Hi All,

I have just bought a 93' GTS-T, and it great, but....... its not fast enough. i have been told that i will need to upgrade the computer first as the standard one cant be changed around much. So i am after som info on which computer is best for my skyline. I have been told both these computers are very good, but i cant make a good decsion on the info i have got. Any infomation about this would be very much apreciated.

Also any other helpful fints on what to do to make my car go that much faster would be great.

Thanks

dont post that in here, post in the forced induction area. depends how much power u want. the computer is ok upto a certain power level, then the stock fuel maps and boost limiters / fuel cuts will come into effect and youll be limited to how much you can apply, then you need aftermarket ecu

things you do easily with stock computer

front mount intercooler

full exhaust

boost controller

pod filter in an airbox

apexi safc

then if you want aftermarket ecu you can do

aftermarket ecu

aftermarket turbo

forged psitons

twin plate clutch

and so on...

of course you do them in whatever order or vice versa but best results are experienced like that, ie dont get an aftermarket turbo on stock ecu, the ecu will limit fuel and boost pressure too much

Hi All,

Also any other helpful fints on what to do to make my car go that much faster would be great.

Thanks

Press the far right pedal down further?

Sorry - couldn't resist that one! :rofl:

BTW - probably more appropriate to post questions on the Performance Thread and use the "Search" button - plenty of good info available!

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
