hey lads,

Soon i will be putting a series 1 rb25 into my cefiro with the following mods attached.

intercooler, air filter, 850cc high impedence injectors, 040 pump, fuel press reg, hks head gasket, arp bolts, spool rods, acl forged pistons, king bearings, ss high mount, gt3082r (3040) with a .62 rear, profec b spec 2, 40mm ex gate.

Now i am unsure on what computer to go with. this may have been a topic already covered on here and i did a bit of a search but with not satisfactory results. I want to avoid using an air flow meter and im happy to spend up to about 1500 for the computer. I have had people suggest the Autronic, hks fcon is, power fc, haltech. im sorta stumped and would love to get some advice from dudes who have been through this process. any help much appreciated.

Cheers guys.

any particular reason u prefer to run without an afm? otherwise id just say emanage ultimate or power fc ( although power fc u can run MAP), i luv my autronic but it probably will be over kill no need to spend that much.

ben...

Godzilla Motorsport is the dealer for Vi-PEC in Brisbane...contact Mark and he will look after you with both supply of computer, tuning and advice.

The HKS Fcon iS has optional MAP sensor capabilities. I think they are very competitive on price too compared to the likes of the TRUST Emanage and Haltech ECU's in this class.

Give Alex from GT Auto Garage in Brisbane a call. www.gtautogarage.com.au

depends on which tuner you go for

but for the $$ vi-pec or haltech seems very popular

both have antilag/launch control/boost control etc etc

haltech is more pricey though

but i think a power fc d-jetro (map sensor) will be around 2k these days?

(if they make it for your car)

my votes going to go for the wolf v500. but i upgraded from a power fc to one and it was the best thing i've done.

little bit over your price but well worth the cash.

what car?

what power level?

and what exactly was the big improvement?

:P

i got quoted $1400 from gt auto for the hks unit. the issue is not everyone can tune that ecu and i supose that is the same for a few of the options i am limiting myself to. i dont know im still torn on what to get.

I would say. Go and find a reputable tuner that you can and will trust with your car and feel they are the right shop for you. Speak with them and ask them what they would recommend as they are the ones tuning it. I got on here and asked similar questions and they all told me power FC. i went with a microtech as my tuner has told me it will work and he has told me if it does not work he will replace it with something else free of charge. I trust him and he likes working with them over most other things. It depends on there preference. You might pick something take it somewhere and then we will see the horror thread about how you have to pay for them to learn a new product. Makes sense to me

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
