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.

    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
    • f**king around with the bro
    • Ludenham   44.2 tops day no issues  
    • Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.
    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
