hi all 

I am practicing engine assembly , i have a RB20DET R32 gtst . Last time I bought an ApexiFC RB26DETT set. because the seller told me it will also run for RB20DET, My engine is original, when I replace the APEXI ECU my engine doesn't run. What do I need to do to Apexi RB26DETT can operate on my engine? and how to connect to a PC to change maps?

In my country ( VIETNAM ) no one can use things like standalone or tune a new map.Hope everyone can help me in the most detailed way.

Regards 

Hi are you modifying the RB20DET? If not you need to get an original ECU (available from Ebay AU or TradeMe NZ or if you have the contacts from Japan.

Sell the Apexi FC

If you are going to modify the engine you will need a Nistune chip or stand alone ECU so if it can't be tuned where you are then you will have to forget the mods for now.

yes it will work but it will take some tampering.

i dont know much about them but know enough that it can be used, do some research on the wire loom pin outs rb20det and rb26dett, do some research on rb20det base maps, do some research on power fc.

 

maybe some one else will tell you how to easier but usual response is to take it to a shop. goodluck with that over there.

stock ecu is easiest cheapest method to get the car running if its not reasonably modified.

My experience is only with Link but I assume its similar. You will need to do away with your MAF sensor and instead fit a MAP sensor. You will also need an air temp sensor measuring the air post intercooler. If you are using it for boost control you'll need to connect it to the boost solenoid.

I presume you will get comprehensive instructions  with the unit and you can get a lot of answers from Google or Haltech's phone or email support such as this video on how to load a base map:

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
