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!

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
