Nistune would be smarter than any piggyback crap.  The NA ECU should be able to do what you need - doesn't matter that it was auto.  Nistune will actually help you to get rid of codes that the ECU will probably throw from not having the auto's TCU on-line.

If you have to buy injectors, don't buy stock DET injectors.  Buy some brand new Bosch injectors (or similar) from Scotty (or similar).

Any big pump will do.  The 255 is reasonable, but there are newer Walbros that better suit E85, for some future proofing.

If you do use Nistune, grab a Z32 AFM, or an R35 blade AFM and fit that instead.  No point hamstringing yourself with the NA RB25 AFM.

And upgrade the brakes.

And fit an LSD.

I run flex fulltime with no issues, i can check knock and sensors are working and is easy for my tuner to play with.

Does the job for $600.

You mean you run E85 full time.

PowerFC can't even cut power when you're above a particular load point, it can't even cut power when you've exceeded a particular engine water temperature.

I think you need to admit now that it is a pretty basic ECU.

Nistune can do full flex blending (PowerFC cannot), Nistune has basic engine protection (PowerFC will grenade your motor), Nistune you can vary your VCT (PowerFC you cannot), Nistune has launch control (PowerFC does not have), Nistune you can fully map the DC for the boost solenoid (PowerFC you cannot).

So tell why the PowerFC is better? Because of its useless hand controller?

Also, the RB25DE Ecu can't be Nistuned, at least it couldn't back in the day when I had one.

May have changed now as I admittedly hadn't looked into it for several years, but I got the impression that the actual ECU was fairly different hardware wise to the GTT one.

If that's the case GTt ones are dime a dozen, everyone going Halaltech or Link or Motec or ECU Master or Syvecs these days.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
