New Import - How To Tune A Mine's Ecu

[TMLP]

Hi all just bought my Stagea (Stagea-C34-Autech-260RS-WGNC34) wanted one for too many years, stepping out of a BMW X54.6IS worked,

I have uploaded a gallery of images.

So far I have just replaced the Japanese head unit with motorised Clarion DVD iPod Reverse camera,amp & aub etc...

Many many mods from Japan major step is to get the power turned back on... MINE"S ECU Apexi Exhaust Sards hi-flow cat, Garrett turbos, fuel rail, injectors, HKS ignition,G-Racing coil overs, alloy front upper arms, Alloy wheel hubs, 2 piece VOLK RAYS, so much more I'm still finding...

Need help on unleashing he power... I'm in Newcastle & need a good tuner, I've had a complete inspection at the mechanics & everything is spot on but is is under powered.

Any advice would be very welcome or a contact for someone that can turn on the tunes or re-tune the MINE"S...

Bin it and get a new ecu.

x2

cant be tuned, dosnt suit straya fuel anyway.

buy a nistune and 2x z32 afms

$500 + $500 = $1000

or spend a little more and get a plug and play haltech and don't need to buy afms

$1800

• Anfanee sound the go...

[TMLP]

• GH05T Already has wide band 2x z32 afms so what would be the best Plug N Plat for Newcastle (tuners)?

any reason you say HALTECH? as I just spent $2500 replacing The Japanese Head unit so a bit for a ECU is well worth it...

[TMLP]

I Thought the VX ROMS could be tuned...

[GH05T]

If you already have z32s then nistune will be much cheaper. and a good option in its own right too, can still go flex fuel with the new ones.

I prefer haltech with no afms for several reasons but just have a bit of a search for the pros and cons of each ecu.

but tbh if you have already spent cash on z32s I would probably just spend $500 get a nistune and get a tune done.

[TMLP]

Looks like the forum is correct, as usual... it will be a Haltech for sure...

Congrats on the autech I picked one up in March.

Just out of curiosity, I assume its fine, but is there any detriment or benefit to running the z32 afms with haltech?

There is a school of thought that says AFMs are more accurate than MAP sensors but my own thinking is that MAP sensors are closer to the action ... but I am open to being proved wrong. I haven't seen any back to back comparisons.

Well it's to be sorted out next week. Took a while to work out what to do & thanks for the advice.

Jezz at DVS Tuning gets the car on Monday for...

-walbro 255 fuel pump

-725cc injectors

-haltech ECU Dyno tuned with boost solenoid

-upgraded camshafts

-adjustable cam gears

-100k service kit (am I over servicing? 82K on the clock) including water pump

-rocker cover gasket kit

- oil catch can

Time for power...

Always worth doing the cam belt on a new purchase - you don't know how accurate the km on the clock are.

[TMLP]

Cam/timing belt being done as part of the 100k service to be safe.

Anyone have similar mods on an RB26 DETT - DET or RB25? If so what sort of power do you get & what do you think I will get?

Thanks Shaun.....

[GH05T]

I got 270rwkw

r32 stock engine stock turbos

halltech platinum pro 1bar boost controlled by an electronic solenoid
without the cam upgrade and running out of injectors so you should se somewhere between that and a bit higher.
your turbos will run out before 300 I would say

Edited May 20, 2016 by GH05T

[TMLP]

The turbos are GT2560R's 7 ball bearings should that help?

[GH05T]

well yeah, greatly.
what boost are you planning to run?

what cams are you going for?

Devs will be able to give you a much better answer I can cos I don't know.

depends what runs out first, boost/fuel/....stock bottom end

I will go with what the mechanic recommends as I'm no expert.

But I do not want to destroy the engine as the car is almost NEW condition inside & out. I was very lucky to come across it.

Everyone wants over 300KW & a 10sec car, here's hoping/dreaming.
