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?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
