Hello I'm a new member wanting to purchase an apexi pfc among other things. Does anyone know the differences between the jetro and race versions? I saw both these on a website but they wrote the same things about them - pretty general. Also I saw someone writing about the A.P engineering versions of them?

I also am interested in getting electronic boost control and am interested in the Apexi one - you can plug it into the computer. Has anyone used on of these?

Thanks - just don't want to buy the wrong thing

With the Jetro version you don't have to run an air flow meter (AFM) and their are certain features that are used to make sure your car is safe on the racing versions, eg boost cut, rev limmiter. - they use different types of cuts eg: ignition instead of fuel and so on. If you get what i mean.

We have 4 cars with "standard" Power FC's with boost control kits, 2 X GTR race cars 1 X GTST race car and 1 X R34 GTT road car. They work perfectly, the cars drive "nice" like the standard ECU. There are plenty of threads on this subject, do a search and you will find all the info you need.

Thanks for the replies!

I hadlook on the searches - I'm new to this and they were great.

Sorry - just a couple more q's.

Is it an option on the jetro version to run AFM's as well or do you have to get rid of it straight away? If you can still run AFM's to start with it sounds like the one to get.

Do you recommend using the electronic boost controller with the standard turbo?

I believe it should increase torque as you have quote me if I'm wrong total control of the wastegate?

Thanks again!

I honestly don't know, I have never used a DJetro version. All the cars with them I have seen, use map sensors, not AFM's.

I have used the PFC Boost control kit with all sorts of turbos, singles and twins. It enables you to hold the wastegate shut until you reach the target boost, like other electronic boost controllers and the twin valve manual controllers. So it enables more boost, that means more torque and it will enable the boost to come on as early as the turbo will allow. Does that answer your question?

:D

Yeah thanks! I'm going on nengun to order one now. Doubt if I'll ever go over 300RWKW anyway so I'll just get the 'normal' apexi. But then again it's so easy to get use to power! I'm in the UK at the moment studying yacht engineering and won't be home until x-mas, but just purchasing parts for my car in the meantime. Will dyno the car the month I'm home - can't wait! Obviously I'm quite a distance away from any tuners for advise! I didn't realise there was different types of Apexis until I seriously started looking for one. Anyway, thanks again for the help and advise!

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
