Tuning options other than POWER FC

[lilskyline240]

i really was set on gettin a Power FC for my rb25 till i found out they discontinued them and now sell for $1400!! i wanted to go that route because it is plug and play, no wiring needed. Megasquirt my only other viable option for plug and play tuning? I just dont like the fact of having to make an engine harness

[eh?]

Megasquirt isn't plug and play.. The aem is out of your range so you might as well look for a used RB25 pfc. Or be creative and figure out how to use an RB26 pfc...

[Tr0uble]

If you have a nissan stay away from AEM. Check out their tech page or view my thread here linking to the problem there.

[themadscientist]

SDS or Haltech

[eh?]

I have the AEM and I do not have any more issues with the cam trigger wheel fix.

Like he quoted already... the RB25 version is discontinued... link does him no good.

How about the Autronic SM4??

[Coolwhip]

if a $1200 PFC is out of his range i would think SM4 would be as well. Plus the idea he said that he didn't want to mess with another harness.

dont spend the money just yet; just save up some more until you have enough for the AEM EMS

[s14_girl]

I just finished removing my Megasquirt and all mods to the harness for it, and have ordered a PFC. Megasquirt is not plug and play at all, which is why it's so much cheaper than a PFC. As far as I can tell, it's worked great for some RB owners and not at all for others. I, unfortunately, am one of the latter.

[lilskyline240]

so pretty much if i want plug and play i gotta watch for a used PFC or bend over backwards and pay the $1400 price tag for a new one

[themadscientist]

If you can't cover the price of admission you should stop now. If you have a functional stock setup running now leave it be until you can do it right.

[lilskyline240]

I can buy a PFC right now, but i just dont want to pay DOUBLE what it sold for

[themadscientist]

That's not double, it was almost $1000 when they were new. Figure in the price of the commander so you can use the thing and the price goes up more. I have a hard time justifying the expense on a replacement computer anyway.

[lilskyline240]

you could get a PFC and commander for 700 from nengun.com new. Now its 1400 for them both

I have the AEM and I do not have any more issues with the cam trigger wheel fix.

I have the AEM also, and I dont even have the trigger wheel fix yet, I've had 0 problems with mine so far

Do you hear something?

[Coolwhip]

the voices

[lilskyline240]

a rb26 PFC can be used?

[Coolwhip]

its been done, but it requires some work.

there is a HUGE thread on it on SAU, good luck

got a link for that thread?

Because your's a trailer queen The real problems started about 15-20 minutes of driving but sync errors right from the start.

[pirate87]

Try rinkya.com and browse through yahoo japan. Thats how I got mine about 6 months ago for $560 USD shipped to me. Granted the hand commander was not included, thats still pretty unbelieveable for an RB25 PFC.

[Abdo]

NISTUNE or MAP-ECU2

You should really get a clue

I've put 10k miles on my swap this year alone, and i have made at least 6 3+ hour drives in the car........trips to chicago, indianapolis, st louis.....

Trailor queen? , the 10k+ miles, 50-60 dyno runs, 4 trips to the drag strip, oh and I drive it to work on days its not raining........yeah its a trailer queen

[eh?]

Its a joke cmon man. Not everyone with the aem has the problem. But if wasn't such a problem aem would have never sent out free cam trigger wheels at no cost, hell they even fedex it for free.

We provide a chipping service at Speed Theory here in Jersey for the RB25's. Yes it can be done!! Here we have the ability to chip the RB25 stock ecu's to make it fully tunable with any universal rom editor. We provide this service with either a base map to get you going or if you are in the northeast area a full tune. Its a less expensive alternative than Apexi or AEM. you can e-mail me at [email protected] for pricing and further questions.

[streeteg]

A shop in PA does the same thing... its roughly 700 for the chip and first tune, then 120 for every tune after that. Perfect for me since I only plan on running bolt ons and <400whp. Uses all stock sensors so you can daily drive till the cows come home
