Very different setup now Ken.

I wont start on Autonics faults but they sure have their share.

Did i mention Wolf has WA fastest 2 SR20s? and RB26.

Did I mention that the highest street hp ( Leewah) GTR in Oz runs Autronics and the highest Hp at Summernats did too...

If the wolf has a very different setup now then why isn't it mentioned on the website or info made avaliable to tuners. Once again I ask why the info is kept so *inhouse* when by sharing it around, it will benefit the product and the yourself as the WA agent.

Cheers

gtrken isnt the first time i have heard that the wolf rot idle is "fake"....

i have only HEARD i dont know so dont take this as fact.

so ken, what your saying is wolf only lowers and ups the revs to simulate rotational idle...it doesnt actually drop a cylinder??

people argue that it still cools the engine...but its hardly the point...

sounds good, but what about the people that actually need to cool their engine faster....

When you are sick of Rotational idle its nice to have real Idle control with valve openings for cranking and post start idle up and anti stall on decel. fast idle cold etc and only the PFC an Wolf do this, autronic is a very basic voltage based system so most shops only set idle with a srew driver.

Guess what we do cut injectors on rotational idle.

If Kym hates his Wolf we can plug the Nissan ECU in and send him to get something else.

Most shops have in house only secrets.

question for both ken and steve;

with both pfc and wolf can u buy addons for example antilag and have it hook up with the ecu and have both run right?

(by addons i mean, something not made by wolf or apexi, just a standalone type controller for antilag etc?)

cheers mike

No huge plans really - about 350rwhp is all :) Wolf is decided as Steve said :)

Pro's i've seen for Wolf that benefit me:

* No need to buy bigger injectors due to wolf's injection method

* No need for new MAFs cos wolf can use MAP

* Rotational Idle (wank factor)

* Antilag capability

* Laptop Tuneable

* Renowned good results

* Use Wolf Boost Control - Sell EBC

PowerFC Benefits for me:

* Wider range of Tuners

* Renowned good results also

* Cheaper price

* Easier Plug'n'Pray operation

Both have great features really, and it was a hard decision. I don't care for "This ECU is being used in the fastest SR/CA/RB in australia" Because mine is strictly road use :D

As Gav said - He chose the wolf due to the good results previously seen with it, and no doubt I will see good results too :)

Now comes the hard part - What turbo choice for good response with about 350rwhp?

I know a few people have awesome results with a T04 Hyrbid something-or-rather....

Thanks for the good/bad points guys, thankfully not too much bitching eh? :)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
