powerfc
alright guys..heres the dilemma...i live in japan..currently own an s13..and have a bud in yokota who has a friend selling an fd3s for cheap so im planning to buy it...
problem: single turbo conversion, powerfc removed and replaced with stock ecu so the car thinks its still twin turbocharged...wonderful....the guy is selling it for less than 3,000 usd cuz he has to move out of japan ASAP...
questions: how would the car run without buying a powerfc with a commander at low rpms and at high? i want to be able to run it on a weekly basis before i get the money for a powerfc without many problems...the engine is rebuilt and strong as mike says...what other problems might i encounter?
thanks,
mark
