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.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
