Hey! Some fresh up for the thread. I've developed adapter for Power FC that can feed all the ECUs data to your iOS/Android. If somebody still interesting in such a stuff in 2021, I can start

hi

the powerfc is modelled exactly of the std ecu for your car, that is, the pinouts match exactly, thats why its plug and play

so if you can find the pinout diagram for s15 SR20 then thats the same as the powerfc pin out

the powerfc S15 SR20det djetro will use the same AIT wire as the stock ecu on SR20 S15 ecu

Not sure if this is silly question, but what exactly is the base map (been messing around with an RB26 D-Jetro)

I have only ever really messed with RB25 Power FC's and have never seen the base map before.

Having trouble getting it to start, but it idles fine once its running so just wondering if the Base map might be the issue. Played with the Cranking ms etc and still doesnt want to start.

Hello,

Maybe I missed something or didn't search hard enough so please don't burn me.

I was looking around the market for a PFC for the HCR32 RB20det and can't find them anywhere. I've found alot of people saying that one was either discontinued or it was specially made from another company or something. I just wanted to know if the R33 RB25DET PFC/Controller would work on my Rb20?

I'm sure someone has already brought this up, but I guess my searching skills are not up to par :(

G'day all,

Can anyone with a R32 or R33 GTR running D-Jetro PFC help me out with their FC-Commander readings? Paul maybe you have come across this info in your years of PFC guru'ness?

Just want to know if (on rb26 d-jetro PFC):

1. the front map sensor is PIM1 and rear is PIM2, and

2. the front O2 sensor is O2-1 and rear is O2-2?

Easy to check, just disconnect the front one, switch ignition to on and then check sensors under ETC... should read 0.0v (ish) for the disconnected one.

Can check the O2 sensor as well by running car until it goes closed loop, switch off O2 feedback then disconnect front O2 sensor in engine bay. Check the sensors display and the disconnected one will read 0.04V (ish).

I have checked the ECU pinouts and wiring diagrams, and mine are wired in the right way (did pin to pin checks)... BUT on the FC-Commander display it shows that PIM2 is front map sensor and O2-2 is front O2 sensor. That would appear to be back to front?

Anyone who can spare the time to check theirs and post up their findings would be heaps appreciated. Can't find this info anywhere.

Cheers

I've been searching the web for an answer to this for a week, didnt find one in this thread either... Anyone that actually know?

Think I might have mixed up my front and rear O2 sensor, but since I cant find anything about them I can only confirm which one is 1 and 2.

Got the regular (non d-jetro) PFC

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure either, but since my wideband lambda says the car is running rich again (and I recently replaced the O2 sensors) I can't ignore the "what if" the front O2 sensor affects the 3 front injectors and same for the rear?

The front sensor reports the engine running lean (0.0V most of the time, jumps up to about 0.5V when I press the throttle and acceleration enrichment comes to play) and the rear one says it's running rich (about 0.8V most of the time).

O2 feedback is enabled, and O2 sensor reg is disabled. From what I understand the O2 reg setting is for compatibility with the older 12mm thread sensors, and I got the 18mm "new" sensors in my downpipes.

This leaves me with 2 options as far as I can see:

1. The front O2 sensor broke down after 1 week and about 200km driving

2. Something happened to the injector controller and one of the front injectors isn't opening as it should.

I've switched the 3 front and rear injectors to rule them out.

Thanks for your time, and you deserv a mental high five for your homepage!

EDIT on above:

Found the pinout, pin 29, front oxygen sensor, is the square one, called O2-1 in the PFC. Took my time to measure on the car.

Now I will try and switch the sensors around to rule out ECU breakdown before I send my new sensor back to australia...

My fc edit is not working anyone have software or solutions its saying rb25t1-d version 8.00 is not yet supported

hi, you would need to ask fc datalogit people to update their version of FC EDIt. I think you have the newly released RB25 Djetro which is not supported by FC Edit and the datalogit guys probably dont know about it yet

@paulr33 Can I get a copy of that PDF. Was not expecting the site to ever get removed. It would help immensely.

Anyone who wants to check the website can use "wayback machine". I found a lot of the information very helpfull, it'd be a real shame if the information gets lost.

Good looks man. That worked for me.

      Walbro 460 in r32 gtr

      I run 2 x 525 pumps on factory 8mm fuel lines     ... zero issues, staged of course    Your setup should work fine, all you need to do is find the restriction. A good aftermarket fuel regulator is always a good idea too. If it's not your regulator i'd be suspicious of your fuel tank breather and your tank pressurising. Next would be something with the fuel hat. Then blow out the fuel lines.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars- 180sx and S15

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Update time...... Been a crazy busy time and a bit of a change here. Sold my 370z Nismo as wasn't using it much and wanting a 86/brz so wife can have some fun at the track again also to help with funding the s15 build.  As said last time booked a cruise to NZ. The place is great, drank lots of craft beer, eat food and visited some amazing places   The plains of rohan Before we left I finally got an electrician booked and the shed now has power. Been so good being able to use it at night and not running things off a 20m extension lead. Got stuck in last weekend and reorganised it and cleaned up a lot of stuff. A few more things to tidy over time but really good to work on now. There's 13x 10a GPO, 3x 15a GPO, 4 high bay lights and 5 LED batons so will never have an issue seeing or powering tools. 437344198_7178721088892834_15829362501196293_n.mp4   Work has restarted on the s15. Removed the rear cradle so could pull the fuel tank and finish emptying the stale e85 thats now been sitting for almost 4 years 🤮 Cleaned it out and let it dry. Removed the old lift pump and have reinstalled a new lower pressure pierburg pump with all new hose and lowered the pump to get it nice and low in the sump of the tank. Also got a an old diff cover cleaned up, work has a soda blaster so made quick work of it. Going to put a 4.11 ratio diff in with a fresh rebuild thats been reshimmed for now before buying a good diff centre. And had a big change with going back to full time work. Opportunity came up to apply for a race mechanic job so applied and got it, been some big days so far but definitely enjoying it and getting to work on some cool stuff and with some great equipment. Learning a lot on proper car setup and suspension so will be valuable for the s15. I'll be part of the travelling team form next round too. This weekend will get the fuel tank and system in, need to buy a rollover valve and mount that. Get cradle in with the diff and axles then make a shopping list to buy to finish that off then start looking at cooling setup and plan intercooler pipe routing. Work will definitely be slow now on the car but will be to a higher standard.  The 180sx hasn't sold so may be heading out to Morgan Park labour day weekend for a charity event to have some fun been almost 6 months since I've driven it so will be take time to get comfortable again.

      I'll rent a fuel pressure tester soon and report back.

      It has a separate fused 10ga wire running from the battery to the relay in the trunk. 10ga on the ground also.

      Actually I did the fuel pump rewire 2 days after the issues started. Grinded away the paint and grounded it to the chassis behind the right panel in the trunk.
