hey ppl,

have many people on here had re-map from dr.drift who can share how everything goes now, im debating between re-map and greddy emanage ultimate. re-maps heaps cheaper.

mods will be upgraded turbo, injectors,cams, fuel pump around 230rwkw. nothing over board on r32gtst rb20det.

is there any advantaged with the emange in the long run being easier to tune when its set up or there both the same just the inital set-up of them both

thanks all

simon

I can vouch for Sam's remaps and his tuning...he's remapped and tuned 2 of my cars to date and i haven't had any problems...for cars with ecus that can be remapped...its extremely good value for money...

And 89 SIL...sam sometimes puts a tuned by dr drift sticker on the ecu cover if he's done a remap but thats not always the case...

i can vouch for his style of tuning.. i have a mercury motorsport ecu tune which is using the software they bought from dr drift

tune is great and retains stock knock sensors and cold start etc.

only problem is that if you want a re-tune then there's only one place you can go...

with things like a powerFC, you can pretty much go to anyone to get a tune

i had him remap my car a while ago, he wasnt to familiar back then with rb20's he was doing heaps of SR's

i would recommend him to anyone in melb but if your in sydney or bris not only do you pay for the chip but your paying for his time and the cost of the dyno he is renting..

he came twice to sydney to sort things out for me. so $300 for chip and 2 dyno sessions which cost about $300 each. another problem is if something was to happen you would have to wait a few months for him to come into state.

so i wasted about $900 all up on nothing and in the end i switched to an Fcon.

Sam (Dr Drift) tuned my R32 RB20 to 220rwkw without a hitch. Can easily tune up to whatever limits your bolt ons have. 230-240-250+ rwkw even over 300kw can be handled by the stock ECU. The only limit is your engine and mods (especially airflow meter).

I have had no problems with mine and will always go back to Sam if I need more power.

Would recommend to anyone.

PowerFC can be tuned anywhere by anybody, that is the real advantage.

    • Updating results following our SR20det project. Data collected form improves future turbocharger making and high flowing services. So far differences between G and GT series turbine wheels, we are in the process of making a new turbine, the aim is for better mid top range flow without gain too much lag.  Result is back to back comparison of G25-660 and GTX2867 spec turbochargers on the same car, nothing changed apart from turbocharger. Both tuned to knock limit from pump 98 fuel (US Ron93). GTX2867 was about 400RPM more responsive making 255rwkws while G25-660 made 17 extra Kws with wider spread of torque after 4500RPM finishing off at 272rwkws.  
    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
