Hay guys my car is on its way and iam budgeting for some things id like to put on there?

from what i have been told i have a stock ecu?

the car a large fmic i think its hks, exhuast cold air intake, suspension sway bars and who knows what else lol. i think it was used for drifiting also its a 97 180sx =)

it also has inside a profec b boost controler and some one said it might have the old style apexi afc but not to sure =)

now if it does have a stock ecu?

should i replace the old boost controler and put in an avcr and rsm? is it worth getting rid of the profec b or is it preety good?

or leave that crap out and put in a power fc with hand controler?

reason iam asking is with the mods the car has how well can the stock ecu perform with these mods???

e.g to performace pinging air fuel etc.

and how much can the power fc help me with the kind of mods i have?

Thanks for all the help guys..

ohh here is the link to the mods on my car from the last post. =)

Wait until the car is here.

The reason I say that is that sometimes gear can be pinched from your car while on the docks.

Sad but true.

Don't waste your money on s RSM, I'm sure you've got a speedo and tacho on the car that works.

The Profec b is a good unit, hold onto that.

You might find that the ECU has been remapped, so wait till it get's here.

When the car get's here go right over the whole car and find out what it has, and if need it be run it up on a dyno and check A/F ratios, fuel pump preasure blah blah blah, decide from that what you want and need.

Once you get the power bug you'll want more though :D

When you get the car, dyno it and get a read out of a/f ratios. If it's too rich, SAFC.

Ask yourself, why do you want the RSM? Rice factor, or for the data it can give you, and do you know what it means?

If you intend on modifying the car more in future, get the PowerFC or something similar, and don't waste money on something you'll end up replacing, ie. SAFC.

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
