Pretty much a little chip that they can solder into your ECU to get access to tune it, mainly done on V6 commodores etc when you want a slight tune. Think of it as a greddy emanage kind of thing.

For the cost of it to get some one to put it in and tune it, your better off just buying a Power FC or emange, never heard of any one running one on a skyline and probably for good reasons. Don't think it could take away rich and retard etc so pointless.

dont be a bunch of gays :)

its a piggyback ecu, not an actual chip

ive got one in my car. was in there when i bought it.

does timing and afr's. so its better than an safc. pretty sure it can handle bigger injectors too.

all in all, theyre not too bad, but very few tuners tune them (or like them). something about being licensed with unichip.

but i found a tuner in sydney that knows these very well from back in the day when they were actually popular.

i'm happy with the results. wouldnt bother swapping it out for anything less than a decent standalone.

in your case, seeing as its not installed, i would probably go for a more popular ecu, simply for the ease of finding a tuner, and having more options in that regard.

btw, r&r isnt an issue. stock turbo at its limit. and all is good.

this is the one i'm talking about

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
