i just swapped an rb20det into my s13 chassis and got it running today, it runs super rich as is. i have an apexi safc neo hooked up and yes i know that is not enough for tuning. my set up is a z32 maf/afm, walbro 255lph fuel pump, hks 2535 turbo, and sard 550cc injectors. stand alone would be nice but i would prefer to do something more affordable. what options and advice can i have for tuning?

is there any reputable places that do remaps i can send my ecu to, if not i'll just have to save for a stand alone. i will look more into nistune, has anyone ever heard of vipec, a guy locally recomended that to me, im sure you all have heard of his car its the rb26 gtr powered bmw e30.

I see you are in the states.

Nistune are local to Australia. Taking the factory ECU and adding a programmable ROM. A great option for your current level of mods.

Vipec (Link) is a New Zealand product (correct?). They are supposed to be great quality products, but any ECU option is only as good as your tuner. If your workshop of choice is confident in tuning them then go for it. The cost could be twice that of the Nistune, but they are about as easy to tune as the other. (From what I am told).

There are a few threads around here on both the Vipec and Nistune. And plenty of experienced tuners who post in this section.

Best of luck in your choice.

I have a Power FC in my (RB20 Powered) car, but if I had the choice to spend the money now and the Vipec was available when I first went to a full A/M ecu, then I would probably have a Vipec in my car.

the local tuner around here used it for the first time and got that e30 gtr to run good within a half hour, apparently the tuner could not get a good tune, or the car to even run right with aem ems. i went to a drift event today and talked to other rb owners and i was talking about full standalone ems and i guess this guy can remap ecu's and get them to run really close to perfect, he also specializes with rb20 tunes. im gonna try and find him on a few forums, i guess he is carl h. if you've ever heard of him

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
