I did tell u something constructive...you really won't be able to get much out of the mines ecu if you can't tune it to suit your car...how about you ask proper questions before you have a go at me?

Good size for what? 300hp? 500hp?

What do you already have? and what do u mean by parts needed? parts for the swap alone? or parts to support the new turbo? and then...it also depends on what turbo you want to get...which will determine what parts you need...thats why i said search first...how do you expect people to help if you aren't clear?!

Ok...in terms of support mods you seem to be on the right path...you will need some sort of programmable engine management...as for the turbo to get...look at the rb20 turbo upgrade thread...you will be able to see how others are doing and follow the same path...

To4e is way too big for any practicality in an rb20...rb25 hiflow is my choice hands down because it involves not much modification to fit, not ridiculously laggy, it and its good for at least 200rwkw with supporting mods.

If you dont have a full exhuast system get one of those first.

An apexi avcr is NOT engine management...its a boost controller...and as i mentioned...jap tuned ecus are usually useless here in australia because they are tuned for very rich air fuel ratios and higher octane fuel...if they can be retuned then it might work...but in the end it'll just be like a remapped ecu...in the end...you have 3 simple options for engine management...piggyback(safc, emanage and the like)...remap(dr drift remap) or stand alone(power fc or similar)...i'm guessing your car has a mines tuned rom in it since you're so keen on finding out about it...speak to your local tuners to see if it can be retuned...if not bin the thing...

i have searched mate. i need answers. So if you have nothing constructive to say then piss off!!

that post was probably the most informative and truthful post in this thread. And with a reply like this one quoted, I hope you get flamed to ashes.

A mines ECU IS USELESS unless you have someone to tune it. If you leave it how it is it will be exactly as it states - a mine. Your engine will go kaboom.

and AVCR is not engine management, its a boost controller.

How hard?

There is some quite useful info here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=103095

Which is at the top of the PI page.

Otherwise search using keywords like Slide, GCG*, 2530*, 2871*, Discopotato, MTQ*, highflow, etc.

Make some effort to search and see/read what others have achieved/done, before telling someone where to get off.

The whole thing isn't about instant gratification. If you want to modify then you need to know exactly what you want out of your car, and what use you want to put it to. That will ultimately dictate what works best for you. :)

And here's a thread that was active in only the past few days about remapping:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=143835

If you want to know about stand alone replacement ECU, then try searching PFC*, Apexi, Microtech, Datalogit.

Again, it's only down to your budget and intended outcome. You could try Googling Adaptronic too.

None of this is hard, just a bit time consuming to build your own understanding.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
