Hi

I presume your talking about a Apexi Power FC? I have also been trying to source one for an RB20DET, but they are very rare to find, and when you do find one they are extremely over-priced.

I'm assuming your looking for a stand alone ECU, something like a PFC, LINK, Microtech etc

Personally, if I was to get an aftermarket stand alone ECU, I'd go for a plug and play unit. Thats just so incase you do choose to go back to stock, or get EPA'd of whatever the reason may be, you can simply unplug the unit and plug your standard ECU back in. You also save money on installtion, and dont have to hack up your standard loom.

If your looking for a standalone plug and play ECU, LINK make a plug and play for the RB series. I have found one for sale on NS.com, at a very reasonable price.

I was thinking about getting it for my self, but I think I will hold out a little longer, so its all yours, or who-ever else may be interested after reading this thread.

LINK ECU's have become pretty popular over the last few years, and seem to be doing pretty well. Havent heard any complaints, but if you want to do some research, I've provided some links below..

cheers abu might hold off aswell but might go for the remapp untill i find a decent one.

Not a problem man.

Send CEF11E a PM in regards to remaps, he knows whats going on! I sent him a PM this morning after speaking to another member about remaps, he recommended me to CEF11E, and CEF11E know's his stuff.

He has been very helpful in the little time we spoke via PM and is willing to help out, so I will be speaking to him a lot more when he comes back online.

He does his owns remaps according to the modifications you have, and at a good price, but best to speak to him for all the details.

Hope that helps a little more. :P

Thanks,

Abu

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
