Hi there,

I'm looking at purchasing a Haltech Platinum Pro plugin ECU for my R33 gtr and i'd like to obtain clarification whether the ECU will support the factory AFM's or totally rely on the MAP sensors. I vaguely recall reading that it can support both but i'd like to find out for certain.

In this respect, does the ECU operate or perform better under a particular setup e.g performance/economy wise? I realise this may trigger a wide debate but it would be good to obtain people's experiences and setups relating to this ECU.

Thanks,

Adrian

I think i may have found the answer to this from haltechs site

"Supports R32 GT-R twin MAF sensors" and " Selectable onboard internal MAP sensor rated to 150kPa (up to 1.5 Bar or 22psi boost)"

So i take it will support the twin afm's. Does anyone recommend the AFM approach over the MAP setup? Im generally looking at keeping the factory airbox thats why im keen on checking if its the preferred approach.

Thanks

An ECU is only as good as the person tuning it. Talk to your tuner and see what ECU/sensor setup they recommend.

The Platinum pro does support twin AFM's, it also has the option of an internal or external MAP sensor.

I have one in my R33 GTR, using the onboard MAP sensor, cold starts are great, idles perfectly, power wise its making 320kws on a run in tune, not sure on fuel economy as I've only put a few hundred kms on it since the run in.

Many thanks guys, this is exactly the type of information i was after. I should really get in contact with my tuner and Haltech direct.

Johno, you mention the internal MAP is working well in your setup. I'd be looking at a similar power figure (is that with the N1's?), but basically what i take from their site is the onboard unit would be efficient to 22psi. I think that is more than adequate on a standard internal engine. Obviously pushing more you would need to revert to the optional MAP sensor.

I think i also have read that the ECU supports two ignition/fuel maps, making it possible to switch between two tunes?

Cheers

No probs, Its working quite well. I will be swapping over to external map shortly and turning up the boost. That's correct 2.5 Bar internal is supported. Im running 2530's but N1's (GTSS or -7's) will get you into that power range with a bit more response.

Yep, you can load maps quite easily. I aim to have 2 maps done, one for street (98 octane & fuel economy lol) and one for E85 when its more consistent & readily available.

Cheers,

Johno

My thoughts exactly johno.

Switching between the two maps; is it as simple as loading up from the laptop? I doubt it would have some sort of an external switch that would allow this, though it would be ideal!

In regards to knock control, i couldn't see anywhere in the spec's whether the unit responds to knock by say reducing power or rev's?

Cheers for the responses they have been helpful :)

You wil have to load via laptop for now.

Live Dual Mapping - Not yet, but I have been told its only a firmware update or 2 away, probably about 2-3 months.

The Pro series does full knock control, long term and short term trimming. It also does long term and short term Fuel control.

It will flash the engine check light each time a knock even occurs and even log it if you like.

And without starting a new topic, are these plug and play into the rb25det series 2? They sound more functional than a power fc... Whats the price on one of these?

Auto tune mmmm. There is an auto tuner for power fc but I ain't have the gonads to try it out. All it needs to work is the wide band and some limits entered by the user. I think it should be an option, its nothing fancy really. Have the ecu know what car its on and let it load up some target afr's and start adjusting til they are met from the wideband feedback. After fueling, give timing until a threshold of knock is heard. Then the user can go over it to adjust anything if necessary.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
