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')

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)

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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
