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.

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.

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!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
