Hey guys,

I am keen to get a new ecu for my r34 GT-T Skyline, I was thinking of getting a Haltech Platnium Sport 1000, but I have also been looking at the cheaper option of Nistune and maybe a piggyback ecu. My maximum power figure that I would be aiming for would be 300kw eventualy. I have done a fair bit of work with standalone ecu's before, so I am tending that way. I am just looking for something that may be simpler and cheaper but will still do what i need it too, the Greddy Emanage seems to be a good option.

Thanks Joel

Nistune

Trent sent u a pm a lil while ago regarding emu/vman.

Do you have much expirence with vmanage..?

yeah, kinda pointless on alot of cars, the evos get good gains though.

Trent - by any chance has you tried E85 on a 1jz with the EMU? looking at doing it on my soarer cause we get 2 E85 servos here in the ACT this month and I have the Emanage lying around.

I still want to be able to run 98 so trying to figure out the best compromise of injectors that are big enough for upto the 300rwkw mark on E85 yet still be able to control the injectors with the EMU, The car is Auto so no chance of being able to use a real ECU :thumbsup:

yeah its fine but you MUST wire up the coolant temp sensor as its needs lots on temp comp for cold start.

Thanks, was going to use the plug in loom to save hacking up the factory loom.

Im guessing it needs a bucket load more fuel when cold over factory.

yup.

Reckon factory 2jz 440's will be enough for the standard turbo's there is a set going cheap I can get my hands on.

Thinking I really should get some big ones straight up to make sure I have enought fuel for the future.

While Im thinking of it, would rb25 injectors fit the 1jz fuel rail, the plugs are different but thats an easy fix, asking cause I have set of high flowed 25det squirters sitting in the garage.

440's will be fine on petrol, they will see more power than your stock turbos can muster up. no chance on e85 though

and how cheap is cheap? they can be had regularly for $150...

aboot $100 bucks, I was more thinking just for the mean time, but the effort involved in swapping them over and then havng to go it all over again when I up the boost means I doubt Ill grab them.

just worked it out, the 2jz 440's are only 19% larger so no go for e85 even now, need 550s minimum :P

oh well.

Wolf do a plug in for an auto soarer.

they do auto trans models.

are they preset will all the correct shift pressures and what not? if not the are no different to all other ecus.... all ecu's can run an auto if you know the solenoid switching and relevant input /outputs.

If it does thats pretty sweet, but i still wont touch them :D

They've done a fair few soarer auto's and most people are happy with how it comes pre-set. I like to take customers for a drive and customise the shifts to there driving style.

at what cost though, It wouldnt be free, and CBF spending 2K on a ECU plus 1500 to tune, then have to f**k around if the auto flares badly or shifts to early etc etc and at the cost per hour for workshop rates isnt cheap.

Cause there is no way you can program and auto box in a hour of cruising round the back streets.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
