Help With N/a Ecu

[Iron_Maiden_88]

Hi guys, most of yas all seem to know wat ur on about with regards to skylines/vl's (RB engines) so heres my situation.

I have a VL Berlina 87 model, have a large ass bore throttle body on it that my father made for me, CAI with a pod hangin off it and 2.5" straight through. Extractors, stage 2 cam and head work (courtesy of my father) will be getting done soon and it should be pretty beasty. Its strangely fast now as it is haha but i want faster.

He did an engine for a guy who had stage 2 cam on an RB30ET and he cant remember wat ECU he used for it. Wondering if you guys new wat i could use for one to cope with an RB30E with a stage 2 cam in it, and preferably not a whole ECU set up, rather a piggyback comp or something easier and simpler...

Any suggestions welcome,

Thanks guys

Josh

I'm not sure.. But I want to hear this thing

apexi SAFC? or powerchip?

something like that.. there's a handful around - just comes down to what is easiest to tune, and if there's anyone in your area that can... no point buying something and having to take the car interstate just so someone can throw it on the dyno to tune.

Alright thanks man, I will run that by one of the guys at a dyno shop around here. But i've been told there pretty useless mothers workin those dynos so i might have to travel to try and find a not-shit dyno mob. But still they might be able to get that gear in and be able to tune it (hopefully).

Is that all i will need though to suit the stage 2 cam?

Thanks guys,

If it was already running a turbo ecu, there was probably no need to change anything.

[Iron_Maiden_88]

Well either way mine is just an RB30E and im pretty sure that he was slapping a turbo on, got all drop forged pistons and what not for internals and cost him a shitload too...

It depends if you just want the motor to "cope" as stated in your original post, or if you want to be able to squeeze every last little bean out of it.

I'm running a stage 3 equivalent in my RB30e with standard ECU, so there's no reason why the stock ECU wouldn't cope with a stage 2, providing the timing is properly adjusted to suit.
