Rb26 Pfc D-jetro Vs L-jetro

[snozzle]

Hello all,

Im aware of the obvious differences between the two versions of ecu's however im not quite sure which setup will be best for me, car is a daily driver pretty much.

car is a 33 gtr and has -7 turbos, stock afms and stock airbox, stock injectors, tomei dumps and full exhaust

pros for d-j i can think of atm are:

-same price as l-jetro off a friend

-can upgrade to topmount setup without worrying about twin air flow meter setups

cons

-i need to remove the afms and put straight thru pipes to the airbox? or can i just leave them there?

-take off the intake plenum drill and tap for map sensor feeds (not sure on where exactly is the best location, any suggestions?

-doesnt like small changes in hardware/environment and may affect performance in a bad way? will need to be tuned more often?

pros for l-jetro

-plug and play, no need to touch anything in the engine bay

cons

-will need to spend money on z32s

-if upgrading to topmount will also need special piping to split the intake into 2 smaller pipes to suit the z32s

I can buy both ecus for roughly the same price, the d-jetro with all sensors etc off a friend, or the l-jetro off a dealer brand new for roughly the same price.

Basically i want to know the difference in driveability between the two ecus if tuned correctly by the same tuner and also if i would get the same max power and same response.

Ive herd some people complaining about bogging down in low rpm / not so great response but good when on boost with a d-j?

Im inclined to think the d-jetro is better but i want to know what the experts, that have experience regarding tuning 26's, have to say

Cheers.

Tbh i would fit a r32 ecu and nistune it as the set-up is mild, but if you plan on upgrading later on to top mount set-up then D-jetro is a good bet.

Thanks for that idea, i will talk to tuner in regard to that option also.
