Lads,

Had my ECU remapped my Toshi today.

Easily the best $500 bucks ive spent in a long long time. Its a rare event for me when i drive away from something genuinely thinking i got my moneys worth. This time its without question.

Toshi spent much of his sunday tuning my car until i was happy, explained every part of the process clearly and kept me completely involved. The car is absolutely flying and i couldnt be happier. His focused attitude and attention to detail was second to none, this was very apparent especially after dealing with peanut after peanut mechanic (and twice the cash) who obviously had no idea.

Id strongly recommend his services to anyone. He clearly knows his stuff, and takes the time to do it properly. Pretty bloody rare (and valuable) in my book. Ill take the car nowhere else.

Thanks again Toshi, we will speak soon about the intercooler etc.

Cheers,

Matt

Yep he was good to me too. I got 190rwkw on 11psi R33 with std turbo but full exhaust etc.

Mine even was a bit strange with s1 ECU but s2 car and we did it via mail but he was very good, answered a lot of questions from me too. Definitely one of the best guys I've dealt with about Skylines.

If I lived in Sydney I'd just see him for servicing and everything.

I have an R33 GTS-t 96, with:

FMIC

3" Exaust (pretty Sure)

Pod (Enclosed)

Manual boost control (not sure if it works)

Rest is stock

Just wondering can i remap my standard ECU?

If so, what gains would i get?

How much would this cost?

also looking at installing a Auto Boost Controller to run 10psi, is it better to do this first?

Cheers

Thanks simpletool , stenve and Tangles.

I appreciated your thread!

Hi Cam84

I am able to remap std ecu.

Im not too sure how much gain but normally 185- 200kw.

Please check out this is thread.

Toshi what about me any help for me I don't want an aftermarket ecu!

My thing is there is no one here in the bahamas that does good tuning, as a matter of fact we don't even have a dyno here. That is why I wanted an ecu tuned for my mods and from the threads i have read Toshi is the man. So I want him to tune my ecu.

Problem with your situation is that the tune wont be perfect and would need to be touched up a little bit anyway.

Or this is what he said to me when i enquired about getting one to NZ. Its impossible for him to tune perfectly it to your atmospheric conditions, if you know what i mean.

You need wideband A/F meter and some tools for check ping (eg; S-AFC2).

This is minimum tools.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
