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.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
