So... perhaps a heads up?

If this is correct... Series 2 R33 has the ignitor built into the ECU, so you probably can't use the RB20 ECU in a series 2, right?

The ignitors/transistors are not in the ecu at all, they are in the series II coils.

Series 1/2 ecu does not matter. Hence a single model PowerFC fitting both model engines series I and II.

Yeah, Turbo Tune's dyno is only a few months old now. Comparable to Graham West's dyno now :)

ah sweet, have they got some-one down there who knows how to use it now.... :)

^ so your saying that cause its running a remaped 20 computer and not a pfc then the result must be fudged

come off it 210 has been made by alot of 25's with the same sort of mods

its not like he's claiming 250

Did I call BS at all on his figure?

I just asked fot IT and AT and the other factors.

And as always, I couldn't give 2 shits about a dyno figure. They mean nothing. Driveability and the proper ability to make use of said power is the key.

Plus, the main thing is area under the curve.

so the rb20 ecu is better than the rb25 ecu because it can be remapped ? i have a rb25det ceffie with a safc2 atm . would i get a better result running a rb20det ecu and getting a remap?

kermit

I think anything remapped is better than a SAFC... Thats y u get better gains from a remap than a SAFC tune coz u cant really change too much on the SAFC just ur air fuel mixtures.

Wow, really impressive results!!

Keen to try out an RB20 ecu with remap myself...

One question, would an RB20 ecu run everything if put into an R33?

(Other than VCT that is?)

Also, can speed cut be eliminated with a retune? Rev limit changed? Etc etc?

Cheers ;)

Yeah the ecu will do everything the same, speed cut and rev limits can be changed, ecu still has cold start and knock retarding etc.

Cheers for that, will definitely be looking into this at some stage :)

Nice figure.. :D

You plan to throw the slide highflow back on it?

The old saying.... There's no replacement for displacement. :ninja:

yes your nickname says it all :ninja:

as for the highflow i sold it with my rb20 package to fund the 25 conversion, I was going to get another one from Slide but it looks like he doesnt make them anymore..

for now stock will do, might look at garret offerings down the track.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
