Wut?

Not tune, set boost to afr? What you mean man?

Have you never done that or something?

You just talk to the car nicely, tell it what you want

Sometimes you plug a Vac line in the AFR gauge (make sure its narrowband) and it tunes for you

I mean use the wideband in ur exhust and work the afrs in turn the more boost you have the leaner ur engine will b to safely run most probs under 10psi so you dont lean it out so that was my question

LOL, it's 2016 not 1984 tuning Pulsar ET turbos.

Will the turbo do that? Or the ecu?

OK thanks, will there be much difference in performance over standard?

No differences works exactly the same. Need to make sure factory turbine housing is not cracked.

I mean if you put a bigger turbo on without the supporting mods computer injectors exc you can do this tho you cant run high boost cus lean out injectors max out so obd wide band goes up exhust and you use a hand held computer that tells you ur air to fuel ratios you can tell if its leaning or richining thats all im trying to ask if

Tao from hypergear has had any 1 do this with a high flow turbo

Don't do it, it's not a VL commodore.

Doesn't make sense at all, a bigger turbo will push more air into the engine, you'll enter a section of the fuel/ignition map in the ecu wich isn't even there. There's no sense at all changing turbo's without doin 'the complete package'. If it should be that easy, why would everyone put aftermarket ecu's in there cae ... ;)

Ok sweet well owning an auto stagea kinda makes things hard its a pigy back set up or full computer ==$$$ and the closest tuner is 500klm

Nistune will do auto transmissions, and flex fuel to boot.

If you think outside the box you can piggyback a full standalone ontop and let that ecu do all the work but the stock ecu for auto control. Then literally cut all the ignition and injector outputs from the stock ecu and wire it up to the standalone.

Always ways around it, just need to think outside the box. Also you can set the stand alone to input a gear change signal and retard timing for you so you don't grenade your box.

My box is fine. It only retards timing at wot anyway. I don't believe the adaptronic is capable of retarding on gear changes anyway, according to Andy.

And yes everything is run through the new ecu except for idle so the auto knows when it is in gear and obviously the auto control.

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
