hi just wondering if i should bother getting my ecu remapped or just go for a piggyback ecu

the reason is i have an auto r33 gts25t ser2 and my goal is to reach 250rwkw

mods i will be getting installed is:

- fmic

- hiflow rb25

- remapped ecu or piggyback ecu

i already have 3" turboback zorst and k&n panel filter

if my ecu were to get remapped would it handle that much power?

will i even reach that power with these mods?

if so does anyone know where to get my ecu remapped in sydney

preffering around western suburbs

thanks

cant remap stock rb ecus man... go for a pfc or haltech.. dnt waste time and money on piggy back crap.

...and you will need bigger injectors as well. and stock turbo dump pipes run out of breath at about 220-240kw...with all of your mods with a ecu and injectors you should get 220-230rwkw

i cant go for a pfc because they dont work with auto transmission

haltech im not too sure... thats why i am going for a piggyback ecu

also i already have a custom screamer so it shouldnt be running out of breath

You can re-map RB ECUs, Powerplay do them in Sydney... expensive but proven to work. And yes, it should handle 250rwkw easy as my mate has gone beyond that mark already with the same ECU re-mapping process.

You have a mate running an auto with transbrake? What has that got to do with a Haltech working on a auto transmission?

FYI, the Haltech does work on the auto ECU - for the e11v2 you're looking at about $2,500 for the ECU, 5bar MAP sensor, and on-board boost control - factor in a big tune and you're closer to $3.5k

Fun isn't it?

I've looked into all the options now for quite some time, still no answer!

Hydra Ems is a straight plug in ECU and controls the Auto Box features.

Same tuning capabilites as Haltech but is cheaper $1700 and has a basic tune in it.It has more Aux`s such as lauch control.It comes standard with a 3 bar map sensor and Software.The other benefits is that you can run any type of ignition with it Either Being EL coils or MSD coils With the standard Series 1 Ignitor.

IF you need anymore Information just PM me

hey satanic where abouts is this Powerplay in sydney?

do you have details? website?

i was told that a guy called toshi can remap ecu's in sydney

has anyone had any recent experience besides like a year ago

"i did a search on him and he did a couple of ecu remaps for some people but last time i heard was a year ago" i wonder if he does them still?

toshi who remaps ECUs is not the same as Tosh who works at Powerplay.

We use remapped ECUs on the racecars and have no problems.

Particularly with the ignition cut problems with auto trans there are few if any aftermarket computers that work well on them.

Do both Haltec and Hydra get their load input from MAP sensor instead of Air Flow Meters? If so this is harder to tune and produces less driveability than a standard or other AFM ECU.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
