Hey guys,

It will be a little while off before I get a turbo bolted on...however, I am looking for the right ecu to tune my car. Excuse my ignorance but is it possible to get an ecu that can be used for a car without a turbo and one with a turbo?

Also, I am quite keen to tune my car since I have put the extractors in to make the most of them. Can I retune it, such as advancing the timing, with my stock ecu? Can I do things like increase fuel through the injectors with the stock ecu?

NE info on the ecu would be useful.

Cheers guys.

I was looking up Nistune... I don't know much about it but it sounds like a program you can use yourself. Cool fun!

Do you guys use it?

cheers.

Can you tune the stock ecu without having to get a piggy back?

as above Iv also done the full exhaust plus custom stainless steel intake piping, the car doesn't feel like its running like it should be anymore and just want to get some extra hp and increase response until i can afford to buy a GTT.

Nistune doesnt work with a stock NON TURBO ECU.. on the r34's as ive been trying to get one for a while now on my R34... u need to get the GTT re-flash it then load nistune board then re-flash it and start again - alot of time on dyno + money -

Apexi PowerFC, HKS FCON, Haltech just as some examples are good Standalone systems you could get... if ur going to set up for a big turbo setup then dont go cheap on older ECU's as it wil just have to be more money spent after turbo'ing the car..

I myself am looking for a GTT ecu to do Nistune on mine....

i think you still have issues with putting a nistune on a NA r34 because you can't get the stock tune off the r34 ecu, so it requires a full start from scratch tune rather than just tweaking the stock settings a bit. there was a discussion about this a while back and tuners were having all sort of issues getting it to work. don't know if any of them got it sorted

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
