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.

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.

Cheers

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

    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
    • ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
    • I'm going to run hard lines front to back in the future. That should help dissipate a bit more heat. If not, a fuel cooler might be next 
    • No. The mark is with respect to the cam rotation. None of those things have altered it. When stationary, the cam position stays in sync with the crank position. It doesn't matter if you moved the head 4 feet up. Hence, that mark needs to stay exactly where it is.
