Rb25de Ecu

[senilykSkylines]

Hey guys,

It will be a little while off before I get a turbo bolted on...however, I am looking for the right ecu to tune my car. Excuse my ignorance but is it possible to get an ecu that can be used for a car without a turbo and one with a turbo?

Also, I am quite keen to tune my car since I have put the extractors in to make the most of them. Can I retune it, such as advancing the timing, with my stock ecu? Can I do things like increase fuel through the injectors with the stock ecu?

NE info on the ecu would be useful.

Cheers guys.

any aftermarket ecu cold be used eg. Power FC, Haltech, Link ect ect

Or use a Z32 ECU with Nistune if you want a cheaper option

+1 for z32 with nistune. much cheaper than a PFC and will do the job just as good.

Like this chip?

I was looking up Nistune... I don't know much about it but it sounds like a program you can use yourself. Cool fun!

Do you guys use it?

cheers.

Can you tune the stock ecu without having to get a piggy back?

as above Iv also done the full exhaust plus custom stainless steel intake piping, the car doesn't feel like its running like it should be anymore and just want to get some extra hp and increase response until i can afford to buy a GTT.

Nistune doesnt work with a stock NON TURBO ECU.. on the r34's as ive been trying to get one for a while now on my R34... u need to get the GTT re-flash it then load nistune board then re-flash it and start again - alot of time on dyno + money -

Apexi PowerFC, HKS FCON, Haltech just as some examples are good Standalone systems you could get... if ur going to set up for a big turbo setup then dont go cheap on older ECU's as it wil just have to be more money spent after turbo'ing the car..

I myself am looking for a GTT ecu to do Nistune on mine....

[mad082]

i think you still have issues with putting a nistune on a NA r34 because you can't get the stock tune off the r34 ecu, so it requires a full start from scratch tune rather than just tweaking the stock settings a bit. there was a discussion about this a while back and tuners were having all sort of issues getting it to work. don't know if any of them got it sorted

I was looking on yahoo japan and found a mines ecu for an rb25de, only drawback is that they want $3-4k

[noely1]

yeah as i said mad082 you have to completley wipe the GTT ecu, and start from scratch... costs alot more in tuning money on the dyno... probably not worth it.

i have a r32 rb25de non vvt, so therefore a 300zx ecu should work sweet?

[mad082]

if you don't have vct then you could just use a rb20 ecu. that will save you having to change any wiring as it will plug straight in.
