budget performance computer for rb20det

[warpz0r]

hi all

on a budget so which computers are worth it and not?

i have a rb20det with FMIC, 2.5 exhaust...

looking around, these seem to be the best value

E-Manage

Apexi SAFC

jaycar safc (tuning would be a problem though?)

so basically they are all piggy back units..

the apex SAFC would be simpler to tune by your self where as the E-manage needs to be tuned via computer...

any input would be helpful

thanks

Stock Rb20 det computers are tuneable - most reputable shops in Sydney should be able to retune your computer to make better power.

If you ever come to QLD I know a bloke who knows rb20's inside out - has tuned literally hundreds of them.

Can't recommend him enough.

Anything to do with the fueling you wouldn't really want to be tuning by your self.

Fueling really doesn't do a whole lot. Its better than nothing but once you can start fiddling with all the load points, ignition timing & fueling together thats when you get some decent response & average power.

A tune of the standard R32 computer would also be my sugestion:cheers:

What is the recommended power/mod limit for a reburned computer? I was thinking LTX-12, but if I don't need that much... then I don't need that much.

Who out of interest???

Std computer rechipped is the cheapest option.

We charge around $700 including dyno tune to suit each specific vehicle( not a generic chip).

Factory puter is a very good thing and we have RB20 R31's with 280-300rwhp working great plus SR20's , using a plug in board running 400rwhp.

i would stay awy from the Jaycar version of the SAFC but thats just me.. i dont know if i would be daring enough to use something like that..

however, out of that list i would go for SAFC.. or as otherrs mentioned earlier, rechip the stock ECU.. i think Toshi on these boards does it for quite cheap but i personally have not tried his
