Top 5 Gtr Times-what Ecu Are Bieng Used

[exXU1]

At the stage of deciding which way to go in regard to ECU.

Do not require any factory controls as there is no fancy bits left.

No AFM's and 1. x single , need straight out good clean HP for drags.

What are the fastest GTR's in the country using , any one have an idea?

I have been told Go MOTEC or next best Halltec, surely some of the jap ECU's will cut the cheese.

Any one have info or results fom the D - jetro experiences? <_<

Wilson's R32 GTR uses Motec

Munro's R33 GTR uses ????

Mario's R33 GTR uses Motec

Theo's R32 GTR uses Power FC (with AFM's)

The SubZero GTST's mostly use Microtech, I haven't seen any Skylines with Haltec's.

cheers

most japanese rh9 cars these days run either power fc or hks fcon v pro

[Leewah]

Munro is running a Motec in his car.

I'm running an Autronic SMC combined with the Autronic CDI.

Next best thing is a Haltec I don't think so! I would say the next best thing to a Motec is the Autronic system.

If you have the money, the Motec system is the way to go. You will never look back!

Our normal Power FC is good enough for 10.3....but we are upgrading to a pro version to shoot for 9's

[fatz]

well i have a spanking new d jetro power fc if anyone wants it for 1000

suitable for single throttle body

cheers

fatz , i have been thinking in this direction , but have come up with zero evidence that supports it's ability's or any one who has anything what so ever to support this unit ??

correction.Willall"s use motec and power fc.However fc is only for "knock".Motec does the rest.

[StageZilla]

motec is the no 1 option

autronics and cdi is next in my opinion

and also ND4SPD in perth with a hks 2.8L stroker and twin hks t04z turbos making just under 800hp at the wheels in his gtr uses the power fc d jetro im 99.9% sure (thats what all the articles say anyway)

www.xspeed.com is where the car is from if u wanna chat to them about it

cheers

You know , it's such a difference in price , a $1300 D Jetro compared to close to $6 K for the motec?

Does it really cost that much extra for a little more Hp or----- does it come down to consistant and reliability 'on the day " monitoring and tweeking to enable the engine to perform under different conditions.

Is this the D Jetro's max ability? I simply do not Know.

The Autronic and the CDI unit , what sort of $$$?To set up properly . <_<

[alpinestars]

this is the GTR in perth (ND4SPD) which pushes 800hp at the wheel

this is the write up from a perth magazine about it

[Duncan]

I'm intruiged, why all the big $$ ECUs in a car that runs WOT for 9 seconds? Honest question, is the tuning really that difficult? Surely the PFC has enough load points for this use? I mean, the quickest drag cars use carbies?

[R31Nismoid]

When GTR racers are spending upwards of 100k on thier cars.

whats 6k more i'd think is thier view.

Motec has the best of all of it

Defin. agree with Dunc's on this one!

We will continue using power fc.....easy to tune. If you need all that datalogging shit with a Motec....then go right ahead....I am an experienced enough driver to tune the chassis/set-up the car with the seat of my pants. Dont need an expensive toy to tell me the car bogged or had too much wheelspin etc. Power FC and a new G-Tech pro RR cost me $1500. whats a Motec full set-up installed?? $8000-$10 000. Spend the money if you need all the help you can get....if not save it and spend it elsewhere.

Boy's, you need to think laterally on this.

The same timing and the same A/F ratio will make the same power, doesn't matter what ECU you are using.

I used an Autronic for 2.5 years on my Sti and I loved it because it plugged straight in. I'm using a PFC Pro on my R32 purely because it's a plug in solution. Both will make the same power numbers on the same car.

What you pay for with Autronic/MOTEC is the race car options that none of us will even go close to using the way the maker intended.

Don't just buy an ECU, invest in a proven and reputable engine tuner - an ECU is just a conduit for a tuner's engine strategy.

So ....... Andrew , what do you think of the D- Jetro?

The Apexi PFC PRO has the the two drag facilitys coupled with AFM's.

This leaves me to say that;

this topic is starting to narrow down to a couple of basic derivitaives( can't spell that ?)

The conclusion is ? <_<

exXU1...power fc pro is what you need....but APEXi stopped making them....ive been looking for one for two months now....with no success. If you can find a reputable supplier then please let me know.

My ECU is MINE's Tuned

[BBGTR]

I have never used a D-Jetro PFC.

I'll draw a comparison with my Autronic as you could use air flow meters or a MAP sensor.

They only reason a MAP based system is better in my opinion is if the air flow meters are a restriction (either by volume or resolution) or they are prone to failure (like some WRX versions).

Air flow meters are more precise in transient throttle applications particuarly at low manifold vacuum.

I would go with whatever your tuner thinks he can get the best out of.

I'm new to GT-R's and I'm biased towards Autronic. So AUTRONIC FOR POWER!! Go the SM4 http://www.autronic.com if you're not using AFM's.
