Rb20Det Ecu Abilities

Hey all,

I have read on a couple of different forums that the standard rb20det ECU has some tuning capabilities. None of them went into detail to say what type of capabilities though.

I was wondering if it is worth getting a dyno tune on a standard rb20det ECU and what type of things can be changed. Like, does it have the ability to run bigger injectors, different timing, higher boost applications, these kind of things.

I ask because my car is not running right, but it is not throwing any codes with the led on ecu. i believe it is an over or under fueling issue, but i do not want to put it on a dyno if the ecu cant be retuned

Kind Regards,

Michael

Thanks for the reply

Another question, is it worth a dyno run for fault finding with the standard ecu?

The prob I am having is when I hit boost at WOT, I see about 5 pounds until the engine just bogs down and doesnt use the boost. If I accel at say half throttle I can get it all the way but at WOT it just doesnt use the boost.

I am curious as to whether I should stick it on a dyno to find the problem, or if I should fault find the hard way

Kind Regards,

Michael

Sorry to hijack thread.. But I got my r32 (rb20det) tuned with a 'chiptorque' branded chip which was the tuner's shop name that dealt with my car.

My question is would it just be a nistune with a chiptorque sticker..? If that makes any sense :/

I have been told after this was done that they are not the right tuners for imports etc.

The guy that tuned my car said it's NOT a nistune.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
