But getting a decent ECU, knowing how it (and your car) works to me is really a minimum requirement. I couldn't go back nor could I ever be happy not knowing, or recommending anything less. Anything less is "probably ok, maybe"

If only you had of applied the same to the rest of the parts! :P

My haltech does all sorts of terrible things, like start first time everytime, drives better then it ever has, gets great fuel economy even on e85, makes good power reliably and has rock solid ignition timing due to the ability to run a crank trigger

Yep what a shit ecu

Brett this point is invalid because any other ECU can do this just fine, it's dependent on the tuner entirely. This is just confirmation bias.

Is the Power FC CAN Bus compatible?

I'm going to guess no. Not everyone has a need for CAN Bus compatibility but it's a deal breaker for me.

I dont think the Autronics do CAN easily, but race technology have some dashes that plug straight in no wakkas. I was pretty pleased with that.

As nice as CAN is its also just one more way haltech and motec can add additional zeros to your invoice.

For a budget No Frills ECU, Adaptronic can integrate to a variety of dashes out there via the serial port.

I kind of have my eyes set on the Dash2 one day, but after a few extra important things such as a cage and fixed bucket seat.

I did :(

True and it kind of locks you into that one thing but gosh damn if I wasn't happy to have my wideband setup and ready to go in about two actual minutes with no wiring. With the amount of work that goes into cars, seeing something literally plug and play and just work was pretty damn sweet for the extra $15 it cost :P

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
