yeh I have cam gears in mind, and I might go with the cam gears and the S-AFC. I do realise that the power fc is much better because you can adjust fuel as well as ignition, but i simply do not have the funds.

What sorta power increase would we be looking at?

I will tell you saturday after I have dialed mine in. :)

I have just fitted them this week and will be putting it on the dyno Fri/Sat to set it up properly. I have boost up, turbo back exhaust, pods, and now the cam gears. Should be pretty similar to yours. Will let you know.

Save for the power FC, it's really worth it! Midrange power is heaps now, and distances between corners seem so short. Why waste money hooking up and tuning an afc when the power fc is da bomb??? If you can afford a gtr, I'm sure you can afford a power fc. In the end you'll probably end up getting one anyway.

If you really want to spend the money now, suspension. Swaybars really help the R turn in better, and stops bodyroll. 1470kg isn't exactly light.

orrite sweet......make sure u lemme know

what kinda power u got now?

Will let you know as soon as I do.

The other day we had 204rwkw but that was with it leaning out like crazy at the top end and with 13 odd pound. I have just today replaced the AFM which were stuffed and it has picked up heaps.

Silver-Arrows: what kind of performance gains did you get?....the suspension has already been done by the way. the mods i listed were only the mods associated with the power of the car.

how much would a power fc set me back....but just the FC....not hand controller...perhaps i will consider it but i dunno..have to see.

an additional odd $700 seems alot for just the fc.....what are the benefits of the fc?

either way...im definately going to get the cam gears

The FC i brought was second hand from Nengun. It was about 1300, but an additional 300 for the hand controller.

I got it tuned, but they tuned it at only 0.5 bar boost. It made a lame 160kw on all 4 wheels. The tuner selected the option of boost controller kit to on, which I don't have. That's why boost was only 0.5 bar. I fixed this today and it's running at 1 bar boost. Don't know how much power, but trust me, your brakes are going to need upgrading.

also..was there much difference in performance from 1bar/stock ecu to 1bar/powerfc?

Oh yeah!!! :)

I love the way the car pulls away now. Before it didn't have much midrange punch. Now it just pulls away and leaves me grinning like an idiot. People give me funny looks after I've stopped and try to take in what just happened. :cheers:

hahahaha...thats what I want to hear :(

has anyone here fitted an S-AFC to their gtr....if so what was the performance gain like?

surely an S-AFC and adjustable cam gears would give some wicked mid range?

Silver-Arrows: have you got any other mods like Cam gears?

EDIT: with the sort of power you'd be making with these sorts of mods...would the ceramic wheels in the turbos be a problem? (last long?)....keep in mind only running 1bar.

Little. BOV's, air filters, cat back exhaust, thincker FMIC, bigger radiator, oil cooler. Oh, I've put cable straps around the intercooler piping. They expand under load so this stops it from expanding, and spools up better. It helps. $2 for a stack of cable ties, can't complain about cost there.

Should not be a problem if you stay 1 bar or under.

Although I believe the powerFC is a very good ECU replacement (and I was amazed at the number of options of tuning it had when my friend fired his up for the first time the other nite) I wonder how much bang for bucks it has when running the ceramic standard turbos.

I was in exact position about 3 days ago choosing between powerFC and SAFC and I got the SAFC cos I thuoght it would do almost (obviously not AS good) a job but saved around $1200 or so from a second hand powerFC. With $1200 you can do quite a lot of other shit and I'm intending to spend it on cam gears + front pipes + dump pipes.

But its all up to you.... when it comes time to get bigger turbos I'll get a powerFC then. In terms of pure power the cam gears + SAFC are more bang for bucks... the powerFC allows you to do more later and adds efficiency throughout all tuning aspects giving more balance.. but at a price.

Ok finished dynoing the car last night. Took ten runs to get it right with lots of tinkering in the mean time. Got 240rwkw in the end but most impressive of all is the way that the car feels now. Smoother, far more low down throttle responce. It has over 200kw at 4200rpm. It is very toey down low. Far more responsive and much nicer to drive. It feels heaps smoother and easier to drive off boost (not that it was difficult b4 but it is way different now).

So BoOsTed go for it. It is a big difference. Well worth it. Just take your time and set them up correctly. Every car is different and needs slightly different settings.

Mick.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
