Nothing wrong with getting the ECU first. Then you can do allt he mods you want and tweak it as you go.

why Haltech? your best bet is to find a good tuner and then use the ecu they reccomend, i know a few tuners in Perth who refuse to touch Haltech and reckon the tune jumps around (afr's all over the place on back to back dyno runs), they also say its the shittest software ever to tune with, but thats personal opinion i suppose.

Send me a PM with who u planning on using to tune if u have found someone and ill give u some advice who not to use :P

If it was me i would use the EMS 8860 for $1600 i think it is, great ecu and great value, a few mates are running them and reccomend them 100% and i know a great tuner in Perth as well who does them :down:

is yours auto or manual i forgot now?

Hey dave (NYTSKY) i assume u are talking about Adam from JEM? if i had a good haltech tuner in perth i would have used the haltech for sure but the person i wanted to use refused to touch it and told me to keep the autronic i had in the car, i know of a tuner in perth who does haltech (not many haltech tuners in perth) and he swears by them but he has a few issues lately with bad tuning (his fault not the ecu) and i got cold feet and decided against using him, and the other haltech distributor told me they had a few issues with them as well in the past, but as i said if i had someone who could verify the car would run perfect i would of used it. In Perth finding a decent tuner is hard enough without having to find one who does Haltech as well.

Jippa goto Ovaboost in Malaga, Mick is the owner/tuner and highly regarded in Perth, he is the best tuner i have dealt with and ive used alot of them, he is the EMS distributor. Tell him u got reccomended him by Brad with the rb26 stagea and he should look after you. He does my autronics tuning and he is a top bloke and listens to what u have to say and doesnt carry the usual "im better than everyone else" attitude ive dealt with in the past with other tuners. He does some killer cars as well, his own 2jz makes 900rwhp, a 900rwhp centura turbo, a 780rwhp rotor, a couple of 600hp rb26s, a 570hp rb25 and a few 480hp sr20s to name a few.

unique1 - Just a quick question ... if you have an autronic why would you want to go a Haltech .... Autronic is a much better ecu then haltech ... Its just hard to find anyone who knows how to tune them.

hey mate i had a motor issue and decided to use another tuner and he hated autronic and reccomended haltech so i bought all the stuff (e11v2, ls1 coils, map sensor, loom, etc) and then changed my mind on the tuner and used another tuner who said he hates haltech and autronics is perfect and nothing wrong with it so i kept the autronics and cdi and msd cdi coil setup which made life easier for me not having to wire up the haltech :blink:

Autronics tuners are hard to find especially in Perth, every tuner loves some ecus and hates the rest and the next tuner loves the opposite ecus and hates the ones the last tuner loved so its just personal opinions i suppose and they always would rather be using software they are more familiar with.

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
