Logging with PC attached included on all ECU's. If logging without the PC connected is required, you must purchase the Pro 24pin module. This module simply connects through the CAN bus and is configurable, however it is preconfigured by Pro EFI for common channels to be logged.
*The amount of available channels is dependant upon the use of pre configured I/O such as Fuel pump, TPS, etc…
**Fault coding is a strategy used by the O.E. manufacturers. This strategy allows for the capability to trigger faults and fault actions. Features include but are not limited to multiple safety strategies for limiting boost and shutting off nitrous control under lean conditions. See your Authorized Professional EFI Dealer for more information.
***Multiple Strategies are configurable based upon time or speed. See your Authorized Professional EFI Systems Dealer for more information.
****V.E. stands for volumetric efficiency. This is a strategy incorporated by the O.E. manufacturers to more accurately determine the fueling requirements of the engine. There are several advantages to using this method. See your Authorized Professional EFI Systems Dealer for more information.
*****These communication ports are dedicated for the use of future external peripherals to be announced by Professional EFI Systems at a later date.
Adaptive - Is a term meaning that particular feature will self tune itself constantly. This is another strategy used by the O.E. manufacturers to help keep the vehicle in a constant state of tune for hundreds of thousands of miles.

The things you gain on the 128 from the 48 are in short:
*More stages of nitrous
*Differential Wheel speed traction control
*Variable cam control (the 48 leaves the stock computer controlling it, and thus far is doing an excellent job and really isn’t worth the upgrade alone.)
*Electronic Throttle control (the 48 also leaves the stock computer in control of that as well. We have seen absolutely NO reason for trying to eliminate the stock computers control over the ETC…. it does what you ask every time!)
Dual Internal Wideband O2 control

*Differential Wheel speed traction control
*Variable cam control (the 48 leaves the stock computer controlling it, and thus far is doing an excellent job and really isn’t worth the upgrade alone.)

EDIT: I did try to look for this on the ProEFI website - not even the old one is there that I can see.

From what jason posted (i believe its also somewhere in this thread) both have USB connection, mr medic can probably verify that for you. THe individual cylinder knock detection features are standard on both units.
ninja edit. Seems like mike found the info

Hey I apologize, I really didn't mean to ask about the Haltech - already knew the answer
I meant that about ProEFI from slidefox's above post: "*Variable cam control (the 48 leaves the stock computer controlling it, and thus far is doing an excellent job and really isn’t worth the upgrade alone.)"

Can the ProEFI (48pin) control both intake/exhaust on RevUp motors?
Can the ProEFI (48pin) control the intake on non-RevUp motors?

Sorry I was just looking for further clarification. Was there a reason for leaving out cam control on the 48pin? It seems to me that the 48pin will have adaptive learning for stuff like fuel, boost (when you turn it up), and other features but it is still relying on the stock ECU to control certain aspects. Kinda like it's sharing responsibilities.
If you upgrade to the 128pin, does the adaptive learning go into cam control as well?

he is the 48 unit with Cam timing(controlled by stock ecu) on/off
The stock ECU doing a very good job controlling cam timing. The reason why the 48 unit is advertized more on the Z is because there is not much more 99% of the people will need so they are actually tryign to save us 800-1000 dollars vs tryign to force everybody to spend more on useless/OVerkill stuff.
You want to play around with the cam timing then the 128box is what you would want but on the Z there is not awhole lot to expect on gains...if any. Nissan did do a good job there.

In one of our previous thread's we were stressing the fact that all of the dynos that were posted were without VTC. Some had doubted the effectiveness of VTC but now that ProEFI has gotten it ironed out we'd like to share some results we've found. The first dyno posted is of a Turbonetics equipped 350z at 9 PSI (Quicksilver's car)
Here's the HP curve (as you can see there are significant midrange gains)
So we didnt clutter the graphs we have HP and TQ on seperate graphs.
Here's the TQ Curve
Now here's what alot of you have been waiting for. We tested the GT37R with and without the VTC on. As some of you know we made 706WHP previously with the VTC off. When we activated the VTC it made the curve look alot more like the GT35R curve (w/ vtc off)
HP Curve (20 psi)
TQ Curve (20 psi)
So yes, VTC does make alot of difference in the midrange.

Thanks for the charts, looks great. Just to clarify, the green is with VTC on?
So how would one go about addressing a methanol injection setup to get the full gain out of it with a 48pin (if possible)?

Names Mike... Nice to meet ya!
I think, and this is strictly my opinion, with the 48 why mess with what works? If the OEM EMS does a well enough job controlling certain aspects... why mess with it. Jason is one of the most knowledgable people I know, and I'm sure he would make a valid case on why he choose to go that route with the 48 Unit.

Jason is ProEFI... he posted once a couple of pages ago with that information under IntenseFab's name.
