Nothing wrong with getting the ECU first. Then you can do allt he mods you want and tweak it as you go.

:D

why Haltech? your best bet is to find a good tuner and then use the ecu they reccomend, i know a few tuners in Perth who refuse to touch Haltech and reckon the tune jumps around (afr's all over the place on back to back dyno runs), they also say its the shittest software ever to tune with, but thats personal opinion i suppose.

Send me a PM with who u planning on using to tune if u have found someone and ill give u some advice who not to use :P

If it was me i would use the EMS 8860 for $1600 i think it is, great ecu and great value, a few mates are running them and reccomend them 100% and i know a great tuner in Perth as well who does them :down:

is yours auto or manual i forgot now?

Hey dave (NYTSKY) i assume u are talking about Adam from JEM? if i had a good haltech tuner in perth i would have used the haltech for sure but the person i wanted to use refused to touch it and told me to keep the autronic i had in the car, i know of a tuner in perth who does haltech (not many haltech tuners in perth) and he swears by them but he has a few issues lately with bad tuning (his fault not the ecu) and i got cold feet and decided against using him, and the other haltech distributor told me they had a few issues with them as well in the past, but as i said if i had someone who could verify the car would run perfect i would of used it. In Perth finding a decent tuner is hard enough without having to find one who does Haltech as well.

Jippa goto Ovaboost in Malaga, Mick is the owner/tuner and highly regarded in Perth, he is the best tuner i have dealt with and ive used alot of them, he is the EMS distributor. Tell him u got reccomended him by Brad with the rb26 stagea and he should look after you. He does my autronics tuning and he is a top bloke and listens to what u have to say and doesnt carry the usual "im better than everyone else" attitude ive dealt with in the past with other tuners. He does some killer cars as well, his own 2jz makes 900rwhp, a 900rwhp centura turbo, a 780rwhp rotor, a couple of 600hp rb26s, a 570hp rb25 and a few 480hp sr20s to name a few.

unique1 - Just a quick question ... if you have an autronic why would you want to go a Haltech .... Autronic is a much better ecu then haltech ... Its just hard to find anyone who knows how to tune them.

hey mate i had a motor issue and decided to use another tuner and he hated autronic and reccomended haltech so i bought all the stuff (e11v2, ls1 coils, map sensor, loom, etc) and then changed my mind on the tuner and used another tuner who said he hates haltech and autronics is perfect and nothing wrong with it so i kept the autronics and cdi and msd cdi coil setup which made life easier for me not having to wire up the haltech :blink:

Autronics tuners are hard to find especially in Perth, every tuner loves some ecus and hates the rest and the next tuner loves the opposite ecus and hates the ones the last tuner loved so its just personal opinions i suppose and they always would rather be using software they are more familiar with.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
