Is a Apexi Power FC from r33 series 2 going to work in a R32 gts-t.

I know the 33 has inbuilt ignitors in there coil packs and mine has the ignitor on top of the motor at the back,I was thinking somehow might cause a problem.

Anyone put a r33 series 2 pfc on there r32 ?

any help appreciated will get model number of the pfc tomorrow

Reason for using the r33 one is the r32 is done by some other guys Ap engineering and cost $500more and I want the fc to say rb25 when it turns on lol .even though i only got rb20det.nah it's more about saving the $500 to put towards the tune.

thanks for any help

cheers

i just ordered a rb25 pfc from nengun with the specific purpose to use it on my rb20.

the ecu connectors are the same and the ecu pinouts are IDENTICAL except for injector triggers for cyls 5 and 6, they are just reversed.

also if you use the rb25 pfc you HAVE to change injectors as it cant go smaller than 370cc (stockers on the rb25), but im already running 720's so its not a problem.

once i get my pfc i will def do a write up on if it works or not, else im sure some one will be more than keen to buy it new with commander for what i paid.

sounds like you could be playing with fire, but if it does work certainly let us know and ill put it in the powerfc faq

willdo.

however the old girl let go tonight, busted ring lands are suspect as car still runs smooth (well as smooth as it can go on dead cylinders) and doesnt make any horrible noises.

i'll be recieving the pfc before i get the car back together so it might be a while, but from what research ive done it should work no worries, but we will see.

however im gonna be helping a friend do a rb20 swap into his s14 soon and he's got my old 550's so while a chip will do fine on it we'll see if the pfc does indeed work on the rb20.

This should work fine as the Wolf plugin for R33 works fine in R32s so i cant see any reason the PFC would be different.The Ignition is not an issue just make sure your injectors are the same risistance,If not you could use a GTR injector risistor but as your modding the car you would want to replace the injecter and could use 13ohm replacements like Pink Densos from an RX7 etc.

I fitted an R33 plugin in to a Ceffy on friday and all was well only having to change one power feed so i cant see you having many issues if you get yourself a copy of both cars ECU pinouts.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
