hey i have an s13 with a rb20det and i am now looking for an ecu upgrade or piggyback system. I have looked around but i dont know what ecu can do what. i have a front mount, rb25 turbo, gtr fuel pump, full exhaust dump, splitfire coilpacks, ebc and just bought some gtr injectors but i understand you cant run them because of the different impedences. i dont feel like hacking up the loom, have heard you can get aftermarket ecu that with run them with out putting resisters in. have been lookin at the e management ultimate but it is a piggy back system, donno if its good or what? there are other brands like wolf, haltec or pfc but there is none around and they're dear. what you guys think? the car is used for drift, track and my daily cheers

despite the ridiculous amount of crap it cops i went with microtech because it was well priced and i have access to an awesome tuner that i have 100% faith in and it didnt let me down. ive seen a couple of off tap rb20's that running microtech and they couldnt be happier with it

sounds alright how much that cost ya all up?

Have you considered a remap? You dont want to hack the loom for a set of resisters for teh gtr injrctors, but will fit a piggyback or microtech, i dont understand.

hey i am a newbie to ecu didnt know there was that much work to fit one cheers for the info, yeah considered a remap but i want something i can change and tune. Will be upgrading throughout the build

microtech lt-12 comes with a plug&play loom so u dont need to hack anything and for $200 vs. the cost of someone to wire it in (ive been quoted well over $500).

for lt-12, plug&play loom (they put it all in for me, not that it would have been much work) and a full tune it cost me $1800-1900 i cant remember the exact figure.

i'm pritty sure you will still need the resistor pack with the emanage. its just a piggy back. in the end it all comes down to how much your willing to spend, EMU is a good cheap option for the rb20. and it also comes down to who can tune it for you.

will have to look into EMU but yeah it is a drifter so dont wanna go overboard just something i could get good power and save money instead of getting remaps everytime i change something

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
