BIOS can be updated by any HKS Power Excel tuner, and they usually do it when you go in for a tune (well that's the way it works in Japan anyways), so feel free to take it to one of em. Croydon Auto Sports is a Power Excel tuner I think (either that or they have the software pirated). Contact Jim there he might be able to help you out (apparently he's the one that works with the Power Fc tuning).

yeah they do have the Jap software, and yeah its an Apexi farken 2 in the morning u want me to keep track of brand names :P

Personally I've never been to CRD, and the closest official Power Excel tuner I know of is in Auckland or something. So unless you're willing to take your car overseas, your options are limited.

BIOS updates only update the OS anyway, most of them would be just finetuning the bugs that may pop up due to conflicts in inputs and overflows due to erroneous sensors. Make sure your car works OK, and the PFC should work well.

      Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.

      Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao

      What's this Foreign Object?

      It's a fuel pump. EFI, high pressure, but specs otherwise unknown. A bodge job.

      800 engine horsies is fine. Will need all the obvious upgrades. Rods, pistons, oil pump, big sump, sump breathing mods. Build for revs because revs are power with less stress on the bottom end compared to boost. Keep the torque down in the midrange, either by limiting boost or timing.

      Hiya guys,    i’m currently in the process of getting my rb26 built. everything is being replaced with better/upgraded parts or oem when that’s good enough (which isn’t alot lol). someone earlier mentioned to me that i’ll be screwed cause the iron block can’t take 800hp (to the engine, not wheels) which is what it’s being built for.  what do you guys think about this, am I cooked or na? The guy building the engine will also do the mapping as he is “the guru of old nissan engines” here in Belgium. I know the mapping makes a huge deal so i’m not concerned about that.    I honestly he’s talking shit cause he’s that kinda guy but a second opinion never hurt anyone! cheers in advance! 🫶🏻
