do the job.

Lol.

Nistune can do way more than a power fc.

The power fc is shiet. I was running one and got rid of it for a haltech. Pfc not even worth the metal they are made from.

What makes you say that? Mine's been tuned on Nistune and on a PFC, both drove just fine. Was tracked with the PFC with zero issues, made 400kw. Definitely more down to the tuner than it is the ECU.

I have a PFC in my 32 and the original tuner who is one of the most well known tuners in Sydney did a farkin horrible job of tuning it and I wanted to bin it then gave it to Scott@Insight and now it drives better then the stock one ever did

TL;DR, PFC requires a better then good tuner

EmTron > Haltech anyday of the week

^^ This. I'm not saying Haltech is shit, I'm not saying Nistune is shit, I'm not saying PFC is better than all of those combined. I'm saying there is nothing wrong with all of those options provided you have the right tuner. To say PowerFC is shit because its old is naive, 8 times out of 10 its more than anyone on this website needs, we're not all running 800kw drag cars where we need every sensor ever conceived and an ECU to shut everything down because it broke a ringland at 8000rpm while making that 800kw.

Don't need to spend 2k on an ECU to suit the "drive around town and maybe a track day a couple of times a year" application.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
