Is management needed here...

I know it is desirable, but is it needed? By this I mean will I greatly benefit from this? Could I be possibly harm my engine running how i am now?

I have one of those, "modified in Japan" cars. So I don't exactly know what has been done to it. What I do know goes like this...

Trust TD06-20G, Trust FMIC, Trust exhaust manifold, Trust wastgate (vented externally :cool: ), 5 puck button clutch, Inpul 260kph speedo, Standard computer.

What I also think it has...

Upgraded fuel pump, extra injector, something done to the management (ie no 180kph speed cut. And not brave enough to find rev limiter, it is not at the red line i know that).

It runs happily at 1.5bar. And goes fairly quick now.

I am just trying to justify the cost of this. If it is fine now, why bother? But will it go quicker and more reliably with aftermarket management? Also full boost comes on pretty late (about 4500rpm) if it improved this it would also be very beneficial.

I have been quoted $2200, installed for Autronic. Also is this any good/is there better for the price? has anyone else been in a similar situation and seen the benefits?

Gezzz, you've got a nice list of mods there. I bet it goes good.

OK, I dare say that you have got a remapped ECU there. If your running a big arse turbo and different injectors there is no way the stock ECU will handle them.

The R32 ECU's can be remapped to suit your mods.

I think the best thing to do right now is to find a good dyno (and operator) and run your car up on the dyno. This will show how the A/F ratios are, fuel pressure etc. From there you'll be able to tell if you've got to re-tune it. It would be worth the $50-80 bucks.

If you do need to re-tune it (I dare say the ECU has been mapped for 100 RON Jap fuel), then I think the best, and maybe the most cost effective thing to do is to get the ECU re-mapped again. I "think" some places can do it for around the $6-700 mark.

What does everyone else think about this??? Come on people, have your say :cool::P:P

im in a simliar situation

T04E on HKS manifold with ex gate. FMIC, bigger pump, gtr injectors

currently my management is a remapped ECU and HKS PFC F-Con. ive been considering my options with regard to management. basically YES GET IT TUNED! ive already blown the engine once hehe

anywa the options are remap or run a piggyback fuel controller like a SAFC or E-Manage

remap is good if you dont plan to mod further (is expensive to remap) piggy back is better if youre contiunally modding the car, however they have lmited control as they are only 'tricking' the computer.

it all depends on budget. my budget is relatively small ie 6-700

if youre able to spend in the 000's then go for a full replacement ECU, but expect to spend $3000 approx for fitted and tuned.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
