Ok, now I've recently been having a few problems with my car since I had a PowerFC installed.

The short story is, got the PFC, had it tuned. Had issues with the stock fuel pump. There was no pressure. After this I had the fuel pump replaced with a high flow walbro item, and a SARD fpr installed (incorrectly). Didn't make as much power as I wanted it to.

After this, the car was again retuned and didn't make much more power. There was now lots of fuel down low, but nothing up top. ie, AFR's were 12:1, injectors close to 100% duty cycle, and boost was only at 11psi. :D

Car was good to drive still though. Felt better than before I had the PFC. I just wanted to up the boost. But couldn't because of the fuel issues.

I wasn't really happy. My tuner then suggested that my injectors were screwed, and that I needed new ones...This didn't sit right with me, so I decided to go to UAS get some power runs done and get a second opinion.

Today I took my car to Unique Autosports to have them check it out and give me a second opinion. Firstly, the car only made 188rwkW on their dyno (made 200rwkW on the other). Secondly the fuel pressure regulator wasn't installed properly and wasn't doing jack all. That is why the injectors had to be run high, and why the car was leaning out (running out of fuel).

Ben from Unique Autosports fixed it up. He made the fpr work properly, which saw 10:1 ratio's at 11psi.

He then upped the boost to 13psi, and retuned the car. Now the car is making 200.5rwkW, the injectors are only at 76% and the engine knock value is down to 22 max, when it was hitting 34 frequently and occasionally spiking to 60.

Three cheers for Ben from UAS.

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
