R33 Gtr Mines Ecu Vs Standard Ecu

[BCNR33GT-R]

hi just after some answers,i have a mines computer in my R33 GTR although i was told to get rid of it, Would i be better off getting a standard ECU for the time being or just leave it?? whats the difference between the two and which is better?

regards,

tom

Whats the current list of mods done to the car?

[BCNR33GT-R]

ARC FMIC,Greddy radiator,HKS Pipe kit from FMIC,apexi suction kit with k&N pods,Blitz dump pipes,3" exhaust

[BCNR33GT-R]

Oh and Bosch 500hp fuel pump

The difference is, the Mine's ECU might blow up the engine via over aggressive timing which even our best 98RON isn't suited for, while the stock ECU won't. Standard ECU will be fine for those mods (assuming stock turbos are fitted).

[BCNR33GT-R]

will it run better with standard ECU?

[Moodles2]

No. But we can recommend good engine rebuilders in your area if you want to keep using the Mine's ECU.

who do u suggest?

Get a power FC & tune... Will net more power and better fuel economy... Pretty common for 32/33R ones too - should be 600-900 for one.

who do u suggest?

haha, the mines chips i've seen have usually just got more timing and boost speed etc cuts removed

[Moodles2]

Higher rev limits too

Friend of mine had a mines ecu in his r33, ended up keeping it and just winding the base timing down by 2-3 degrees or so.

Paul u seem to know abit about the gtrs, should i just keep the mines ecu or get standard? I usually run 15-16 pounds all day everyday no problems, And thats giving it hell most times haha

Havent we already said that they are a aggressive ecu and that you would be better off with the standard one.

Or just keep running it and risk blowing shit up

[BCNR33GT-R]

yeah everyone has different opinions, but yeah probs will go for standard..haha

[Hadouken]

In all sincerity, I believe that would be the wisest decision man.

[BCNR33GT-R]

haha yeah of course.

If you have access to a dyno stick it on and see if the mines ecu is right for your car - if it is yippee if not bin it. BTW while the general opinion is that Mines ecus are only good for the car/engine they were chipped for allegedly some are actually tunable so check that before you consign it to the bottom of the sea.
