Hi Paul,

Absolutely awesome FAQ!

Just a quick one, have an ECR33 PFC, does anyone know what the "VTC" stands for in the Sensor check? At first I thought it was a miss type of VCT, but now i don't think it is.

I'm running a PFC on my 95 ECR33 series 1 so no A-LSD issue. I took my car to the dyno today and could not correct a a/f issue so I did 6 runs and all sucked hard core. Anyone have good info they can pass to me on how to richen up my fuel or even better does anyone have any maps I can use for cross reference? I have basic mods on my car, large FMIC, intake pipes and filter, down pipe, hks actuator, stock turbo and boost with power fc, 3" exhaust, bov.

All I'm really looking to get is a good picture of what my fuel and timing maps should look like along with where my timing advance and fuel cor needs to be at. I've been doing trial and error but all that seemed to get me was running extremely lean and shit numbers on the dyno.

Any help

hi vandrel,

why dont you get just go and get it tuned properly - then you wont need to guess and trial and error

pay a local tuner a good $500 and have it done properly. lastly read the PFC FAQ under tuning and advanced operation

it covers AFR tuning and IGN timing tuninig as well using the hand controller on the powerfc

added rb20 injectors

fixed 'what are all the menu items' roadmap - just fixed up some text

updated How much does the unit cost?

big clean up of "What other optional parts are available for the PowerFC?"

updated "Is the PowerFC Pro Discontinued?"

updated "What's the Apexi D1 Limited Edition Hand Controller?"

updated "I have the older PowerFC that did not come with a hand controller can I buy a new hand controller separate and use that?"

updated "Does the PowerFC run the whole car or do I need controllers for... (Aircon, Lights, ABS etc...)"

updated "Does the PowerFC have limits?"

i would love to drop it at a local shop and have it tuned but no one locally near me knowns what a power fc is let alone how to tune it. i'm not even sure if there's anything within a reasonable drive from where i am that could tune a power fc

updated "where can i get my powerfc tuned"

updated "how do i install the djetro map sensor kit"

added "advanced datalogit tuning - a how to guide?" - this is excellent

hey mate,

Just wondering with rb20det running a rb26 computer, have you ever had troubles with the knock sensor?? I have rang nissan and a rb20 and rb26 knock sensor are differnt, but they cant tell me whether they are phsyically different or diferent insides? My car is knocking real bad, but its real random, does it sometimes but not others.. i can hold it on limiter and knock to 20, then other times i will rev to 5k and it will knock 70??

any ideas.

Im thinking of using both a Haltech E11v2 and a PFC.

Plan is to keep the PFC for the monitoring of all the sensors (knock,temps ect) with the handcontroller and use the Haltech for the performance side of things.Also enable me to run with no AFM.

I could buy the Haltech dash but at a cost of $1800 its alot of coin plus it does not monitor knock.

I think with this setup im getting the best out of both ECUs.My tuner says he can wire it up no probs.

What do you think?

hi,

you should chat with Cubes about this, he has working RB26 PFC on the RB20 and has noticed some difference with the knock sensors

send him a pm and hopefully he can clear it up

hi,

do you have money to burn? it sounds like it

you would be mad to run two ecu's at once, what on earth for? to achieve what?

just to get rid of the afm? do you understand all of the differences between afm and map ?

I believe i stated why in my first post.

The aim is to use the PFC for monitoring everything and use the Haltech to control the performance side of things.

I have both ECUs(PFC in the car ATM).

again - why would you want two ecu's to perform one job?

why not sell the haltech? or sell the PFC?

both ECU's are capable of running the car and making everything work - the PFC is probably better at it

Hey paul,

EDIT: missed that bit in the guide. think i have the wrong model hand controller.

I have a powerfc serial number: ECR33 010 - 1452

And hand controller number : FCC3 020 - 11909 (I dont have a rotary hand controller do I?)

I couldnt find any numbers similar to 415 - X001 etc and your link to nengun isnt valid anymore (nengun seem to have removed all apexi gear)

Thanks for any help,

Bill

Just tried an install of a PowerFC on my R32 GTR, followed the idle learn process, but I get a real lumpy sounding idle from the start and doesn't get any better, revs don't hunt, and when i attempt to take off in 1st gear, car shudders and goes to stall making it undrivable.

Initially i thought it was caused by incorrectly following the idle learn process, but I've tried reseting the PowerFC to defaults and re-learning the idle process 3 times without success.

-I don't have any sensors highlighted in Black on the hand controller.

-I have set the PowerFC to not use the Boost Controller Kit

-Set BNR32 AFMs

Car starts and idles, just doesnt idle smoothly

Once I plug in the factory ECU, car idles and runs perfect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :blush:

thats the correct PFC and hand controller for your car

FCC3 is generic multi version hand controller - it will work fine on ECR33 PFC

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
