Hi all,

need to know what version of software the 32 GTSt PFC is ( AP Engineering version)

Need to know, as I am looking at getting the FC-logit software and there site lists the FC-logit software as being the same for all FC operated R32/33/34 GTS's, but they don't know for sure without me giving them the software version

From what I have been told, look under etc->sw version, you will see for example RB25DET v3.11. I am not sure what the RB20 PFC version is as I won't have mine for another week, and need to find out ASAP

Thanks in advance,

Chris

many versions for all models. My R33 powerfc is 2.20E, while most are 5.13, 5.20 etc... Also, mine can be read with the GT-R datalogit software. But in the end we downloaded my rom, sent it to datalogit, then they sent back a dat file to use with my specific ECU. took 2 weeks to get the file. Hope that helps in some way.

Hi Chris, I am in Perth for 2 weeks so I can't just pop into the workshop and check the numbers for you. But both myself and Targa Tom are using Datalogit with our R32 GTST PFC's. I sent my PFC to Datalogit for 2 weeks last year and they used mine to write/check the software. Tell them to send you the same versions as they sent us.

Hope that helps :D

  • 2 weeks later...

Power FC has arrived, and I plugged it in last night - stupid thing is I forgot to take note of the version :Oops:

Will have another look tonight and send them a email to confirm

Chris

The plan is for me anyway is to go halves with a mate who has a R33 with a PFC, but not sure if the software will work on both yet., so we can both use the data logging at drags and track days etc

I am going to pop around to Tilbrooks over here, as they have the GTR and GTS software, if it works, then I will look at getting it.

For someone who has no idea about tuning, the software is pretty expensive, as you cannot make full use of it

If I had my own dyno and AFR meter, sure, it would be worth it.

Still tossing up who to tune it, Tilbrooks with the laptop software (if it works) or Boostworx via the hand controller.........

What does everyone reckon?

The FC-logit software has data logging functions, it also allows you to save various maps onto your PC and load them, rather than have to re-do the whole thing via the hand controller which takes ages. It also allows it to be tuned via a laptop rather than the hand controller, and there are a few more functions that you can access from what I can gather

Will look at both places when the time comes, but Shaun has produced the goods with so many cars of late its hard to ignore. Tilbrooks, well I have had the majority of my stuff done there in the past ( before the Mick Dynasty :P ) and Mark is a top bloke and looked after me in the past

Chris

Let me know how much it costs, im starting to get a little gun shy at the cost of it all, PFc + hand controller $1440, $300 for AFM and $500 for tune. So Total $2240 and no laptop software, im guessing with Datalogit all up close to 3K...

You don't NEED the Commander if you have a Datalogit system. But I like them anyway, because they save more than their cost on extra gauges and for quick diagnosis they are hard to beat. ;)

Yeah, after a short drive, I can see the knock sensor and water temp becoming quite handy ;) Great for a quick reference to see how everything is, would be good for a track day so you can see how hot your motor is running.

Pity it doesn't have air inlet temp as well, that would be just fantastic

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
