Unfortunately i have no idea man..

I brought the car as stock rb25 with a highflowed turbo

Then discovered the Nistune and now turbo

If i put a stock ecu in, it throws a nock sensor code and idles extremely rough and rich

Nistune only runs 1 knock sensor and it idles and and drives very smoothly and it doesnt smell like it runs rich, yet to calculate fuel consumption

Will be getting it to a nistune tuner as soon as everything else is sorted


Probably an RB20 ECU that runs with the nistune and apparently most nistuned RB20 runs entirely on the knock map so the tuner copy the main fuel and ignition maps into the knock map and it runs normally. Mine is setup like that, it constantly runs on the knock map with or without the knock sensors plugged in, even with the 1M resistor shunt to ground to replace the knock sensor. The ECU doesn't throw any code but still runs only on the knock map.

What is your ECU reference ?

According to my notes 446179-0032 is a 56 compressor trim GT2871R cartridge .

From memory what you have on the cold side is an early HKS type machined inlet shroud which they used on the RB six cylinder versions of their 2530Rs 2535Rs and 2540Rs . The GTRSs had a unique port shrouded compressor housing on the RB versions and the four cylinder versions had a Nissan/Garrett style compressor housing . The RB version used a 52 compressor trim version of the 2871R . I think the 2530 cartridge number was 446179-0021 , the 2535 446179-0019 , and the 2540 446179-0018 . I think the GTRS cartridge is 446179-0067 .

To me it looks like someone had a HKS spec turbo and hi flowed it with a Garrett marketed 2871 56T cartridge .

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
