Hi guys and girls just want to no what's the better ecu to run on my r33 gtst s2 my minds been in limbo for months now wondering what ecu to buy and what's your experience with the brands Or any other suggestion my setup gonna be hi flow turbo bosh 040 fuel pump z32 afm not sure on what size injectors to run oh and has anybody had experience with those forward facing plenuims on eBay are they any good.

go for cheapest.. probably PowerFC

HOWEVER, Haltech has about 1000000000x more features:

- flex fuel

- launch control

- anti lag

- flat shifting

- boost control

- internal map sensor, ditch AFM

- closed loop knock, wideband O2, etc.

- IAT input

- no need for stupid data logit boxes, direct USB

I personally would go Haltech, not bother with those dim sim Plenums and use the stock one.. afterall you're only using a high flow, which does not warrant a plenum upgrade.. save that money for a proper mechanic diff.

Thanks Luke and John haltech it is, would this be a good ecu if I wanna keep going crazy on power upgrades lol on the dim sim plenium but I hate the the look off the stock one it makes me wanna close the bonnet lol

Hating the look of the plenum isn't enough of a reason to change it and lose torque.....

halthech will grow with you.

Last my engine was running, I was at 445rwkw.

And there are plenty more with higher power then me.

As i said though, go the platinum pro plug in.

Seems to have a better feature set.

The sport 1000 doesn't have support for more then 4 coils from memory.

Think i shall be seeing JEM for the Halteck on myS2 R33 with my hiflow i recently got. Already saw a 49kw increase atw with the stock ecu and an avcr controller on the same 10psi that the stock turbo was running. The halteck can also support the very sexy looking racepack dash later on ;)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
