whats the car being used for

and whos tuning it and installing it

Whats mods have you done and are doing

[R31Nismoid]

Talk to the person who will be tuning the car.

Choose the ECU they are most familiar with.

No point giving someone apples if they only like oranges

[paulr33]

why does it have to be map ?

[murrayis]

Has to be Map so can run without piping, plus my afm's on its way out

Mercury or Millennium Motorsports will be tuning it they both have said eigther is fine.

current mods are

higmount

t70

Front mount

Hybrid dual stage boost controller

HKS Cam's

HKS Cam Gears

Bosch 040

550cc injectors

Future plans in progress atm

Bore too 82mm

Rb26 crank and rods

Forged tomie pistons

Port and polish the head

cheers

maybe ask them about adaptronic or wolf

[murrayis]

adaptronic and wolf, what are your thoughts on them?

[DVS-31T]

microtech built and designed for australian conditions

[IMACUL8]

If you dont want to spend Motec or autronic money - i would have thought a Apexi Power FC D -Jetro would have been a wise choice for a 32?

Link is crap and Microtec I cant comment on as Ive never used one or been in a car with one.

[murrayis]

They dont make a d-jetro for a Rb20

[paulr33]

you could use the rb26 djetro and parrellel up the map sensor

would probably work

[Jago]

you also need deep pockets for microtech, NO fuel economy, im looking at changing when i get the money (depends on where the car is going)

[202.3rwkw]

spend the money once and once only. go autronic. nothing but good reports and i have only ever seen great results with them. get yourself a quality tuner who knows his stuff and build up a good relationship. you ll get the power u want!

[murrayis]

So,

Microtech

Wolf

LinkECU

Microtecs are all dependant on the tune for $$ for fuel

[DVS-31T]

microtech are a little more costly yes and is a bit of a job wiring not to bad though, can easily be tuned though with the right sortware etc all comes back to how well your tuner knows whats goin on

[R31Nismoid]

So Australian conditions?

[Adriano]

i do dyno tuning for a living, and i would say that any computer will make similar power, but its everywhere else that you do 95% of the driving, and i find the interpolation of the load points on the microtech to be somewhat poor.
