I think Croydons are the only ones in Australia with the genuine PFC Excel software, I have not seen any differences in the software for DJ's. We use the various versions of Datalogit and they seems to work OK as well. You just get a couple of extra options on the set up. Amybe pop over to www.fc-datalogit.com and ask a few questions about DJ's and software versions.

We get PFC's from Nengun, never had a problem buying stuff from them :D

so if i talk to nengun can i just ask for the power d-jetro when ordering a pfc .... and can it be tuned through the hc or does it only interface with a computer. SK are you saying you cant see why the croydon software wouldnt work???? I have talked with datalogic and they believe there software will support the d-jetro but i dont really want to buy the computer then fork out $550 for the software if i can do it through the hand controller!!!

The Commander tunes all PFC's as far as fuel and igition mapping is concerned. Just that some of the less used menu items aren't accessible via the Commander (same as all PFC's) and need the PC software to get at them.

The real question here is, why do you think you need a DJ in lieu of a standard PFC? :D

the reason im going for that is i originally had lined up a microtech ltx12 but they where going to custom build one for me with a few extra features such as cdi and more outputs but judging on their previous form i really cant wait a year, so i want to go the PFC DJ because previously i have had some bad experience with my large single turbo and a greedy type r blow off valve of reversion back through the airflow meters.i have tested this and i was seeing voltage swings of up to 3volts in the wrong direction causing over riching issues in between gear changes at medium throttle when the blow off valve was only slightly opening. I believe that running a map sensored computer will eliminate all my reversion problems that why i have choosen it.

My suggestion would always be to use AFM's wherever possible, they are simply the best method for accurately sensing airflow into the engine and therefore tuning it. There are other ways to overcome reversion, for example HKS (and others) make a simple voltage modifier that holds the AFM voltage solid during gearchanges (and sharp back off). Thus the AFM doesn't report the double airflow to the ECU. The HKS unit is called a EIDS (Electronic Idle Stabiliser) they also have a EIDS Pro (Electronic Idle stabiliser Pro) but I haven't seen one of those in operation yet.

Other, more simpler, methods are to use a decent plumb back BOV (such as the standard GTR ones). Generally 50% of the short term richness problem attributed to reversion is really caused by running an atmosphere BOV. And 50% of what's left is due to poor BOV location and operation.

A larger diameter inlet pipe from the AFM to the turbo also helps, as does the longest pipe you can fit.

Apexi's own 1100 ps drag car (VMax) uses AFM's, obviously they could have gone to map sensors if they wanted, but they chose to go for a pair of Q45 AFM's. I am sure they didn't do it for any reason other than it offered a performance advantage. At the very least, it offered no performance dissadvantage.

My 20 cents worth:cheers:

i have the blow off valve set as plum back the problem being the type R only vents or really opens fully about 12-14psi below that i still have the compressor reversion... i will look into these hks units but granted i am chasing big power i dont have an endless financial stream that extends to q45 afms as i have checked and they are around $1100 each new. Previously i had twin rb25 units and i believe i will be pushing them to there limits at around 400rwkw i know i could upgrade to z32 units but again i still have the expense, and the risk of reversion. Another reason i didnt mind going to the map is due to the fact the car wont be driven on the road often and wont encounter the various climatic and load changes that afms are so great at measuring. I understand the apexi drag car runs afms but after talking along time ago with an apexi engineer he mentioned they dont need to worry about the reversion due to the fact the car changes gear so quickly and the fact it is at full load and the blow off valves will always vent the excees air. He basically mentioned there isnt a problem running map as they do on there toyota engines and the reason they run the afms on the apexi gtr car is due to the fact they dont need to tune as often to climatic and altitude changes. Any thoughts???

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
