nice power curve ruby....

Wanna get it much better. Going to take it to either Shaun or Martin and get them to interpret whats going on in that upper part of the power curve. Smooth things out a bit.

The car has been awesome to drive since I did the manual conversion. The improvement in power shows. Now I need to get it onto the track for some fun ... not on the streets kids :P

heres my chart... sorry bout quality, phone pic.

messed up curve huh?

damn dude that looks like a drawing done by a little kid on crack.....why such a bad curve do you know???

the curve climbs up very sharply....whats the reason for that???

standard rb25 computer having a fit because the the boost is set higher than factory... its been doing it ever since i got my boost controller. one day its fine the next it has a fit.

im gonna go book it in for a tune up soon and hopefully with some timing it will smooth out...

i dont remember my car doing any of that and i had the standard ECU in there as well and boosted it up to 13.5psi.....

something else could be the cause of that as well maybe??

I do still have my auto ecu in there, which might be the problem, but it was doing it when the car was still automatic too.

Im not that fussed really, just waiting for some $$ to buy some goodies and put my 30 bottom end in to it.

fair enough.....get a manual ecu and chuck it in there and see if that makes a difference mate.....that thing looks like it will take some getting used to for normal day to day driving lol....

SkyHi_33, the problem is your ECU.

The curves are exaggerated (possibly due to boost hike and/or other mods) but typical of a standard ECU, it is tuned to pass emission requirements at certain revs.

I'm surprised others with factory ECU's haven’t commented that they feel similar power delivery, as its as obvious as dogs balls whenever you drive a standard skyline.

Its more so the fact that its an auto ECU. My Auto stagea has a similar dyno graph. As soon as the boost is increased the ECU puts in extra fuel and retards the timing :) Manuals don't seem to have the problem as bad.

i will try and find a dyno sheet scan it and then post it up here.....coz mine was a much much smoother curve when i had the standard ecu in.....i think the auto ecu acts differently to the manual ecu....and the manual ecu gives you better power delivery

Krishy u think if u get a nistune with an auto ecu that it would have a much better power curve or not?

well my mate put the car on the dyno at his work on friday and we had a little mess around with bits and pieces.

turns out that mine was the worst case of rb25 ecu shitting itself that hes ever seen ahaha. the timing was up at 20 to start off with, we took it back to 15 (standard), did a whole bunch of runs on different boost settings and that doesn't seem to make a difference whatsoever.

it seems that every time the car makes boost, regardless of what psi, the ecu retards the timing which makes the boost spike up to 15psi in the mid range, then drop down to set pressure up top where the fueling continues as normal.

we played around with the afm a bit, and didn't really get anywhere. next step for me is to borrow a few things, swap em over and see if it makes a difference.

my afr's were also quite lean throughout the range... still in the safe margin but i might have to look in to upgrading my fuel system soon.

I need to get my hands on:

s1 rb25 manual ecu

s1 rb25 afm

rb25 knock sensor (just in case its not working properly coz that would cause ecu problems)

hopefully the problem is there somewhere. I know that swapping these things isnt going to completely cure the problem, but its better then trying to drive it as it is... power delivery is all over the place :rant:

i would think that it would all depend on the tune of the Nistune mate....as its a chip that goes on the board it will all end up depending on the tune.....and as i have never seen a nistune at work etc i cant really comment on the nistune...

Might be able to lend it to you marko.....but will be needing them back mate....you will however need the front cover of the ecu....also have a afm that you can borrow as well mate

    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well. 
    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
