you already asked this like a week ago didn't you and no replies..

Probably because nobody knows of anywhere.. I'd be interested myself, as at the moment I have 2x RB20DET's in my cars and wouldn't mind a bit of a tune around.

You could get a dyno chart of "before" (with A/F charts), send it down to either toshi or dr_drift then get it sent back chipped. Cost is usually around $200-$400

I checked out my dr drift chip and it had the stock fuel map and a ignition map that looked a lot like another map we downloaded of the net.

:(...mmm that doesnt sound good:(

The Chiptorque agent in NSW Silverwater Automotive Services do it, my friends S14 vmade tip top power and ran a dream, ie drove like a std ECU and it was tuned by SAS...so i would suggest talking to Chiptorque in Brisbane.

It worked out to be about $750-850 for the tune...but you get what you pay for.

There is a Chiptorque down here in Nerang also.. Didn't think of those guys. I keep associating them in my head with just sticking prepackaged chips into rexes and holdens - but obviously they offer more.

$700-$800 sounds a bit scary.. bit cheaper than an aftermarket though, and then u have to pay tuning on top.

Guess I better do all the mods b4 sticking the RB25 turbo on the Passage and getting it tuned :D

$700-$800 sounds a bit scary.. bit cheaper than an aftermarket though, and then u have to pay tuning on top.  

 

That was an estimate based on fuel and ignition tune, removal of boost / speed cuts etc etc. It included dyno time and burning the chip, but of course if it took an extra hours dyno time it could cost $130 more.

If you know what you are after and that youwotn be doing any more mods then it is well worth it, but if you are going to need a tune after more mods aftermarket ecus start to look cheap.

Dont discoutn Chiptorque agents, in NSW/Queensland they are involved in lots of horsepower hero cars etc :D

But with the nerang one... Didnt matty spry used to work for them??? So my question would be, wouldnt it be better to just get the chip, then take it to Matty???

Maybe just see what Matty does. (PITS performace or something)

I checked out my dr drift chip and it had the stock fuel map and a ignition map that looked a lot like another map we downloaded of the net.

I am interested to know more about this and your opinions.

Also I am interested to hear from anyone who has had their R32 RB20DET/RB25DE ECU remapped in Melbourne and where.

  • 4 weeks later...

theres a lot of r32 images on the ztech forums....

once you have the ecu resocketed, anyone who can burn eproms and knows how to tune can do it. there is some software around to do it, most of it is still in development (like mine)

My chip totaly changes fuel and ignition timing map.

eg; R33 auto is 18 kw more than std map at 7psi (std boost) and 32kw more than std map at 10 psi. If some one interstd I will send map. Cost $200. If you are not satisfied with the product, ill be able to refund.

Hi Toshi, I can't PM you for some reason. I am interested in having my ECU remaped soon, as my engine is being rebuilt at the moment.

My car is a 1995 (Dec) R33 Nissan Skyline series 1.5 - with the following mods -

Apexi GT spec FMIC, Jasma 3.5" exahaust (with 4" tip), Blitz Dual SBC electronic Boost Controller (older version/ maybe 1st one released? I will check the part no. & get back to you), New Apexi SAFC 2 (Lmt.Edit), new HKS SSQ BOV, new Walpro 500hp/255l/hr intank fuel pump, new Monza High Per. fuel Regulator with gauge. The engine internals are GTR conrods, ACL Race Bearings, Maule Forged pistons. I am looking at having the fuel/boost limiter cut & the speed cut. I also am looking at getting a little more rwkw, but keeping the boost down as I have a standard turbo. I won't put it past 10-12 psi. I will try to send you a PM, regarding the turbo, as I havn't heard yet if I need to replace it. If you can give me a rough quote for a changeover ECU to suit the car with a standard turbo & and with a new GarrettGT28 (which is what I will put on it, if needed), it would be greatly appreciated. I will get back to you tomorrow about the Blitz EBC & the turbo

Cheers, Chris

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
