Reprogramming R32 Gtst Ecu's

[BSK]

whos done it? what do you think?

is it worth it? what kind of power are u getting?

i wanna get rid of the safc so im just researching my options

[PHATR32]

your best options would be the pfc, dont waste you time with anything else!!!!!!!!

speedworks and hyperdrive can both do retuning of the factory ecu's, while you don't get the handcontroller you do with a pfc, the results are pretty much the same

Cost would be a factor.

AP engineering Power FC ( required for an RB20 ) would be around $1300-$1400 plus tuning of $450 ish.

Remap including supplying the necessary board hardware is around $880 all up including tune.

Any retuning is based on an hourly rate same as tuning any computer and both Lucas's Bikiroms and Glenn's Lumpyroms have had considerable success in high power applications .

Lee Sampsons 470 rwhp SR20 DET and 11.18 1/4 mile on a Lumpy rom is testament to that.

Or Adam Trewhellas RB25 Cefiro with 365 rwhp and stays on the rev limiter for most of the Wanners drift track.

Only down side is in WA you are limited to the 2 shops above as Denver mentioned so if you hate us both , your in trouble for retunes

spoke to hyperdrive about it.... sounds pretty good. only downside i guess is cost of reprogramming when upgrading components.

didnt really want to spend 2k on pfc .

does 300hp@ wheels sound a bit far fetched? (already have gt2530 and gtr injectors)

Cost of retuning is no different than any other computer. Rate is $140ph on the dyno and takes about the same time as tuning an Autronic/motec/wolf/power FC.

300rwhp is achievable , I have 290rwhp in an RB20 with low mount and external gate.

( Well I did till the turbo blew on Saturday night )

Any one heard of Dr Drift?? I suggest you PM 3lit3 32 and ask him about it, Has has had a very favourable result using a rechipped ECU

can i ask what turbo ? and how much boost to achieve 290? im assuming stock int.

[gtrken]

One of our custom made hiflo ones using a stock R33 GTS-T turbo.

No mods to be needed and dump bolts straight up. $1600 which sounds expensive except every other turbo avaliable requires dump/intake or water line changes.

We weld the gate up and run external gate mounted on a stock manifold.

Relatively cheap but a little laggy atm until we sort of few other things out.

And yes , it is on stock internals and running 16-17psi.

How much for the whole lot to be done ken? I mean turbo, gate, tune.. (I think borneo mentioned injectors...)

Josh , we don't want to start quoting prices until I am happy the turbo's we are using are up to it.

Drift testing soon shows up any weakness

Ahk no worries ken - Im still debating in my mind whether to keep the 20 or go for a 25, so if you guys come up with a pretty good setup (290hp sounds nice already) I might be interested
