hey fellaz just pondering atm, i hve fmic 300zx single turbo full xhaust walbro pump apexi pod filter, im just wondering if the stock ecu could handle bigger injectors and a reg, if so what size/brands u guys rekon? or should the money be better spent on cams/cam gears, i dont wana go over $1000 so im assuming cams is out due to cost, it made 260hp at the wheels on 1 bar, oh and its a r32 gts-t, cheers :)

RB20 im guessin. Personally i'd ditch the stockas ECU and upgrade to an aftermarket item before you do injectors...just my opinion...you have all basic mods. next up is ecu change and then you can think about injectors, boost contoller, bov and the like. Up to you.

yeah sorry its rb20, ermm i just added to my list, ignition coils (still std) the car already runs a blitz bov( soom to be plumbed back) and i use a hybrid ebc, i leaning towards coils due to the fact std ones are known to f**k up, still any input would be most welcome, oh another thing, what bout a better afm? lol the more i think bout it the more the $$$$ budget goes up, funny that

Haha...make up your mind mate. Well i'd get all ur shit sorted out eg coils whatever. Should be fine tho for the mods/power you have...what boost you running? I just run a mapped microtech ecu without afm...annoying when afm f*k up.

You have a jap import...get used to spending lots of money...never satisfied haha.

money lol, im bout to spend 2000 fixing body damage after it got stolen then trashed, lil f**kers! as for boost, it spikes at 18psi up to bout 5500rpm boost starts at bout 3000, levels off to 14psi from 5500rpm onwards

what do u mean "it spikes"?...probly a little high if you want your engine to last...yeh but i didnt really understand that bit about you describing your boost...u dyno tuned it recently?

You really need an a/m ecu if you want to add injectors, different afm or cams. Anything more then what you have now and your just going to be wasting money. The a/m ecu will at least let you tune what you have now properly, and then give you the head room to expand successfully from there on.

yeah had it dynoed reccently, i mean from what i gather the boost is set high but the worn out factory spring tension isnt up to scratch, so it wont hold higher in the rpm, it made 196kw with that setting, never leaning out, i made him run the car several times as the old pcm with a chip in it leaned out the old moter cause piston failure, trust me i dont wana do that again.

There's a contact here in SAU, he does a remote tune, sends a few chips over, you have them fitted and each one of them ran on the dyno too see which works best.

Allthough not 100% spot on its safe and from the experience of others works well.

Dr Drift is another one who tunes. Unsure where he is located.

Here in Adelaide to map the std ecu was too expensive, A few hundred more and I had myself a PFC that has since been tuned 3 times. So I am now ahead. :)

    • Hey guys, Just thought it might be of interest to owners of the RB25 det NEO motor, that awesomeness Nitto are in the late process to produce an engine gasket kit by end of Jan 25.  I think obviously there will be an 25det kit too. cheers, Ian
    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
