im going with the vipec because its one they always use .. who said it would always be a streeter ? :thumbsup:

i was !! but after today i spent a few hours looking into ecu's and other items

so now my car will be going down to CONFIDYNE

for a motec or maybe haltec ecu and dyno tune .

as for the mods there still from befor install turbo . timeing belt . nice clean up new fluids .. maybe fuel pump and some little bits nothing to big :cheers:

Hmm I would be keen for a dyno run to get a 'before' statement before I hit engine modifications.

What sort of ride height should I be looking at to actually manage getting on the dyno :whistling:

If you can fit your foot under the car it'll get up there.

I wouldn't bother with a motec, you pay a pretty big premium for no extra features, and the ones with the extra featues are $3000-$5000.

Just wondering if you have contacted Boost in Launceston for a ecu/tune? Just seem a lot of hassle to go all the way to ulverstone.

hey mate. you are oviously new to this but there is more than one place to get a haltech or motec instaled around tas and for quite varying fees.

a bit of experiance has shown me that dealing with one good workshop for all work is by far the best way to get the most out of a car and enjoyment. all tuners will tune any car off the street but they are unlikely to put 100% into the job. if the workshop does all the mechanical work to a car they will then know that the engine is in sound condition, or maybe a bit tire,. also that all parts have been installed correctly thus allowing them to put a bit of back ground knolage into the performance of the car.

if you was planing on getting workshop a to do all the work then decided to get workshop b to finish it all off do you think workshop a is gooing to put its extra bit of effort into the job. if you want what workshop b does then maybe consider getting it all done by them.

in your case workshop a has already lead you down the wrong track so whats to say they are doing anything wright. this is only assumed from the info given by you.

every one on here is right in saying that a nistune will give you by far the best bang for buck at this stage. but non of them have pointed the out possibly the cheapest and best place to get one. you just have to look around a bit.

what ever you do dont get Motec's new budget plug in ecu. it is rubbish and hard to use compared to the likes of vipec and haltech

i would only ever run a Motec if i was running a top top end race car. they just arent user friendly enough for amature racing. haltech, vipec, link most of these will do 100% of what any amature needs.

you seemed to listn to the advice from before so hopefully you will have a bit of a think about your next step to.

im thinking of changeing . as my tuner now cant keep going with my needs so there just installing the turbo kit for me and doing the service .. ulverston is slose for me the hobart one i dont trust the dyno tuner up here ..im calling them monday wen i was talking to them they said the platnum ecu and haltek only come in that from wat if hurd they are working on a 33 and other nissans so a know there got there foot up in there in wat i need unlike mine that are more v8's if they where to tune it for me i would keep going back thats why im not getting my machanic to install the vipic then go somewhere new and ask for a dyno tune i would like one dyno tuner to do the rest of the work for me yer i should have started with them but as u said im new pinch.gif

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
