This question is for all the guys with r32's that still have a rb20det.

What ecu are you guys running??

I have been thinking about getting either an aftermarket ecu or getting my standard ecu remapped.

For aftermarket ones i was thinking ap engineering, if i can find one, or something elsebut not sure what else yet. the problem is they all have an initial outlay on top of the tunning which is why im thinking more along the lines of getting my standard ecu remapped and that way i still keep all the standard protections in the standard ecu. I have heard good things from remapped ecu's making basically the same power etc etc

Just want opionions on what some others have done. For those that have a standard ecu remapped where did you get it done and roughly how much did it cost??

gettting my stock ecu remapped was the best around 390$ (ALL UP chip,tune) i have ever spent on my car.. btw.. i got a remapped done (with a Generic tune for basic bolt on mods ect.. u know, fmic, fuel pump, fuel reg, splitfires, rb25 turbo @ 13psi, 3" split dump zorst ect ect.. i told him wat i had.. he did it, and mailed to me... the guy was off SAU his name was.. CEFFIE or somthing :P.. but really u just want that remapped chip just so it removes like the stock limits ect.. like 180km speed cut, boost cut, and rev limit raised abit and air fuel ratio changed to around 12:1 or somthing cant really remember lol... THEN i went an got my car dyno tuned (prolly just fiddiling with fuel reg n shit to get it spot on ect.. and u get real time diagonostics ect.. that($280 INC service @ hi torque).. (got fine tuned getting it safe and strong, after that.. 220kw ftw.. :) def way to go bud. :) BUT!!! u know.. if u got the cash.. Power Fc would be awsome..2k later :P:thumbsup: they are rare as f*k! For the rb20 lol:(

Already have all my limits take out (boost cut, speed limit, rev cut) so just after the tune to get my car running just right and get a bit more power out of her.

And for 1700+, what it costs to buy the power fc, i can probably have a couple of tunes done and have a bit of money left over.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
