I hope to run my RB30/RB26 up over the weekend to check it runs and iron out any leaks that may occur. I wanted to know if I will be safe running it on the RB26 Apexi ECU base map or if I need to tweak some fuel settings to be safe? I have a hand controller. No datalogit. The engine has 700cc Sard injectors which I can plug into the hand controller and I am leaving it on stock MAF's for now. I have Q45's to put on but I gather they are a little tricky to work with on an RB26 ECU as they are not an option. Anyway that is a different thread all together.

If I can change some settings to richen it up a bit I would appreciate some brief instructions. alternatively if there is a self learn function that will work for the idle please let me know.

Thank you

Lee

Dude, I spoke to you on GTR UK....

I will help you get your car in a running state to take to your tuner. After i am finised with it you will be able to drive it and not have to trailer it..

Add me to MSN like i suggest on gtr.co.uk

We will sort it out.

If you need a decent tuner, I am for hire and not very far away ATM

Hi there Anthony,

I had a hectic weekend and didn't quite get where I wanted to hence I have not been in touch. I will add you to my MSN tonight with any luck and have a chat. Thanks again. I guess you are no in Australia at present then?!

Regards

Lee

Don't mean to be negative but unless you know what your doing (I don't mean fuel air spark. I mean knock, degree's, temp, fuel pressure, reading plugs and hearing the slightest ping/miss) then don't play with your hand controller. Performance engines are very fragile in the wrong hands and temptation to take out some fuel or add some timing so you can put your foot down just half way is always going to end badly if something else is already playing up that you don't know about. Set the controller to view knock, temp and oil pressure and be ready to turn off the key if your playing with it yourself.

Trust me. I Have no intention of playing with it myself! Purely want to start it up and make sure it runs okay and has no big leaks! Aims is to richen my base map to be double safe for the few seconds it will be running!

Thank you for the warning though.

i put a stock power fc on my rb2530

the base map was perfect!*

went hard and fuel was spot on

*this is a massive fluke

I ran my 25/30 on a stock RB20 ECU for a few months with no dramas. Stock afm was maxing out about 6000rpm but because the 25 turbo was choking the engine at 5800rpm it wasn't really an issue.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
