So much garbage on here once again with people putting shit on the power fc!

If anyone had a bad experience with a power fc it's because there tuner is SHIT.

It's an ECU it does what it's told

You've missed the point totally here mate.

Second hand FC = $700 with heckers hand controller

Nismo AFM's = $700

Thats $1400, more if you want to buy the ECU new.

Yes it will do the job. However, if you want to do something basic like a Flex tune you cant do it.

OR you could buy something like a plug in Link G4 for a few hundred more and be able to do heaps more with it.

There is "cheap" and there is "value". They are not the same sometimes. A Power FC in 2016 is not a "value" option.

You don't buy a box of rotten banana's for $1. Why? You can't do anything with the bloody things!

So Nistune is good with big injectors? A mate had trouble with his 330rwkw SR setup and tuner kept blaming Nistune and the 2000cc injectors (think they were 2000s)

No idea if it was fact or just blaming as it was the easiest escape goat. He gave up on cars and being raped by all the Sydney experts so sold the car.

$700 for a second hand D-Jetro with all accessories.... Pretty good value I recon.

What does it cost to intsall (if paying a workshop to pull off intake plenum and put the MAP sensors where they should be)?

LOL.. did you see my forsale thread on Driftsales?

Sold it in 3 days.. got an adaptronic for $650.. win x 10 with $50 for beer

PFC purchase, install and tune was on par with the cost of selling my M84 with the loom and accessories that I didn't need anymore.

And no more T T T T Timing jitter.

If I wanted to keep the haltec or M84 I would have spent another 2k for a crank trigger.

So massive saving and car runs the best it ever has.

And have my $350 Innovate SCG1 looking after boost and AFRs which cuts boost if I go lean, and has a 5V output to supply signal to FC edit software if I want to log it all.

Can't see a problem at all TBH

Nistune will drive big injectors just fine. I'm not sure that 2000cc injectors count though. They are more like open fire hydrants.

At ~330rwkW that SR20 really didn't need such big injectors. 1400cc hoses would probably have done it. And regardless of what ECU, once you start getting to injectors that size you really need to consider whether staging them makes more sense rather than asking something big and crude to give you a reasonable idle and part throttle cruise as well.

ID 2000's idle and drive 10 times better than Sard 800's. That's on the same car, same ECU and tuner. Actually two cars with very similar setups.

were they CNG injectors? if so.. partly why :)

I have no issues with Nistune with stock to 1250cc injectors on 98 or E85... easiest ECU to get shit to boogie... also TP Cut.. very goose, PowerFC no haz.

I bought my power fc for $400 with controller vs haltech $2100 new without additional additional sensors.

Flex is the ONLY reason i went haltech

+ wideband 02 feedback

+ 2-step, launch

+ flex

+ engine protection

+ no MAF

+ hectic software

+ no need for data logit box shit

+ usb plug wooooo, serial is homo

+ much much more, we'll even included a set of steak knives.

Here's your ID 2000s!

very non linear fuel delivery curve under 1.5 milliseconds which is why ID recommend the 1300cc5c028e760f3690e2b7bb3c46d6dde2c9.jpg

Pull up all the colourful graphs you want mate. I'm talking from sitting in the car driving the bloody thing!

By no means we're they perfect but they were a shitload better than those Sard 800 fluro green tipped nuggets!

Yeah yeah let's not mislead people once again.

you're probably talking about E85 only then which I would then believe you.

because the compressed natural gas injectors do actually atomize really well and you're using a whole lot more Duty cycle being that you are on E85.

I said before PETROL it will not work and they will not work on PETROL and the graph shows that, which is what you do.

you told me you never run on petrol which is why you don't know the difference.

Sigh.

You have no idea at what point in the life the cars were at.

I do not run the car on petrol much, yes. This was years ago (2010-2011).

Anyway, whatever.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
