PowerFC vs PowerFC D-Jetro

Is there any advantage to get the D-Jetro version instead of the plain jane stuff? I know I can go toss the AFM's out with MAP sensors with the D-Jetro. The car is still running the stock pair of turbo.

The only thing I can see is, I can go sell my Z32 AFM's to recoup the money spent on the PowerFC D-Jetro.

Thanks.

Wouldn't bother.

Unless you are chasing obscene amounts of power where the 90mm Q45 infinity AFM's are too small, keep the AFM's and just buy the normal PowerFC.

Why buck the system. Many more people can tune them with AFMs.

In my case I wish I got a D-Jetro instead of the normal Power FC. Apparently my combination of cams, turbos & custom intake resulted in "pulsing" of air through the AFMs making the car undriveable on light throttle settings (2 volt swings on the afms). This never would have presented a problem with a D-Jetro although my case is probably a more uncommon problem.

Like I've said before, the only reason was, it only cost slightly more for the D-Jetro AND the MAP sensor kit and at the end, I could ditch my Z32 AFM and sell it which works out to be cheaper than buying the normal kit.

slapper - how difficult was it to tune your car may I ask? How long did it took?

go_nuts - the tuner is having to make up a balance pipe between the 2 afms which he is doing next week, it will go back for a second attempt at tuning then, will keep you posted. In hindsight, the cost & wasted time with the Power FC was not worth it, I should have gone a Motec M600.

We have some wild GTRs running Wolf plug ins with no MAP sensor problems so the D-j PFC will be fine. Do you have a compressor surge problem or have you removed the factory BOVs?

Steve, its a rapid succession of chuff-chuff type noises coming out the compressor side of the turbos that only happens on light throttle - it is running a GReddy Type R BOV that is vented to the atmosphere.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
