hey guys, looking for something to replace my stock ecu so i can up the boost to around 10 or so without it hitting hard rich mixtures caused by the stock ecu, would this be a good replacement? what exactly will it do?

Its an early model Link (currently also sold as Vipec). It should enable all the usual: tune afrs, timing, eliminate speed limit, reset rev limit etc. You can probably get any specific questions answered by the factory:

do some reading and find out what you are buying and how much it will cost to install, setup and tune

do the same for the apexi powerfc - as per my sig, the powerfc faq has everything you need to know

yeah be aware the tuner cable is not longer available for these so you need to make sure your tuner can tune it, i have a few customers i have reffered to AVO here in melbourne as they are the only ones with the cable / handset... as it was discontinued years ago and is no longer supported.

Good ecu, just need the handset, but i see your in berwick so AVO will be able to tune it and they are fairly local (moorabin).

i have no idea with ecus, is there anything else that is readily available and easily tunable on the market? thats cheap? whats the cheapest option to go for? im not trying to get awesome power, i simply want to run 10psi without it running rich.

honestly most places charge 650-850 for a tune regardless of ecu so that ecu @ 450 + 650 is about the cheapest option around. Ring AVO and get a qoute for a tune and you will soon see what it will owe you in total.

do AVO supply ecus? obviously as an extra charge...

only the link G4 ecu's share the same hardware as the vipecs (or which ever way round you want to put it) the earlier model links are/were only sold as link

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
