You can see my setup in my signature.

I was in mind to use stock ecu as it is full remapable.. with two z32 mafs.

I have a friend here in Greece that he can map the car with stock ecu and with launch control.

The only I need from an ecu is a launch control and civillized working of my engine with 11-11.5 afr.

Has any problem with this the stock ecu after a remap?

If all theese can give me the stock ecu is there any cause for aftermaker ecu?

I can buy also a brand new LINK Generation 3 ecu that it is very cheap and it can work with stock sensors.. only need an air temp sensor. And with a solenoid can adjust the boost pressure (so if I put the Link, I will sell my apexi avc-r).

But which will be the gainings of an aftermarket LINK ecu for me? For other people that wants more for an ecu will be usefull but for my requirements that I said you?

Your replies will be very important for my choice :down:

Hey buddy,

The factory ECU is as programmable as the Apexi PowerFC or the LINK ECU. Link has not got such a good name over hear but there are also not many tuners that do a decent job in regards to aftermarket ECU tuning, so it may just be that they do not understand it's structure.

The factory ECU will be able to give you everything except launch control but you can buy these as an addon and they work very well. I used a factory remapped ECU in my R32 GTST and made 260rwkw from the RB20. I have sinced moved on to the RB25 (as I had one lying around in the corner or the shed) and will also be using the factory ECU for it. It will be tuned to 600rwkw plus I will be adding gas to it later. Any of the options you have mentioned above will work for you, but the Nissan computer will be the most reliable. You can use the consult interface for diagnostics and if you have someone who can do the remapping for you that is close by, then that is great also. Go with the tuner you trust and the system he or she is most familiar with.

hi,

you should go with whatever ECU option is locally supported, find out what tuners are near you and find out what they use

you would be mad to fit an ECU that on-one locally can tune for you, cos then you are stuck with an ECU that can't be tuned or fixed later

so if you have a local guy who can remap and he is reliabable then this might be your best bet, just make sure you have a dyno and a good tuner

both the G3 link and the factory ecu are good units but it comes down to the operator and application.... even ABE-san from BLITZ in japan (arguably one of the best ECU remappers in japan) found the limits of the fatory ecu in the BLITZ R34 D1GP drift car and needed to go aftermarket (MOTEC in his case)

I have tuner who can install a daughterboard in the stock ecu two have more than one maps!

And he can put in one map launch control map! Not rev limiter... launch control! Theese are what he said me!

paulr33

For LINk we haven't anyone mapper in Greece. Anyone have link ecu waiting an australian tuner to come to Greece some times in a year...!

We have good tuners for power fc but the tuner that tune nissan ecus are quite good too.

URAS

I don't know the jap man that you tell me but what is the limit of the stock ecu? Maybe the limit of the z32 mafs!

You mean Nomura's R34??? Blitz D1 car has stock ecu??? A so expensive car has stock ecu? Are you sure about this?

What horsepower it has?

I will go definately for stock ecu!! :D Nomura have... why not me too?? :D

up until this year yes it had std ecu (now MOTEC), 550ps around about... i reckon a bit more. i speak to BLITZ quite regulary and help do their local product development here is a pic of the owner and the overseas manager (two jap guys) of blitz at a drift prac in melbourne.

while the stock computer is great, I don't understand how your tuner can supply launch control through it - it is just not built in.....

generally launch control is a second rev limit that applies when the car is not moving. PFC base models don't have this either

It is actually one of the easier parts of remapping the stock ecu, depending on the size of the bin file, you can either have two maps on the one eprom, with an external switch, or run two eproms piggybacked with an external switch. Alternatively you can set it up with the clutch switch grounding the water temp sensor, and map it appropriately

URAS this isn't Nomura's blitz r34 right?

Can you post some fotos of the engine please?

Duncan I don't know exactly what he do for lauch control... but in my previous engine ca18 with stock ecu I bought from uk a multiboard with launch control.. but it was simple a rev limiter at 4500rpm! I ask him if he mean rev limiter and he said me.. ofcourse no.. launch control!

Adriano the revlimiter map that I had in ca18 (something like launch control) started with handbrake up (relay at the ground cable) :)

So guys nothing wrong with the stock ecu...! Can manage the engine as safe as an aftermarket ecu! :(

Ofcourse I will choose it as it is also easy way :(

Because I didn't believe that the Blitz, one of the bigger tunning industry in the world use in the D1 Nomura stock ecu I try to find if it is true!

And ofcourse it is :) All blitz projects have blitz access ecu (stock remapped ecu).

