Ive searched and searched and i cant find any info on the stats on, or where to by the d-jetro. I would prefere to buy it in aus and also from someone with the software for it ,any help is appreciated.

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???

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
