Hi guys/gals

who is ur best tuner from ur experience? anything from remaping ur stock ecu, piggy bag and stand alone computer..

please stated ur set up (ur ecu and ur tuner)?

i'm thinking about getting my stock ecu remap with these mods:

- R34 turbo

- FMIC

- Walbro fuel pump

- 3inch turbo back with hiflow cat

- Manual boost cont (setting @ 13psi)

- Pod filter

will it be ok with remapping stock ecu or need an after market ecu? (i'm not gonna do any more engine mods, that's it!)

Cheers

If it's a remap then your options are limited straight away as not everyone can do them. Try unigroup at girraween, I've been told they have the nistune/plms gear so can real time tune your stock ecu.

A remap is fine, provided you get the right one. I would only recommend a tuner with real time tuning of the stock ecu, which in nsw seems to be very limited. DrDrift has a different version but unless he has someone full time based in sydney these days i wouldn't bother.

Everyone will offer their 2 cents in these types of threads. Sadly though, (me included) most of us wouldnt know a good tune from a bad tune, and some are too proud to admit that their tune is not perhaps great.

So i would recommend speakign to all the workshops mentioned and satisfying yourself that the people you are using are best for you.

Personally i would only use Quick Fit Motorsport in Hornsby (they looked after my R31 GTSX) or SAS who looked after my mates 200SX which had lots of Nizpro goodies. In both cases the tunes made good power and were reliable. A good tuner will be able to read big picture and only tune your car for what power level will be reliable. SAS can do the std ECU, only they are not cheap. When they were looking at my RB20 with the TD06 (when i lived in NSW) i was looking at about $1200 tuned

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
