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

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
