[david69]

Can some one please tell me why a mines computer are supposed to be so crap.my car goes very well but everything i hear about the mines is that they will blow my engine and i should put my stock one back in.I cannot seem to find any usefull info on this other than that they are good for a paper weight. surely they cant be that bad??? why are they so bad??? if there is already a post on this can someone point me in the right direction cause if you listen to all the negativity about the mines ...i am starting to think that now mine,, is a time bomb.

i dont think the computer itself is a problem, the maps on these computers are for high octane japanese petrol , not suitable even for our PULP,there are many options for aftermarket ecus here in aus so nobody bothers with a mines ecu here (anyone in aus tune them?)

i ran a mines ecu on SR20 and never once had a problem! performed perfectly!

car was copping a flogging on a regular occasion aswell

There are so many different mines ecus majority are just speed "delimited" some are individually tuned to a set of mods.... these kill motors.

i have had a nismo R32 gtr come in for a nistune and it had a mines remap in it and no amount of tuning netted any more power.

so could i buy a second hand nistuned ecu and plug and play for the rb20 with the usual mods without the 600$ dyno tune??

no as it would be tuned to a particular vehicle... never had two cars react identical in 15 years of tuning.

This.

You could buy an RB20 ECU, have Nistune installed into your ECU with a base image. Drive to tuner. Have it tuned.

Or

You could buy an RB20 ECU with Nistune already installed. Drive to tuner, he'll plug in the ECU and start tuning.
