ECU tuning

Hi everyone, I bought light tune R34 GTT, and now I am thinking to buy a engine management and Blitz boost controller i-color DS for that. Here is the story

I went to A-tuning workshop, I saw they do import skyline mainly around 90% in their stock. So I asked them which I should go for, then they told me if the best is Vi PEC, and it will be around 2000-2600 include tune, or nismo tune, it is around 1000 include tune.

I was thinking go for nismo one, cuz if any changes in the future, I don’t want to change it by myself, I don’t have the knowledge and I don’t want to learn how to tune it via Vi PEC, I think is complicated, but for the nismo one, I can’t do any adjust by myself, so is mean once I tune it, and if I make any changes, I need to go back and pay for tune, but for the ViPEC I have the access ability. At last they suggest me to go for the nismo tune, cuz I will not make any changes in the future even I do I will go back for tune

Then few days later

I went to B-tuning workshop, I told the same thing to the owner, then he suggest me go for power FC (about 2000 they said), but as I can remember power FC won’t do any better then Vi PEC, and in total ViPEC cost a bit less, so then I ask him about Nismo, he suggest me to save that money and buy power FC, he said ViPEC is ok, but only problem is only 1 guy is expect to operate it, and Nismo tune is not really for 34, it won’t totally match up and if it’s 33 or 32 he will suggest that, but not 34.

Also when I asking about boost controller, he said I don’t need any if I bought power FC, just set the psi to max (which is around 11-12psi for stock turbo), but the blitz DS have muti-psi function, so is mean you can set different psi in different rpm, then he disagree and tell me that if I set the psi to max, I can use my foot to adjust the psi when I step the pedal. So at last B-tuning think I should get the powerFC and A-tuning for Nismo. Also A-tuning told me after I vist B-tuning, Nismo only not for 33, sure will match up for 34, and they still insist to get Nismo.

OK, so anyone in here know more about ECU tuning than me, I need some help down here.

P.S I am not tell which workshop, I don't want to state which workshop is wrong or not

personally i would go a nistune. should cost you about $1000 (so half that of the others) including tuning. being half the price doesn't mean it is only half as good. it will do pretty much everything you need it to do. then you can put that extra $1000 you saved towards other mods and come out much better off.

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
