Hi

I am about to have a full exhaust system done on my series 2, RS Four S.

Not sure at this point wether to get twin dump pipe or just a bellmouth.

I will also be getting a Blitz LM return flow intercooler installed and was wondering if I will need to have the car tuned with aftermarket ecu piggyback or maybe Nistune board.

Or will the car run fine with the standard ecu ?

Any help would be great thanx

Since you have a S2 you would benefit from getting a Nistune fitted and tuned. The car will run on the stock ecu but from stock they all run very rich and a tune will benefit economy and/or performance and help your engine live longer.

Do the exhaust and the intercooler first if you want and get the Nistune as soon as you can.

Yes if you can source an R34 GT-t PFC and run 3.7v to pin 51 on the ecu to get around traction control you can use a PFC.

If you just gut your existing cat you get the same thing for free. More power noise very slightly increased.

nistune is about $350 without the software (off the top of my head)

+ cost of tune

pfc is $1000+

+cost of tune

with an exhaust and no tune on 7psi my rs4s was making 135awkw

10psi and a nistune + tune will get you near 200awkw

a guy i know with another rs4s said the tune was the most noticable mod he has done so far

also, the cost of tuning a nistune would only be a little more than a piggyback but you will get much better results

I already have Greddy power extreme exhaust, blitz intercooler, Greddy oil catch tank, JJR bellmouth dump pipe all awaiting to be installed. I will also be getting Splitfire coil pack and from what your all saying is I need Nistune board fitted, boost controller and then a tune. What kind of power should I then expect to see ?

Hey mate, perhaps jump into the Forced Induction performance thread and have a flick through the recent pages of the RB25 dyno results. That will give you something to go off, and then you can see what to expect. With the stock turbo, people don't push too hard.

Have you bothered to read anything in your own thread? I swear this has been asked and/or answered already more than once.

And right there is the reason a lot of people don't get on these forums cause there's always someone who has to show some infant ism.

I am merely asking to clarify so as not to get told some bs from a workshop. After all isn't that what this is here for. C'mon

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
