daninchainz Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Trying to find a straight forward answer and see if anyone has had any experience with a 20det ecu in a plus T. So I have a 20de ecu running in my plus T, stock injectors have been cleaned and a walbro 255 installed with adjustable fpr. It runs fine, boost fine, only on 5psi to be safe but looking to bump it up to about 7-10psi and was wondering if the red 20det injectors will work with the install of a 20det R32 ecu, I have found someone saying the timing is different and therefore will pre ignite etc. Surely someone has experience with this, my other option is a $130 speedlab chip for a plus T to run with red injectors.

Ben C34 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 If you can't afford an ecu to run an engine properly, you can't afford to modify the car. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480187-rb20det/#findComment-7928912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmknights93 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 My advice would be to save your $$ and when you can buy a turbo motor & ecu setup. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480187-rb20det/#findComment-7928914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run a bad tune and your 500 dollar motor will be worth 0 dollars in a hurry.

daninchainz Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 These aren’t the answers I’m looking for, I’m asking if anyone has done it before. Obviously a decent ecu and det motor will be the best option (which in the future I will go for) but for now I am asking a simple question Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480187-rb20det/#findComment-7928917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Oh sorry, I will try again. Yeah will work sweet. That's why every does it and reccomends it all the time. Is that a better answer? May be the one you are looking for? 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480187-rb20det/#findComment-7928919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSBoy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Why are we going back to the era of broke-arse ex-R31 owners wanting to modify R32s etc? It's f**king bizarre.

I didn't read all the way through but the main point is most people (except a fellow Kiwi I know!) used some kind of tuning device - power fc or emanage etc. No one is saying that you can't add a turbo to a DE motor (although its not the best option) but rather that its difficult to account for different compression ratios, injectors etc without any means of tuning as the OP proposes.

It's like the $3.50 needed to buy the turbo and manifold off some failed project is available, and not a cent more.

You can buy the actual board direct from Nistune but they sometimes come up on TradeMe.

GTSBoy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) But we're talking about New Zealand here. You can drive from Wellington to anywhere else in the Nth Island in what? 6 hours? Where I grew up we used to drive that far on a Saturday night just to go to the speedway.
