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.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
