looking to get a remap in the near future, and as much as ive asked a few credible sources, i havnt yet come to a conclusion as to whether i should be getting a tune and remap or whether the tune gets done at the time of the remap. so basically i guess im asking what do the 2 consist. im thinking ill get a tune for now, then get a remap in a few weeks, but im wondering whether i should just save it and get a remap which will cover the tune anyway.

i know its a really noob question, and probably covered before but any help would be great. cheers

ermm...a tune is a remap.

They remap your stock ecu to tune it, unless you have some other form of engine management, then they'll "tune" that

no, a remap is a tune, but by tune i mean the general make sure its running properly tune, not put new software in ur ecu tune. i just want to get everything running safe for a bit as it has a new turbo, other mild mods and hasnt had a tune in Aus yet.

putting the car on the dyno without the remap will acheive nothing :D you will not be able to adjust fuel and only timing by cas.

get the remap done if you can :)

ahk, well my mate just had his tuned and said they were playing around with the A:F's and i had been to the place only a few days or so before that and they said they didnt have the software to remap yet but will be getting it soon. now im not sure on the whole process, but i beleive there is a difference between playing with the ecu and putting new software in it.

    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
    • Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
    • The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
    • It would be nice to see the result, but instagram is a click too far
    • That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
