thanks guys, i just hate funerals... and the wife is ok, it was their time...

wish i didnt have to go to the funeral, would rather be working on a hot engine in a tin shed in the middle of summer...

^^^^

What are you using at the moment Jeremy?

You just had a highflow installed, didn't you?

Still stock everything ATM, but I have plans for hi-flow R34 turbo and nistune...... plus this, plus that, then that and then another that.

Keen. Got harness and everything needed for it? How much you want for it?

You can keep your spark plugs :P

So you just wire that harness into the car's loom then off to the tuner? Is there wiring info on the cd?

I shall consult with my official mechanic when he gets back from the sticks and let you know.

Col, not good mate. Just make sure you look after yourself and your wife.

McFly, what ECU are you running? A Chipped 33 unit? The SAFC might not allow you to do much besides trimming some of the fueling points. They work great on stock management if you want to up the boost a little on a 'stock' setup.

McFly and Jez, Nistune is the best option in my opinion as it keeps things looking stock and gives you the same *or similar* level of tunability to that of a PFC. Being that you both have 33 setups (McFly I'm assuming you're running S1 33 ECU and loom - or is it a fiddles 31 setup?), The Nistune requires a little jiggery-pokery to work. You will need a Type 2 Nistune Board and a 32DET Ecu or a Z32 DET/DETT board that requires some internal modifications. The mods alter the firing order of the injectors and trigger for the coilpacks.

Type 2 boards with Nistune software go for $420 + GST, then you'll need to find yourself a 32 ECU which I'd allow for $100. Misso might have his laying around somewhere, so bug him. I can solder the board into it for you no worries. The software is nice to use giving you easy options for upgrades. Select the type of airflow meter you have installed and what injector size and it will trim the maps to give you a good base to start from - in a tuning sense.

As for turbos, the more understated it is for a daily street car the better. That 3076R is a nice turbo. A mate of mine had it one with a machined out T28 .63 rear housing on his twin cam 2ltr MX6. The thing laid down 425hp atw. Problem with his was that it was internally gated. Boost control became an issue. That turbo requires it to be externally gated and I think with the housing size will be a let down if you want to keep the same sort of response you have currently.

A complete bolt on kit like a GT-RS or a high flow will be the better option IMO for a street car. I would lean towards the highflow as it can be passed off as`stock and means you don't need to fiddle pipework, etc to fit.

*end book*

Yeah chipped S1 33 ECU

Yeah mine is essentially a 33 S1 engine loom, just minor fiddling to get it to mate up to the 31 main loom. Nothing that would affect the ECU.

I could find an R32 ecu (looks at ute)... but doesn't that lose the VCT or something?

So in short what you are saying is: it will be a bit laggy?

I would rather have better response than a few moar killa wasps, so I might stick with the high flow option.

A properly good tome, that was.

If you want to keep the VCT you have to go with the z32 ecu.

Just called 'bribane turbo and tuning' or something like that, over at the gabba

To rebuild stock rb25 turbo, assuming parts are available, around $700

To steel-wheel: extra $350ish

To rebuild, high flow & steel wheel: around $2000

Poooooooop.

I didn't think they rebuilt turbos themselves. Pretty sure they source it out. GCG has a great reputation and pretty sure they do their highflows for less.

Hypergear appear to be gaining popularity with their cheap highflows, but I am not sure what their reliability is like.

True... funnily enough I just came across your ad on boost from November, selling an Rb25 turbo. You still got it? I might be keen, to send off to hypergear/GCG to high flow it...

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
