Old Gregg Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 All good mate , i wasnt bidding on it , couldnt afford it atm Iain thats actually quite good , because i was going to get that exact same ecu the first time it was auctioned and no one bought it .. for $1250 without + shipping + charges. so you ended up knocking off $125 of the original auction price. so all in all you did ok. I was just about to PM Zebra about the E manage Ultimate -stuffed around checking on availability of harness so tooo slow all yours . Maybe I should offer 50 cents more?

PetroDola Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) I was just about to PM Zebra about the E manage Ultimate -stuffed around checking on availability of harness so tooo slow all yours . Maybe I should offer 50 cents more? lets say we have the harness though.. does that equate to the fcon v being an easier tune for the vq25det? or is it more knowledge and testing of the mappings that the tuner would have to know individually regardless? Im not confident enough atm to invest in one unless someone says it can be done with x tuner for x amount. Unless you want to be the test dummy Gregg!? i have however seen the harness advertised in many a yahoo auction for a reasonable price.

Jetwreck Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Not their best name though, Camp. lol.The Ultimate will work well with the Nismo I think, are you copying Craig? I hope you learnt from his engine mishap. It was the Impul ECU(doesn't seem to have boost cut ) + blocked off BOV(must have been pushing above 24PSI) + standard fuel pump + standard injectors + no tune all backed up with a H/F turbo with GT30/71 internals that blew mine......... Not the Nismo!!!(Soon to be Nismo - EUS).....If I had of had that on I would never have blown it as it has boost cut. @PetroDola: you would faint if you new how cheap I got my Nismo ECU!

scotty nm35 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 who can tune the fcon v though .. without being a test dummy and spending 2k on a tune anyway for the vq? cause thats definately within budget. I may know someone... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/342557-this-is-the-new-recipe-chat-thread/page/54/#findComment-5513781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamhe77 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I was just about to PM Zebra about the E manage Ultimate -stuffed around checking on availability of harness so tooo slow all yours . Maybe I should offer 50 cents more? Only the "Universal Harness" is suitable for the VQ25det. Greddy decided not to make up an engine specific harness for it lets say we have the harness though.. does that equate to the fcon v being an easier tune for the vq25det? or is it more knowledge and testing of the mappings that the tuner would have to know individually regardless? Im not confident enough atm to invest in one unless someone says it can be done with x tuner for x amount. Unless you want to be the test dummy Gregg!? i have however seen the harness advertised in many a yahoo auction for a reasonable price. Fcon will be much easier to tune for the VQ25det than the eManage as it has a selectable base map in the software which the tuner can then modify as required plus it "dictates" the tune to the engine instead of "modifying" it if you have the V-Pro (so eliminating the stubbornness of our ECU... in theory). I am confident enough to be the guinea pig for an Fcon install... once I get a little more cash for the car (have to shell out around 3.5k for a slasher atm) I may know someone... Yes, indeed.

Not GCG... Performance Turbo's in Sydney. Really good value IMHO. From memory. 43mm Compressor wheel and can't remember the exhaust wheel but it is a bit bigger without being silly. I am seeing around 4psi at 2200rpm so not too laggy.
