Hay guys my car is on its way and iam budgeting for some things id like to put on there?

from what i have been told i have a stock ecu?

the car a large fmic i think its hks, exhuast cold air intake, suspension sway bars and who knows what else lol. i think it was used for drifiting also its a 97 180sx =)

it also has inside a profec b boost controler and some one said it might have the old style apexi afc but not to sure =)

now if it does have a stock ecu?

should i replace the old boost controler and put in an avcr and rsm? is it worth getting rid of the profec b or is it preety good?

or leave that crap out and put in a power fc with hand controler?

reason iam asking is with the mods the car has how well can the stock ecu perform with these mods???

e.g to performace pinging air fuel etc.

and how much can the power fc help me with the kind of mods i have?

Thanks for all the help guys..

ohh here is the link to the mods on my car from the last post. =)

Wait until the car is here.

The reason I say that is that sometimes gear can be pinched from your car while on the docks.

Sad but true.

Don't waste your money on s RSM, I'm sure you've got a speedo and tacho on the car that works.

The Profec b is a good unit, hold onto that.

You might find that the ECU has been remapped, so wait till it get's here.

When the car get's here go right over the whole car and find out what it has, and if need it be run it up on a dyno and check A/F ratios, fuel pump preasure blah blah blah, decide from that what you want and need.

Once you get the power bug you'll want more though :D

When you get the car, dyno it and get a read out of a/f ratios. If it's too rich, SAFC.

Ask yourself, why do you want the RSM? Rice factor, or for the data it can give you, and do you know what it means?

If you intend on modifying the car more in future, get the PowerFC or something similar, and don't waste money on something you'll end up replacing, ie. SAFC.

    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
    • Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
    • Give it time mate, you will eventually sort out the bugs, and then... you too can hunt around in the hills looking for coffee, pies and treats
    • I am glad someone's project fun car is out doing stuff like this.
