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 :worship: . Maybe I should offer 50 cents more?

haha those are my exact thoughts Keir! who tunes it?

emanage is easy, might take me 9 hours to get there, but time is cheap to me :worship:

im glad you werent bidding on the ECU mate, i needed it tho :)

got a long list of crap to buy now..........

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!? :D:)

i have however seen the harness advertised in many a yahoo auction for a reasonable price.

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!

Only the "Universal Harness" is suitable for the VQ25det.

Greddy decided not to make up an engine specific harness for it

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.

going to take it for a track day and tell us how she goes! sierra stage 1 hey .. sounds like GCG talk

I will do the drags again in the next few weeks when I get time.

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.

Don't you mean Precision Turbo's in Sydney?

Damn Drugs....lol (and you think I am joking)

Yup.. they are the ones . Precision Turbo's (John)

That's the right info Mark?.. lol

thats rocking andy!

Be interested to see how it goes.

Nope, a tractor is too big for getting between the trees.... plus I try to stay away from RB's :P

heh knew that was coming... no wonder they wont wave at us!.. lol

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
