I wanted to tell you guys about my results

My car is 1988 cefiro

rb20det

stock turbo, stock intercooler, blitz BOV, 3" exhaust from dump back, electronic boost controller, walbro fuel pump, pod plus intake. running 1 bar

before the ecu was chipped by toshi it was putting out 170rwhp and pinging. it seemed to run OK but was not as quick as i thought it should be.

Toshi took all my mods into account and remalled ignition and fuel. He also removed the speed cut and boost cut.

we put the chip in the ecu and did another run. The car sounded a lot better exhaust note. The results were 215rwhp.

Thats a 45HP increase! and the car dosent ping anymore!.

the peak power is great but the biggest difference you notice is the huge increase in torque/power in the midrange.

The car now feels awsome to drive and is now quicker than my mate's wrx :throwup: haha!

to anyone who wants their car tuned and running at its best get toshi to mod your ecu for you its the cheapest performance upgrade you will make and your air/fuel ratio will be correct.

we could have got 20more rwhp out of it according to toshi if we pushed it upto 1.1bar but i didnt like the chances of the turbo livivng very long at that boost level.

dyno sheet coming...

fuel economy is slightly better than before. becuase at default settings most skylines/cefiros run rich.

as for tuning in real time no.

he comes with you and organises a dyno run. he looks at the A/F ratios and other stuff and burns an eprom on site on does another run untill the chip is correct for the car.

so bacically the chip is custom made for your car and tuned properly.

it cost me $250.

that included toshi coming to the dyno place and burning a chip on site and then doing another dyno run to make sure it was perfect.

he even gave me a copy of my stock chip so i can run it in factory tune if i like.

A mate of mine here in WA does realtime tuning to Nissan factory ECUs using an emulator and also reads off the consult port etc. Works extremely well. I shall be getting my ECU done soon too. Also realtime means you can change maps instantly, not burn a map, run the car, remod the map on the PC and reburn it.

JK

Talk to toshi. he will book the dyno for you and you can meet him there. I used the dyno for a total of 17 runs and it cost me $80 The place to get the dyno work done is Procar. its on the northen beaches in sydney.

Cheers!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
