i do dyno tuning for a living, and i would say that any computer will make similar power, but its everywhere else that you do 95% of the driving, and i find the interpolation of the load points on the microtech to be somewhat poor.

Is that tuning in matrix mode or normal

Cause yeah they only have 16 bit tuning from what i remember

Tuning in the normal mode will give you really poor economy if you dont tune it correctly.You will need someone who has tunes with them all the time.If you tune in matrix mode it will give you more tuning points but still needs more.The new Microtech LT16 will be a great ecu and cheap.If you wish to wait for it.32 bit map tuning and downloading to the laptop.

The haltech,Wolf,Motec,Autronic etc ecus have 32 bit

which means you have more tuning points in your load maps.Problem with most of these ecus is setting them up and installing them.But 90 % of them now come PLUG N PLAY and have a base map to get you started.

Your tuners should have a problem with haltech so if i were you id head that way.HALTECH E11 PLUG N PLAY.Or wait for the new Microtech which shouldnt be to far away

yes i have one a find it great had a few tuners look very funny at me when i told them i had one and said i should through it away.

i came across a workshop that had only ever dabled in them and they took the chalange to tune it and i have never looked back yes the link has a few little thing my tuner said he would like to get rid of but other then that im making good power and drivabilty is fine just got to get a good tune?

well thats my 2 cents if any more question pm RaceingLine he will be able to help you out.

but then again if i had a choice in ECU i would get somthing everyone can tune just to make it easyer to choose a workshop.

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
