I'm looking for a powerfc. Pref with a hand controller. Have been offered $1240 new. can anyone beat this? I don't mind if it's second hand as long as it works well.

Also, as I'm in tas I am limited to what workshops i can go to and I believe that practically none have a good knowledge in tuning them.

Therefore I think it would be wise to come over to melb and get it tuned.

Where/who is a kick ass workshop that really know how to tune the powerfc well in Melbourne?

Oh can anyone approximate tune costs? The car is running pretty shit so it would need a fair amount of tuning i reckon. Mods include turbosmart boost controller (7psi and 10psi but can change obviously), front mount 600x300x76, 3 inch cat back (i havn't checked to see if its turbo back but i doubt it)and turbosmart bov which I want to swap back to standard as I'm having some stalling issues.

Thanks for any help.

www.nengun.com and www.greenline.co.jp are the two cheapest sources for parts I know of, but I think they would be more than $1240 delivered (unless the exchange rate has changed it again). So I'd say $1240 with a hand controller is a damn good price :(

*EDIT: Alot of people seem to be having problems with stalling at low RPM with an atmo vent BOV. I'm guessing it runs so rich at low rpm it stalls. I believe skyrices run 100% duty cycle on the injectors when you back off? Is this true? If it is, does it happen at all rpm / boost pressures, or only above a certain point? Sorry, not trying to hijack

Jaff, We have a brand new FC for your car in stock. $1000 with no HC, but we have one to tune with, and can obviously source one for you if you need it.

Tuning is around $500 depending on any other vehicle issues, and we have successfully tuned plenty of them, and have full in-house dyno facilities.

Give us a call for any further info.

    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
    • Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
