Hey,

Ive done a search on this subject but couldn't find anything.

I've come to a fork on the road with my skyline. Do i get a Power FC or not?

Currently i have on my RB20:

185rwkw @ 1bar

R34 GTT turbo

Walbro 255 pump

Filter

Bov

2.5 turbo back exhaust

Apexi EBC

Trust V-SPL FMIC

Chipped/Remapped ECU with maps for R33 turbo

If i install a Power FC how much power will i gain?

Is it worth spending $2000 to buy/install/tune?

Any help would be lovely :rofl:

Cheers

Sean

How you will gain will depend on how well the stock ecu has been remaped.

You most probably won't gain anything up top, maybe a little as it will be able to tuned a little closer to the edge as the PFC has a knock sensor readout.

Mid range is possibly where you will pick up some power, but once again it depends on how well it was tuned with the stock ecu.

I would probably stick with what you have now if you are not planning on upgrading the turbo at a later date.

what an idiot, i know that you will only get a few kw's to begin with but if you continue modding it will be the thing letting u down in the end!

Hey...idiot is a bit harsh:)

I think the previous owner was looking for an improvement whislt keeping it nice and quiet, ie not drony:)

narc up boys, i would like to know aswell because i just purchased an rb20det power fc for $1099 my 32 has high flowed turbo, hks front mount, 14psi, bosch 040, 3.5inch exhaust all the way through, either gtr or rx7 550cc injectors will be going in soon, and going to get it tuned at 18psi...have never had the computer tuned so hopefully it will have stacks more power when i get it tuned...hoping around 40-50hp...let us know what u think

If you want the extra 40-50hp your gonna need the stroker crank i just bought. Its custom made from a crew of brilliantly gifted engineers in the former Soviet Republic...liek the GTRcrank it will need some clearancing of the block, but she will make the power im after:thumbsup:

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
