RB30/26 with RB26DETT stock ECU

[93RPS13]

Can a RB30/26 hybrid engine run on stock GTR ecu??

Dont see why not, the computer doesnt give a stuff about the stroke or bore of the engine, as long as you have all the RB26 sensors and get the ECU re-written for the new engine i dont see any dramas.

so am better off with a power fc where i can tune myself with FC-datalogit?

I am going to the run the stock RB26 ECU to run the engine in, then fitting the autronic later

how is this engine managment system Haltech E11 it comes with software wiring harness and also i need to buy a map sensor

[DESCR8]

Don't know much about Haltech let alone the E11 it depends on whos tunning it and the sort of the HP you are after, I am aiming for around 800-1000 flywheel HP. So the reason i went autronic is every one you ask has their favourite but all of them say Motec/Autronic are the best so I went the because I am getting a good deal on it

is the FC datalogit easy to use for a person that has no knowledge of it?

[93RPS13]

is motec expensive and user friendly also is it user tunable on a computer?

[Guest mort]

Autronic is the ecu that i would recommend to run these engines we have installed a large number of these ecu's with outstanding success, by the way the standard rb26dett ecu will not run your setup as both engines have different volumetric efficiency values don't risk it

cheers

is the FC datalogit easy to use for a person that has no knowledge about tuning an power fc?

[Guest mort]

Stick with something that everyone agrees is the best (Autronic) that way you can't go wrong.It is always risky to let your tuner use something that they are not up to speed on.

It makes sense to talk to the people you intend on having tune your engine, be sure it is an ECU they are familiar with.

I still believe that the stock ECU can be re-written to run your hybrid engine.

The tune of the factory ECU may not be right for the new engine, but the actual ECU will have no prob running the engine when tuned. Also means less hassle with wiring, and certain tuning parameters like cold start and light load running.

the thing with motec is that you have to do alot of wiring but the apex power fc is plug and play