Blitz Project R348

Blitz GTRBLITZ know how to explore the potential in the GTR, and have proved it with their latest monster, the R34 Project 348, where they took a road legal modified GTR up to 215 mph on a German Autobahn using parts straight from their catalogue. On the day the car ran, it used 2.3 bar boost (34PSi) and ran 890 BHP...

The 890 BHP engine uses a single KKK turbo charger, 6 x 1000cc injectors, uprated intercooler, induction kit, Nur Spec 'R' exhaust, DSBC boost control, Multi Speed Turbo Timer, Uprated pistons, High performance camshafts,uprated suspension, Blitz Aero bodykit, oil cooler, uprated clutch, Blitz Technospeed Z1 18 inch rims, Brembo 6 pot brakes, and Access ECU upgrade.

Blitz Skyline RB26DETTAll these parts are made by Blitz or made exclusively for Blitz and are available for purchase.

The R34 uses the latest colour Technospeed Z1 rim from Blitz. This unique design of split rim is in a metallic grey/silver colour, and has fine details such as individual gold studs, and a smart Blitz logo centre in matching gold.

The R348 yielded 343KPH which is not enough to break the world record set by the Veilside R34 in Rotorua (New Zealand), but it's still an incredible speed, and it is highly likely that Blitz will continue to strive to beat this awesome record.

You can see the z32 mafs :(

that is not the d1 car but yes it was also tuned by ABE-san. I have engine reciepe some-where for that R348.... a customer wanted the same engine specs in a R32 GTR a few years back.... it ended up at PROTEK to get tuned but i lost contact and never got to see the final result. It had T618Z's on it... i would have prefered to see a T78, K6-900 or T88GK though.

they now use MOTEC M800 as it lacked various niceties (extended peripheral datalogging) were not possible on the std ecu.

URAS Blitz has two project cars..

D1 Nomura rb25 that 2008 runs with motec

and

R348 890bhp with stock remaped ecu as in the fotos

Really cool :whistling:

Do you understand why blitz use stock ecu??

They didn't have money for a very expensive ecu like me? Ofcourse they have unlimited money!

Blitz don't sell ecus like hks, apexi, greddy!

They sell just remapped ecus with blitz sticker..

So they advert stock ecu to don't let the people to pay money for aftermarket ecu that they don't sell.

So as Nomura's D1 car all the years had stock ecu why not to have my car too?

And think about it... D1 car that sure it needs antilag and other abilities of standalones..

Also 890bhp that has the blitz R348 sure they aren't little!

STOCK ECU IS AS GOOD AS ANY ELSE :thumbsup:

just out of curiosity, launch control isnt just a rev limiter is it?

i once read that launch control maps retard the timing and richen up the injectors to produce more exhaust gases whilst reving in neutral to get the turbo on boost earlier or reduce a negative vacumn in a manual car! is this right?

thats why we see japanese drag races revving to redline for quite a while before launching with black pops of fuel exiting the exhaust.

can anyone elaborate?

Yes that is the launch control :thumbsup:

I don't know how do you mean that jap drag cars starts but I will use the launch control with a pussbottun at the knob..

When I am ready to go I will leave the clutch and the button!

Or maybe I will do it with the handbrake.. with the handbrake up I will have launch map... and when I leave it down the car will start!!

That's anti lag, a complete launch control system combines anti lag with traction control. Anti lag spools up the turbo, builds boost with no load on the engine. If you launch with full anti lag on you will be sacrificing horsepower (too much retarded ignition and way too rich A/F ratios). That's why a decent motorsport ECU is essential, to switch between anti lag and traction control on clutch release. Retarding and advancing the ignition timing to control the wheelspin. The ECU can use G forces sensors to detect forward motion or the ABS sensors to detect wheelspin or simply a predetimed engine RPM that correlates with previously tested maximum traction, or a combination of all three.

If you are truly serious about what you are doing then lose the standard ECU, it has nowhere near the accuracy, speed of processing data, logging and functionality that you will need. Restrict your choices to proper motorsport ECU's, you will need full data logging at around 50hz, anti lag, launch control, traction control, soft and hard rpm limiters, ignition interrupt on gearchange (so you can flat change), data analysis software etc etc. The likely units are Motec, Autronic, Pectel, Bosch, TAG, Electromotive etc.

Cheers

Gary

Gary I don't need all theese super functions! I will never use them.

I will not need something more than Nomura haha!! Or R348 Blitz!

The only functions that I need is a launch control and I will have it.

Two maps on the standar ecu and when I will have the handbrake up I will have launch map.. with rev limit 5-6 rpm and with retard ignition and rich afr.. no too much aggresive because I don't need to destroy my expensive T04Z!

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
