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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
