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.....

stock one looks awesome.. here's my engine bay

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 ;)

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
