Hey dynamix, you'll need to clarify this further but i'm pretty sure you'll be able to use the standard RB25DET one because the main differences aren't going to be with the motor, they'll be to do with traction control etc. There shouldn't be a real lot of difference with the two motors and tuning of them so the standard power FC should run on that motor. Also if you're runing the standard loom then the standard PFC will plug straight in.

i'd say youd need an r34 power fc, but thats just my opinion. the neo6 has different timinig or something added over than standard rb25det which says to me u need a specific r34 powerfc, otherwise you could simply use an r33 stock ecu, which woudn't work im assuming, ask your local performance shop or ask who ever did the engine swap if you can contact them

its about the wiring loom actually.

I'd assume when they transplanted the engine, then also did the wiring loom to match it, unless the Neo6 has the same wiring as a R33 motor.

Be careful dude.

If you have a R34 ECU, then a PowerFC for a R34.

If you have a R33 ECU (which I don't think would work with a Neo6 cause they are slightly different) then get a R33 power FC.

afaik, the Neo engine has continuously variable valve timing, whereas the the R33 engine just has stepped adjustment. That would mean the R34 PFC would be the only way to go as the R33 PFC wouldn't know how to handle it.

You'd better check it up with a tuner though - I wouldn't want you to go and buy something based on what I said.

i've got the ROM reprogrammer for the NEC controller chip in the power FC. If you've already got a power FC I might be able to reflash it to the right one (will need to borrow a neo one too to get the dump of the software), and it should work, providing the ECU pinouts are still the same, and the only diff between the NEO PFC and the non NEO PFC is just the software on the PFC.

Or you could just buy a neo PFC and sell your current one :D

    • That could very well be the thermistor, but the ECU only sees Volts. VDO don't seem to provide a 0-5 volt curve, only the resistance curve.... (or line).
    • Yes. Probably, given that there is only access from the bottom end of it, go with a drill bit. Don't start too small. 7 or 8mm is probably the right size. You want something that can make a big enough hole to do some damage, but not so bit that it clashes with the steel or binds up and breaks your wrist. A slow speed is probably a good idea too. Once the rubber is destroyed, you then have to get the crush tube off the stud, which will be the whole heat/oil/cutting exercise all over again, but this time with the need to strictly avoid damaging the stud (any further than the corrosion might already have done.
    • We replaced the connector just because we could and it was still there, once we swapped the injectors around it stopped. The injectors were something I had thoughts of replacing even before I first started the engine and in hindsight I should have 
    • Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.
    • I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.
