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???

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
