Hey i really need to know who can rechip the standard ECU in an R32 GTS-T.

In sydney preferably!

I cant find anyone other than SAS, although i have heard nothing but good reports about their work, i really cant justify spending $1500 for a rechip, as its possible to buy and tune a PFC at that price.

so anyone who knows a workshop in sydney that performs this work please let me know!

cheers!

where can you get a PFC for a R32 paid for and tuned at $1500??

I believe my car has been tuned by toshi, previous owner had it done when new turbo was put on. Its a R34 turbo, but has a R33 map. I want to get it tuned for a R34 turbo, because correct me if im wrong but they different turbo's (same size i know)

well you can get a PFC from Nengun and Greenline for about $1,000 and quite a few workshops will tune the PFC for around $400-$500.

If i had that sort of money for my engine management i wouldnt hesitate, unfortunately my budget on thie area is more like $750.

and regarding turbo, i dont think there is a huge difference between the R33 and R34. well not enough to warrant spending $1500 on a rechip. just go buy a HKS2530 for that :cheers: thats what i got, and im making 210rwkw on the standard ECU. will see what a tuned ECU can produce.

interesting.

well i was running 1bar also. i have upgraded fuel pump and reg, but standard injectors.

but i havent skimped on any of my other upgrades. i did use an SAFC II but didnt gain much up top with that, more midrange.

i posted my dyno sheets etc after installing the 2530. and got 280rwhp (208rwkw) ill do a search and find it again, it was actually cutting out at around 5800rpm (maxing out AFM i signal think) otherwise ill re-scan it and post it tomorrow.

My car has always made pretty good power, even with the standard turbo it made 220rwhp (165rwkw) at a dyno shoot, there were a couple of others running similar mods that didnt even get over 200rwhp.

Could you think of any reasons why it makes more? not that im complaining!

I guess your ECU probs are robbing you a fair bit of power. whats the prob with it?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
