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.

    • Hopefully not shockproof. It does crappy things to good synchros.
    • Mark, please add to your shopping list a cask of wine.       For when the Hills Hoist is installed...
    • Cheers for the tips, I'll go with 50 mm around the side, I'm used to digging with hand tools, my prior occupation had me going well with hand tools and there's nothing that a breaker bar and a pair of gloves to protect my delicate hands can't fix, hopefully...  As my time now is free, if it takes a week to excavate that's not a issue
    • That's a pretty big job card assuming you're not planning on any machinery. I hope your dirt/rock ratio is not like ours, hand digging up here is very hard work I use the Mitre 10 in Sloane St or Gehl's Nursery where I can rather than Bunnings, but for bulk material everything (Goulburn Sand and Soil, Rocky Hill Sand and Soil) and is owned by Divalls (as is about 80% of town) so no point shopping around. Let me know if you need to borrow a ute or box trailer. BTW we also went with 7mm blue metal around the house, mostly for fire but also termites. You really need compacted road base under it then no more than about 50mm of rocks because otherwise they shift too much under foot. We also put corten edging to stop it spreading outside its area over time.
