No thanks..

I am looking at getting another similar for $200 but I have to wait a while for it, so I thought that I could get this one now for the same price..

All I can offer is $200 for the ECU, NO EXCHANGE

Well, I took the plunge and got a remapped ecu.

Picked toshi up after work and headed down to my mechanic to put it onto a dyno. I can only say good things both about toshi and the maps he's put together. I shall post the dyno sheets hopefully on monday, though on the first stock run ;

RWKW - 119

Torque - 546

AFR - 10.35

Speed - 119

After replacing the ecu with a remapped ecu from toshi, the results were ;

RWKW - 145

Torque - 631

AFR - 10.32

Speed - 111

So from the remap I gained another 26rwkw. I guess its still running very slighty rich, the rev range from say 3.5k to 5k is 10x better, so much more throw back. We played with timing alittle, though we started loosing power from 20c+ so we stuck with 17c+.

Mods - 3" exh, pod, 1bar boost, 040 pump (pretty sure thats it now).

Overall everything feels so much smoother so im rather impressed with it all. Engine showed no pinging what so ever.

Any advice or questions shout out...

Still waiting on dyno sheets? I'm extremely interested in seeing how you can make an extra 26 rwkw without changing the fuel map significantly at peak power? was the timing the same before and after cause it's easy to make that power if you were only running 10 deg before? was the boost level the same before and after?

Do you know if the ramp rate was changed at all?

hello ppl,

i got Toshi to do a chip for my R32.

My car's got an APEXi Power Intake + 3" full exhaust with Trust Power Extreme II catback. running 0.8 bar boost.

Before:

Lethargic low end, but big kick in mid-range-top.

After:

A nice bump up in low-end torque, very very smooth revving all the way to red-line. Went for a test-drive with Toshi after the chip was in, instantly had this huge grin heheh. Friend who test drove my car after the chip was put in was amazed how linear the power delivery is now.

Conclusion:

If you're after a good tune for street, circuit & touge, Toshi's chip delivers a good performance boost @ good value. I didn't do a dyno check, but I CBF anyway with dynos. A friend of mine with an S15 has similar tuning, power delivery wise, but he had to spend lots on a e-manage, etc.

what's involved in installing one of these chips? I haven't had experience in putting chips onto ecu, but have some electrical background, and thinking about saving some money while learning how to install one, can anyone provide any info?

and yeah, I wanna get one soon, in a weeks time

MIST - Do you still have the standard R32 GTST fuel pump?

Do you have any aftermarket fueling bits like injectors or regulator?

Are the mods you listed above your only mods?

SIKCAR - It's not a matter of installing chips that is the hard part, it's the programming of the fuel and ignition maps.

You need to have extensive knowledge of how much fuel and air should be programmed to be pushed through at what loads and so on...

AND, you also need to purchase the CHIP burning hardware and know how to work with ROM editors to make the changes to the fuel maps to make it safer and some how BETTER than standard..

Good luck.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
