Apexi Ap Engineering Computer With Rb30det

[Drift Freak]

Hey guys, after reading the forums for a while i'm seriously considering a RB30DET into my R32. I've only just recently purchased an AP Engineering computer and was wondering if this can be used with the standard sensors and loom from my RB20 or will I have to sell my current computer and buy another. Also would a HKS 2540 turbo be suitable for the RB30????

yes the rb20 ap engineering model will work, buy you will max out the load points, you will most likely need datalogit to rescale the afms. cubes had this problem. the 2540 is too small for the rb30det, as it flow heaps more exhaust gas, so youll need a bigger housing. the 2540 is poor mans hks spec anyway, must better choices out there

the powerfc faq (in my sig) covers the various hybrid pfcs to use the rb30det

Thanks Paulr33 i'll double check your FAQ, I've already bought the turbo for my RB20 (Not bad considering i only paid $800 w/oil line and water fittings) Why do you say poor mans spec is there something i should be worried about????

[paulr33]

yeah its the older style poor mans hks spec

its a mismatchec combo, its either too large compressor or too small exhauast housing. it just makes it have extra lag for no good reason. its an extension of the 2530/2535, they tried to add more power, but f**ked up the combo and it just has more lag than it should. still good for $800

not a bad replacement for the stocker if you can tune it well and probably take out some of the lag anyway. id buy it for $800 as well
