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? :blink:

I don't understand what you're saying.

I don't understand what you're saying.

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.

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...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
