Referring to the photo regarding to PFC settings 3. Does any 1 know why my Air Flow settings would have been changed from the default of 100% to 0.0% in all 8 boxes when I was

having every value as 0.0 means correct the load axis to 0

this will make the car run like ass and im surprised it starts

put them all back to 100.0

http://www.paulr33.com/powerfc-emulator/me...t_afm_ramp.html

the value as covered by the pfc hand controller emulator is correction scaling

this influences the final load axis the pfc uses to select IGN/INJ correction off the maps

I have an EL hand controller in my hot little hands.....however both my cars with PFC at at mechanics atm. I am 99% certain it is the same as the old controller, just coloured and ricier.

updated

added confirmation new EL hand controller supported models (all PFC's except for Toyota JZX100 Auto)

awaiting pics from duncan of new EL hand controller

OK, had a chance to have a look. All functions are effectively identical to the normal HC (contrast page is different but has the same purpose).

The firmware is at least a little smarter, my old HC used to come up blank when being used via a PS2 extension cable whereas the EL comes up with "communication error". But all the actual tuning and monitoring functions are the same as the regular HC.

anyway pics are pretty crappy (no interior light in the race car :thanks:)

attached:

serial number

version number screen

start up logo

el contrast control

even so...it is very ricey and I'm not sending it back :down:

question...

I have a pfc numbered: pfc rb25 9810-0049

Now i took the car to be tuned,but the tuners software wouldn't recognize the computer,said i would need a hand commander unit for him to tune it.

So i borrowed a mates commander which was off a pfc numbered:ecr33 and what ever numbers i cant remember,which worked fine.

Now im trying to buy my own commander,just brought one numbered: fcc nt9607-0464....BUT it doesn't work,just goes to the apexi screen and stops there,but from everything ive read,this unit should work...???

Could someone please point me in the right direction..

check your serial #

FCC NT should work on PFC RB25 powerfc

A hand controller from ECR33 serial # powerfc should NOT work on RB25 PFC serial # as they are different models

ie

PFC RB25 needs FCC N001 which is FCC NT

PFC ECR33 needs FCC X001 which is FCC2 or FCC3

you can buy the new EL version which will work

tryed the hand controller again,with the same result...

Pulled the cover off my pfc and stick on the chip was: fc rb25-2

So i dont know whats up other than buying the new el model..

very frustrating

if you said you used a mates hand controller and he has PFC ECR33 serial # then yours is labelled wrong

its the only thing that makes sense or its a non-std powerfc or something else is wrong

N001 or FCC NT should work on PFC RB25 XXXXXX

X001 or FCC3 should work on PFC ECR33 XXXXXX

the first two digits of the serial # is the build year

so yours was built in 1998 apparently

Has anyone had this type of problem before?? My 33GTR Powerfc Pro is not linking up with my handcontroller or FC datalogit. My GTR has a normal FC running at the moment so i know the hand controller and datalogit are fine, but the pro wont link up although starts the car and runs, abit rough as its a unknown tune from the prevous owner... When i purchased the pro 3years ago, i hooked it up and everything worked fine, i varified it was the PRO and let it sit ever since... Anyone had a similar issue??

i have a PFC pro have had no such drama's mine was brand new

maybe try a full INIT

Thanks for the reply madaz i cant get into the menu to init it unforuntely its funny it worked fine a few years back now nothing...

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
