R32 Rb26 Ecu Choice?

[luke gtr]

oh, to beat the quick unplug afm test, possibly run half the injectors or coils looping through the afm wiring?

that would get them a little...

maybe...

Totally agree - It's utterly ridiculous. But one must work within the confines, it's easy enough to do if you go about it smartly from the outset.

holy shit....this i did not realise.

Totally agrees with this comment. As I have been attacked by the EPA 3x times. twice I have had to visit the 'Vicroads' centre with a stock exhaust fitted, after a noise test. Got a on the spot fine once from a 'Toggy' after he pulled up behind my car whilst I was in a shop. He took off then sent me a $600> fine in the mail. I keep my stock gear for this very reason!

On other note. I go have a chat with the 'mechanic' about fuel pressure for 17 PSI.

Thanks mate.

Good thinking, if not just use the 'fake/un-used' wiring from the AFM's plug back to the ECU, as a loop back to the ECU loom to tap into injector pulse wire or something. Make sure you read the wiring diagram twice!

Ye Bendigo you poor blokes cop it worse than we do in Melb cause of all the young muppets out that way.

Done smartly you can have your 300rwkw, and be EPA-Spec in around 20mins by just swapping exhaust & ECU over

Sorry dude but you don't know what you are talking about with regards to what happens down here and it's not as simple as you make it out.

The EPA will unplug the AFM, it's a 30sec check to tell them if you have an aftermarket ECU or not. They are not stupid down here unfortunately.

If the AFM unplug doesn't work, then they will look closer at things like injectors (colour of tops), and even open up the ECU case. I've had them open up the case on my ECU as the consult port wasn't working, which they can also plug into.

wow wee!!!

you seriously saying they are up to that kinda shit there? its really that bad????

I would have fun with these guys... Id just chip tune the stock ecu and not even use a socket, put it directly on the board...

what a way to get pulled over... "excuse me sir, is this a 16 or 32 bit eprom?" AHA! thats a writable eprom, here is a 1000$ fine buddy.

create something that goes through the dummy AFM, so when its unplugged the engine loses ignition power.

WTF!!!

[WHITEBEAST]

Yea, it's crazy! I take my car to Melbourne, I never get pulled over. I go to the local shop, in Bendigo. Cost me $500 in new tyres or some kind of fine.

[WHITEBEAST]

Honestly I would spend the mo st and get a haltech or vipec, something to consider with a power fc is that it costs about 900, but you want more power later on then you have to spend 600-900 getting new afm.....

For the same price straight up you can get a much better ecu that uses a decent map sensor, has 32x32 mapping, much better features and upgradable firmware

I'll be looking into these 'Haltech' ECU's seem to have a lot more functions than the 'Apexi' or 'Nistune' ECU's. Direct plug and play replacement of the OEM ECU, no re-wiring necessary.

Powerfc or remap the std ecu, a nistune remap would probably be the best option for your budget and application $850 from most places drive in drive out.. i personally am happy to use nistunes on gtrs up to around 450-460rwkw mark.

We do plenty of big hp cars with Nistune remaps which sail through epa inspections so im sure any other shop can do the same.

OKay this thread has scared me half to death didnt realise epa rta whatever was so full on interstate suddenly Darwin seems better,

problem is im moving to QLD is it anywhere near as harsh there?
