Hi guys, most of yas all seem to know wat ur on about with regards to skylines/vl's (RB engines) so heres my situation.

I have a VL Berlina 87 model, have a large ass bore throttle body on it that my father made for me, CAI with a pod hangin off it and 2.5" straight through. Extractors, stage 2 cam and head work (courtesy of my father) will be getting done soon and it should be pretty beasty. Its strangely fast now as it is haha but i want faster.

He did an engine for a guy who had stage 2 cam on an RB30ET and he cant remember wat ECU he used for it. Wondering if you guys new wat i could use for one to cope with an RB30E with a stage 2 cam in it, and preferably not a whole ECU set up, rather a piggyback comp or something easier and simpler...

Any suggestions welcome,

Thanks guys

Josh

I'm not sure.. But I want to hear this thing :rolleyes:

apexi SAFC? or powerchip?

something like that.. there's a handful around - just comes down to what is easiest to tune, and if there's anyone in your area that can... no point buying something and having to take the car interstate just so someone can throw it on the dyno to tune.

Alright thanks man, I will run that by one of the guys at a dyno shop around here. But i've been told there pretty useless mothers workin those dynos so i might have to travel to try and find a not-shit dyno mob. But still they might be able to get that gear in and be able to tune it (hopefully).

Is that all i will need though to suit the stage 2 cam?

Thanks guys,

Josh

It depends if you just want the motor to "cope" as stated in your original post, or if you want to be able to squeeze every last little bean out of it.

I'm running a stage 3 equivalent in my RB30e with standard ECU, so there's no reason why the stock ECU wouldn't cope with a stage 2, providing the timing is properly adjusted to suit.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
