Hey

I am going to get the GTR an after-market ECU, but I have found many varying opinions, so I wont be suprised if I get the same outcome here, but I am interested in what people (that are enthusiests) would recommend, so I ask you, what brand ECU would you recommend for my 96 R33 GTR. I have found that Advan Performance recommend the Link ECU, http://www.linkecu.com/ , and I have also been told by others to stay away from the Haltec Platinum Pro, do you concur, or do you have another opinion or other ECU recommendation?

Thankyou

Denis

talk to the place where you are going to get it tuned. what they prefer to use is going to be the best option as they will be able to do the best tune on that ecu compared to a different one. the tuners knowledge of the ecu is more important that the type of ecu you get as that will determine the quality of the tune when it comes down to the finer details.

Really it is three main brand choices these days that most people go for in RB's as a plug and play full replacement ECU:

Vipec V44/V88 - Link G4

Power FC (Normal or D Jetro)

Haltech Platinum Pro/E11V2

As said by Marc, speak to the person that is going to tune it and see what they like.

All are good choices. Also comes down to price and what functions you want. Have a good read in the Forced Induction section as these topics have been covered millions of times.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
