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.

    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
    • And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.
    • No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.
    • Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
