The difference is, the Mine's ECU might blow up the engine via over aggressive timing which even our best 98RON isn't suited for, while the stock ECU won't. Standard ECU will be fine for those mods (assuming stock turbos are fitted).

No. But we can recommend good engine rebuilders in your area if you want to keep using the Mine's ECU.

who do u suggest?

haha, the mines chips i've seen have usually just got more timing and boost speed etc cuts removed

Paul u seem to know abit about the gtrs, should i just keep the mines ecu or get standard? I usually run 15-16 pounds all day everyday no problems, And thats giving it hell most times haha

If you have access to a dyno stick it on and see if the mines ecu is right for your car - if it is yippee if not bin it. BTW while the general opinion is that Mines ecus are only good for the car/engine they were chipped for allegedly some are actually tunable so check that before you consign it to the bottom of the sea.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
