Alright, so I'm wondering EXACTLY what the differences are... I know the R34 uses VVL and has individual ignitor.. and a 6-spd tranny... but other than that is there any major diff?
I know they solved the oil pump drive issue and other small stuff...
Basically.. will any aftermarket gear I have on my R32 RB26DETT swap over to an R34... mainly the HKS hard pipes... however... if I upgrade the turbos... ill get custom manifolds / charge pipes anyway.
Also, when putting an R34 engine into an R32... is there anything aside from the usual parts (harness + ecu) that I will need?
I'm not keeping HICAS, so dont worry about giving advice on how to make that work. :wink:

) It completely replaces your stock ecu with a more asthetically pleasing brushed alloy case with the Apex logo stamped on it. The unit can come with an optional backlit led display controller that allows you to monitor and adjust various maps, limits, and sensor inputs. The Power FC can laso be hooked up to a laptop and your monitoring can be done in high resolution colour. The controller is used for three functions - displaying engine data, Monitor Mode , displaying and then reprogramming engine management maps,Settings Mode , and an 'Etc' mode. In its Monitor mode, any two of the following factors can be displayed on the screen: Injector Duty Cycle, Ignition Timing, Airflow Meter Output Voltage, Engine RPM, Road Speed, Boost Pressure, Knock Sensor Output, Coolant Temp, Intake Air Temp, and Battery Voltage. The pair that is displayed can be selected, so you can have Boost and Knock Sensor output, for example. In addition to displaying this data numerically in real time, a line graph function can be enabled, allowing the easy spotting of spikes, such as those occurring in the knock sensor output when detonation occurs. When used on a vehicle with an RB series motor, the Power FC is set up to work with a Apexi Boost Controller, and if you dont have one the engine will constantly stall unless you send it back to get reprogrammed, or you run the FC in non-boost mode. From there anything is possible, such as making the check engine light blink when detonation is sensed, then you can at the same time adjust the times and virtually tune your vehicle while on the fly or in the pits. However at this time there are no ignition timing correction charts which make tuning A/F a certain rpms, loads, and air temps a little hit or miss. As well the Power FC did not accept Nissans service tool and in fact appears to have no self-diagnosis facility at all.
