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.

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...

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
