Need Advice On Tune

[TTT]

if the OP is in sydney, I'd suggest you chat with toshi (who will do a road tune or dyno tune.. whatever you want - and cost you around the $300) or because your mods are the usual budgets mods (rb25 turbo, exhaust, filter, fuel pump, boost), CEF11E can give you his generic chip which he used when he had those mods on his own car for whatever he charges.

Someone said $100.

that's like a tank of fuel in sydney these days..

EDIT - Toshi has his own little advert in the trader section..

Ok i got my hands on 3 Dr Drift eproms. I gotta try them all out, pick the best and send the other 2 back.

It seemed stupid to desolder/resolder each chip after each run.... would this zif socket be ok to use? will it fit in the ecu case ok?

you shouldnt have to desolder and resolder. thats an old way of doing things, which, although it still happnes, i think its pretty rare....

So are you saying i should get the zif socket? Or are you saying that the stock chip will not need to be desoldered?

I don't understand what you're saying.

[esky_mad]

so whats better ? a nistune or a remap ? im very confused as i thought they were the same thing!!

sorry wasnt sure how you wanna go about doing things. buy a nistune daughterboard, plug your laptop into it, tune it, done, no removing the eprom to burn it etc

nistune is retuning the factory computer, just like a remap, i dunno wtf the difference is either, nistune just seems to be the best way of tuning the factory comp

Oh ok. Nah i've already got 3 eproms from dr drift and am going to install those. People wanted $900+ to do the nisTune + tune. And i'm just using an rb25 turbo for the moment so spending that much on the tune seemed pointless at this stage.

nistune daughter board is like $250, install at the very most would be 50 (if you getting ripped off) plus a tune. whoever is charging you 900 + tuning has got his hand on it

[Adriano]

I think its $900 fitted and tuned

[Adriano]

That zif socket is the ideal way to go if your changing chips

Get a 28 pin dip machined socket from nearly any electronics shop for around $1, fit neatly inside factory ECU, the ZIF sockets nearly all hit on the ECU casing as they're larger...

Remap = Nistune: just different roads to get to the same destination...
