Hey just got a stock S1 R33. I'm looking for a cheap ecu upgrade just like plug and play just until i get more money for a decent one and get a tune.

How are 'Mines' Ecu's?

Also auto and manual have diffrnt ecu's right?

Can I buy a used one and plug it in and drive? Or is there more than that?

Cheers guys. Appreciate the help.

More to it, ecus need to be tuned to your motor and settings, always a risk running someone else's tune. Is your car and auto or manual as they are different and that affects what you can get. If manual something like a power fc or adaptronic select would be great, nistune can be done yet is a stuff around using different ecus either an r32 with rpm switch or a 300's ecu.

base maps are pretty good if you buy a good ecu like a Haltech or Link.

but a full standalone is pretty overkill for a stock car.

whatever you do, don't buy a 2nd hand ECU and try to run it without seeing a tuner first. It could nuke your motor in the first pull if tuned for a dissimilar setup

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      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.
