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.

    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
