i have a rb20det swapped s13. the setup i am needing a tune for is:

hks2535 turbo

z32 afm

sard 550cc injectors

walbro 255lph fuel pump

i will also be running 93 octane

the car starts and runs terribly rich i also have a apexi safc neo for minor corrections.

here in the states (buffalo, New york) i am having a hard time finding someone who can tune an ecu by mailorder. there is one tuning shop by me that specializes in dsm and subaru, but i would like them to be my last resort as they will have to do some costly dyno tuning in a car they dont really know.

i would like to get a good first time tune that will not require me to be sending the ecu back and forth to austrailia more than one round trip.

let me know thanks,

ken

There are a couple of guys on here that do it i think, but how confident are you at live-tuning your own car? Because you could send it over here for the initial tune, but if something happens then you will need to send it over again and i imagine it would make it very hard to sort out because the tuner wouldn't actually have your car. So if you can live-tune it yourself then that might save some hassles.

But i think Status Tuning do it, you could look them up. Or have a look in the national for sale section, i remember seeing something in there about it :ermm:

If you get something like Nistune installed, there's a fella on here called Toshi who does a really good job.

Can be done via Email. He will send you the files and you upload them to your ECU and bingo. There will be a bit of back and forth and some road testing but it's a damn site faster than snail mail.

Is 93 the highest octane fuel available there?

alternatively, depending on what equipment you have, shoot guilt toy a message, he's tuned ecu's over the internet in the past. it might not be possible in your instance, but you dont know until you try.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
