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:)

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:

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
