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

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.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
