ecu choice for rb30/25

[2BNVS]

hi all im thinkin about gettin an rb30 bottom end to go with the 25 head, any suggestions for an ecu since my power fc wont be able to run this...my motor will be in for some big hp too so somethin decent but not necessarily extreme in prices

cheers...ben.

My AP Engineering PFC runs my rb30det fine.

Hell even the stock rb20det ecu ran the rb30det fairly well, the stock rb25det ecu runs the rb30det better again.

I may be mistaken but i don't think there are too many sensors that come from the bottom end. things like crank ange etc are up the top so you should be able to use all standard sensors and therefore the standard power fc, with adjustment, would work fine.

oh k thanks for the help, ill ask my tuner on monday what he thinks

try that if not go a microtech run anything, i have a pfc myself but i only got rb25

microtech

Microtech = bad fuel economy.

I like my 450km's per 50litres with the rb30det.

Light load hasn't been tuned yet, its with a stock turbo boosting from 1000rpm, once the bigger turbo is on it should return better fuel economy the same if not better than the rb20det was returning. 470km's per 50litres.

If it's a streeter, definately a PowerFC or anything with closed loop. If you want it to also drive as smooth as the factory ECU, it must have idle control, cold start function, various fuel/ ignition compensations, air/water temp correction, decel fuel cut, etc.

I went for a Haltech E11v2 as it had more versatility with respect to aux. inputs/outputs, appeared more user freindly and my tuner was more comfortable with it rather than a powerFC.

thats the thing, go with what your tuner is comfortable with cause there's no point having a computer that can't be tuned by your tuner!

Microtech is fine

[TTT]

your power fc will run it.

you will need to take the knock sensors off the current bottom end and stick them in the Rb30 botom end.

is this in an R32 or R33?

r33 gts-t

thanks for the replies...
