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!

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
