Rb20det Budget Mods.

also... if you are going to put on an rb25 turbo and nistune... some adjustable cam gears would go a long way to help get your turbo on song, and pull out some power in your mid range... supprised no one has suggested this as an option for your low down torque woes....

he did say budget mods... Nistune isn't really a 'budget' mod. Try out the Mine's ECU but don't get sucked into paying 250 + for one lol.

Nistune is a budget (but very good) management solution. Far better than spending a few hundred on an some fuel interceptor then getting it tuned, and infinitely better than putting some unknown remap in your car especially when thinking about bigger turbos.

As for the turbo.. a 25 turbo will come on song later but have more top end. When I still had the RB20 with the 25 turbo is made ~250rwhp untuned and was making its' full 12psi by 3500rpm, a tune would have helped a lot but it was still a lot more fun than the stock turbo.

How do i find out if my ecu has been NISTUNED? pull the cover off the ecu n have a look?

[bubba]

Yeah, where the original EEPROM was, there should be a socket soldered there with a daughterboard (extra PCB) plugged in.

If you're unsure, take a photo and post it up

Poor aussies and all your heavy restrictions...

Indonesia?, Equatorial Guinea?, Uzbekistan? Do tell. Catalytic converters have been round for a long time now. I'm wondering what sort of place allows you to run on the street without them. I'm guessing the President has a uniform and the national pastime is survival.

Last I heard, only months ago, it wasn't necessary to have a cat-converter in NZ.

Unless the guy(s) who mentioned that didn't really know (or care about) the law...
