The later PFC base map seems to be ok to run short term but it would always be recomended to get it set up very soon.

Sounds daft but i bought mine of E-bay new for £400 all done to my door, bear in mind though if you buy from the guy who will be setting it up often with a bit of haggling you can get a better deal (rolling road set up\'s usaly about £300 on top) alot of Places will give you a Discount of the Roller time if you buy a PFC from them.

very good point to note, alot of people dont take this into account.

I got mine from Ebay for £400 ... and mapped for £300 . Such a noticable difference when installed and mapped .

found a couple on ebay for 400 so prob go for that, as for mapping there is Engine Advantages which are quite near to me and have a good reputation, they said they would map for 250-300 which seems ok to!

my car is a 1995 type r, so i take it i need the early PFC ? someone said check the date on the seat belt, and this says 1994?

driving everywhere an anywhere at the moe tryin to get it run in!

Have Engine Advantages got any Experiance with Rotarys?? They are a bit Diffrent to Boinger Motors.

Also Yes if your car is a 95 you want the 93-95 PFC (first one) They did\'nt put 16bit ecu\'s in until 96 (very few 95\'s where 16bit)
