No thanks..

I am looking at getting another similar for $200 but I have to wait a while for it, so I thought that I could get this one now for the same price..

All I can offer is $200 for the ECU, NO EXCHANGE

Well, I took the plunge and got a remapped ecu.

Picked toshi up after work and headed down to my mechanic to put it onto a dyno. I can only say good things both about toshi and the maps he's put together. I shall post the dyno sheets hopefully on monday, though on the first stock run ;

RWKW - 119

Torque - 546

AFR - 10.35

Speed - 119

After replacing the ecu with a remapped ecu from toshi, the results were ;

RWKW - 145

Torque - 631

AFR - 10.32

Speed - 111

So from the remap I gained another 26rwkw. I guess its still running very slighty rich, the rev range from say 3.5k to 5k is 10x better, so much more throw back. We played with timing alittle, though we started loosing power from 20c+ so we stuck with 17c+.

Mods - 3" exh, pod, 1bar boost, 040 pump (pretty sure thats it now).

Overall everything feels so much smoother so im rather impressed with it all. Engine showed no pinging what so ever.

Any advice or questions shout out...

Still waiting on dyno sheets? I'm extremely interested in seeing how you can make an extra 26 rwkw without changing the fuel map significantly at peak power? was the timing the same before and after cause it's easy to make that power if you were only running 10 deg before? was the boost level the same before and after?

Do you know if the ramp rate was changed at all?

hello ppl,

i got Toshi to do a chip for my R32.

My car's got an APEXi Power Intake + 3" full exhaust with Trust Power Extreme II catback. running 0.8 bar boost.

Before:

Lethargic low end, but big kick in mid-range-top.

After:

A nice bump up in low-end torque, very very smooth revving all the way to red-line. Went for a test-drive with Toshi after the chip was in, instantly had this huge grin heheh. Friend who test drove my car after the chip was put in was amazed how linear the power delivery is now.

Conclusion:

If you're after a good tune for street, circuit & touge, Toshi's chip delivers a good performance boost @ good value. I didn't do a dyno check, but I CBF anyway with dynos. A friend of mine with an S15 has similar tuning, power delivery wise, but he had to spend lots on a e-manage, etc.

what's involved in installing one of these chips? I haven't had experience in putting chips onto ecu, but have some electrical background, and thinking about saving some money while learning how to install one, can anyone provide any info?

and yeah, I wanna get one soon, in a weeks time

MIST - Do you still have the standard R32 GTST fuel pump?

Do you have any aftermarket fueling bits like injectors or regulator?

Are the mods you listed above your only mods?

SIKCAR - It's not a matter of installing chips that is the hard part, it's the programming of the fuel and ignition maps.

You need to have extensive knowledge of how much fuel and air should be programmed to be pushed through at what loads and so on...

AND, you also need to purchase the CHIP burning hardware and know how to work with ROM editors to make the changes to the fuel maps to make it safer and some how BETTER than standard..

Good luck.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
