Personally, I am going with the SAFC 11 current version, for ~$400 this gives a good A/F ratio result. You can't play with ignition as the auto needs ignition retard to give smooth shifts and not overload the transmission with torque while changing gear (prolongs gearbox life). So looking at other options with ignition control capablity (EManage for example) is a waste of money.

Full ecu upgrades, Power FC for example, aren't on the cards for me as they have no programming for the auto. Sure they run the engine itself just fine, but not the auto for the reasons above.

I am looking at around 200 awkw (that's about double the standard kw) and I have seen plenty of SAFC's work perfectly well at that power level on other RB25DET's. So the decision is pretty easy for me.

Hope that helps:cheers:

do a plug in board to allow remaping a r34 rb25 neo

anyone know if its the same ecu in the neo equiped stagea's ?

what about the hardcore aftermarket ecu's like motec and autronic ? I have seen autronics control auto sr20s before .

Nope, they have no shift logic. What you can do is use one of their outputs to change gear. Stuff like at 60 kph change into second, at 120 kph change into third etc. This is OK for a drag car, but not realy "shift logic". Where you want smooth up and down changes, down hill, up hill, under load, cruising etc etc

I was told that the lines of code to get an auto to changes gears properly, all the time, was over 1,000 times more than that used to get the engine to run. That's why you can buy manual car ECU's easily, but very very few auto ECU's. In fact the only one I have seen is the Power FC for Toyota Chasers and my understanding is it has Toyota auto shift programming anyway.

    • 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.
