How are peoples results using nistune for RB26s? If you are using it on your RB26 please post engine mods and results (dyno), can't see many if any in the RB26 turbo upgrade thread.

Are there any limitations when compared to other standalone ECUs (e.g. ViPEC, PFC)?

I'm using one on my R32 N1, no drama's at all.

Only mods on my car are a cat-back exhaust, pods, and boost controller. Of course being an N1, it has the N1 turbo's as well.

So far it's performed without a fault. No cold start issue, no anything really.

I spoke to a fair few tuners and in the end, for someone like me who is not going to be endlessly modifying the car, the Nistune was perfect. I'm trying (really hard :banana: ) to keep my car close to stock.

Price wise, can't remember exactly but it was less than $700 including ECU and dyno time.

Here's is a copy of the tune. We stopped at 276kw as the AFM's were maxing out.

Thanks for the reply looks like a good result, very helpful, especially the note on cold start as these features are critical for a regularly driven car.

I would have preffered to keep my car very stock except I had the unfortunate experience of stock turbos failing and taking out the engine. So now i'm running a forged engine, 2860-5's but most of the rest of the engine is stock (dumps, front pipes, AFMs, injectors, head). Although in the future, once my wallet recovers (if ever) the aforementioned items will likely be changed to allow higher power - hopefully close to 380awkw eventually. So I am really curious to see if and how nistune will handle those types of changes - AFMs and injectors particuarly - whilst maintianing the factory ECU hardware. Anyone using nistune who has changed AFMs and/or injectors (especially GTR's)? could you please comment on drivability with these changes.

Keep the results and comments coming. :banana:

My 32 GTR is dead stock except for K&N panel filter, nismo front pipe, catco 3" ceramic hiflow cat and apexi catback and adjustable cam gears (set for midrange torque): 199kw/290Nm at the rears .. it still needs to go back and finish the tune with my replacement EBC

Hi there from London ..

I have the same question ->

"What ECU are you using??"

I was told there is no Nistune for the R33GTST ..

Cheers,

Andrew

I'm running a r32 (rb20) ecu and i still have all the VCT the only hick up was the TPS due to different sensors in the r33 and r32 gear boxes (when it is and isn't in gear).

Not a major hasle just got the boys at EFI performance to fix it up for me and problem solved

Interested to see how the vct works on rb20 ecu?

True most forget that small (but useful) feature :pirate:, the funny thing is ive had about 4 microtech's come through here lately done by a microtech dealer all had no VCT switching..... :) and the power graphs were shit house, you would see a few too yeah?

was thinking of using NIStune to run a r32 gtr ecu on my vl turbo. aside from coils on plug and twin mafs what other features does the gtr have over the vl. could you install vl turbo base tune on the the r32 nistune board.

that would be the easy way.

but the thoery was to delete the dizzy and run coil on plug, plus th gtr runs twin MAFs. two standard vl mafs would read higher HP than a single z32 maf and have better flow. and easier to upgrade to a twin cam head later.

was quoted $1150 for an R34 GTT nistune + dyno tune .. considering they're $260 seemed kinda excessive. What has everyone else paid for a dyno tune with their nistune ? Car's pretty much stock ..just the turbo back exhaust and a bit of extra boost (11.5psi)

im also running nistune got it fitted and tuned for $750 at chasers in melbourne. my gtr makes 200awkw (check RB26 thread) runs bigger injectors, greddy ebc spec II and exhaust everything else is stock.

After the tune i seem to be getter better fuel economy. but at the same time if i push it hard i use alot more fuel (probably cos of bigger injectors and boost though).

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
