Power FCs for RB20DETs are hard to come by, so if your lucky enough to find one demand usually means they are a little more expensive then say for an R33.

I would suggest a Microtech, not my favourite ecu, but for price, proven results, and the amount of shops who can confidently wire and tune, then id say it is perhaps the best option.

I had some dramas with Microtech in my old R31 import running an RB20DET.

In fairness to the Microtech ECU it was expected to run with ageing Nissan sensors, (R32 6 port motor, still up to 10 year old engine) Some tuners price an installation with new sensors, whilst other dont. Just like the extent of the mapping, not all shops choose to offer the same.

In sydney the local Autronic dealer can do an SMC, installed and tuned for $2600-$2900 depending on odds and ends. From memory a few Autronic specific sensors are included in that price.

I for one actually dont mind an ECU that doesnt work with OE sensors, as often import motors can have corroded leads, wires, and faulty/ageing sensors, which if replaced with a new ECU can help achieve trouble free driving. Problem is the $$$ just keep adding up

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
