remapping an rb25 computer is dearer than most other nissan remaps.

The only person remapping rb25det ecu's i think is Dr Drift others are adapting other ecu's to the rb25det.

Hey guys,

ive done a few mods to my 33 and want my standard comp re-map instead of buying a power fc caus they are way 2 $$$.

any ideas?? im in tassie...

thanks,

Deano

My advice would be to save your pennies for a Power FC.

A) Good investment

B) The PFC will make most of future mods

C) Get one with a hand controller

ive been told to only get a remap caus im not doing anymore mods... and to save the coin.... or any other things i can do??

Get a Nistune daughter board installed into the factory ECU. $1000 for install and dyno tune. Just as good as a Power FC - only downfall is no hand controller. MRC Dynos at Castle Hill, Sydney. Call Mark.

yes im interested in this as well, im looking at nistune, or a power fc,

i wanna get the pro's and con's of each 1.

but i can't seam to find any threads with pro's and con's in it.

i have the money for a power fc, but im so tight i just don't wanna spend it.

if i can get a nistune done for half the price.

any1 have any pointers

im in the same situations as well! im trying to call

Got my car remapped at Status Tuning (Trent)

$750 - Got 185rwkw only because my boost drops to around 8psi after 4500rpm but i'm easily in the 200's if i can keep boost a consistent 10-11psi. So i'm hunting a boost controller.

I'd HIGHLY consider getting Trent to remap your car if a remap is what you're after. He can tune anything (aftermarket ECU) but i reckon remap is a good, cheap option (especially for 34's).

Same as Dr Drift, live tuning, meaning you can get it tweaked again whenever you want.

9792 3333

i also called up Dr.Drift but they are to exspensive! over 1k PLUS TUNNING 600. might as well get a PFC . But then i called up EAS and told me to get a Wolf 3D .. they said it was incredable? So i dont know. I would prefer the PFC to be honest.. but i dont have much mods so i think im going to RemAp...

Same deal ^^

I ended up getting a nistune daughterboard + dyno tune, 169.1rwkw but i'm limited by lack of a boost controller. Will be seeing how it goes with a new fuel pump, fpr, injectors, garrett hi-flow. My tuner has said I should expect around 260-280rwkw with that combination.

toshi FTW

500 bucks gets you over 200kw at the wheels. professional real time tune. no point paying anymore than this amount for the same result that a $2000+ pfc or other ECU will do if ur only looking to run standard turbo.

nah anyone can do it, its just not worth remapping it UNLESS IT is LIVE tuneable.. i refuse to do anything that is not live tuneable. There are plenty of options and tuners who can do it.

Are you sure you heard him correctly cause i have had this done (by dr drift) and as well as ecu daughterboard and tune he had to stuff around for a while with my actuator (cut it shorter, weld a threaded rod and drill and tap the other side to make it adjustable instead of bend it like i would have lol) and he charged me around half of the $600 you saying just for the tune!!!! I'm going back tomorrow for another tune as well as new injectors and z32.

Is this in melbourne OMY-33?

no sorry gold coast mate.

EDIT: a member on here put me onto them, altho not sure wether it's an r32 ecu with the daughterboard or not, i'll call them up 2morro and let u guys know

running a drdrift remap here 182 rwkw on 10 psi....happy with it, but she still needs a little more dyno time, that and around 10k dropped in the bay to make the whale go quick enough... :cheers:

just got off the phone 2 efi, they put and rb20 ecu in and tune it with the nistune, down fall is u lose your

variable timing adjustments,

or you can get a vg30 i think it was, where you keep every thing.

any ways rb20 is $375

plus dyno time, which is about 2-3 hours at an estimate. $175 an hour.

if you wanna go higher in kw, afm and reune evey mod pretty much.

so i might save my money and get a vg30 ecu and get it tuned.

Another downfall is idle control as the RB20 needs additional inputs from a idle switch rather than just the RB25 potentiometer, but if it's not a daily driver it's hardly a problem...

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
