could someone give me some advise on a aftermarket ecu for a rb20det with a r33 turbo ???

Depends on what you're looking for. They all vary in options. Have a read through and that should give you a better idea. Also, let us know what you want out of the car and the guys can advise on what could be appropriate.

Iv got this ecu that im not to sure about in a 32 that i recently bought. It looks original except this Gold Mine's Plate and some warrenty stickers around the edge. Iv gotten alot of advise to ditch this ecu. Im leaning toward going out and getting a stock ecu

do you still want to buy a PowerFC? mine was in my 1996 R33 GTST

 

I also have a Z32 AFM for sale too if your interested at all?

Don't have cash atm. This is something I won't be able to afford this until mid next year.

it all really depends on exactly what you will want from it. future mods, tuning adjustment, how much you want to spend, etc..

They are all different and better in their own ways.

It's all been covered in various treads, so i suggest starting with spending hours reading through them as most people won't want to repeat themselves again and again and again. Recently I have read about some nistunes not working for unknown reasons also some PFC having problems with the not so old models, as compared to the old ones, lol..

But basically you first need to know what you want in the end, then find the appropriate steps to get there. Or at least an idea of what you want from each piece as you source it..

As stated here man ,

News to figure out what you want out of the car in the end..

As I say to most people ecu is important spending the few extra dollars on something like a vipec for example for future mods.

Alot of people have gone pfc nd Nistunr just to end up spending money in another ecu down the road with their future mods

I am chasing 300 rwhp and I have an RB20 with a 2860rs turbo, I have a nistune ecu, 660cc injectors, and a z32 afm to put in it. Best thing about nistune is it is still a factory ecu and has cold start built in so it will save you in tuning.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
