Hi all,

Im just looking at what ECU to use for my RB25/30. .

I was recommended an Adaptronic by MRC Performance in Castle Hill, however I am not sure what to go with. . (I wanted to get it tuned by MRC however I think Marc only tunes the adaptronic ECU's?)

Ive also been recommended a Haltech E11v2 (add about $800), what about a PFC though?

Looking to spend around the 1kish mark. (If I need to spend extra for a much better ECU, I am happy to do that for 'future proofing')

Josh

Hey mate,

Their are a few good ECUs out there, Haltech, Vipec, PFC, motec etc.. (in no particular order) If your tuner is recommending a Adaptronic, best to go with that. No point buying an ECU your tuner is not familiar with.

The Haltech E11v2 have been phased out and has been replaced with the Platinum series.

Cheers,

Johno

The Adaptronic is an awesome unit.

I've been running one now for quite a while (When my car runs that is)

Currently tuning the car myself, and it's quite easy to use.

Go with it, it has AWESOME support after purchase, and is constantly having new features put in it.

Currently has traction control, launch control, flat shift, etc etc etc, (boost control too)

sounds good. . Ill have to look into it a bit more. . Im still finishing off my build and thought it would be about time to start looking at an ECU. . Ill have to go down to MRC Performance and have a talk to Marc about it :banana:

How much did you pay for your Adaptronic if you dont mind me asking??

The one I run has a RRP of $1000, and from memory the plug in loom + Map sensor was $290 RRP IIRC.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
