Hi,

I have an RB20DET tuned chip for sale for $50. This chip has had the speed (means you can now go over 180 kph) , fuel and boost (mass air flow) cut removed. The ignition and fuel maps optimised to help boost come on slightly and help reach max power.

To install the chip you will need to

- remove ECU from car.

- take the ECU to someone (electronics place) who will de-solder the stock chip

- once the stock chip is removed they will install a cradle.

- once the cradle is in you simply need to slot the new chip into the cradle

- then re-install the ECU.

If you are looking at purchasing a tuned chip or aftermarket ECU etc. you will notice that this price is very cheap. It is not too good to be true, I'm simply not interested in mucking around and would like to get it out there.

The chip will provide you with a top end improvement - it will feel as if the car breathes abit better. Unigroup commented at a SAU dyno day a while back that it was a good power tune. I wish that I had a dyno chart from the day with the A/F line on it - but I don't.

The chip was tuned for a car with FMIC, 1.2 bar boost, pod, exhaust - the usual stuff.

Below is some food for thought for RB20 tuners.

Hi Ed,

It will run just fine at 13 psi (I run only 14 psi). I don't know how much of a difference you will notice on a reasonably stock engine - I recognise the most difference when boost gets up above 12 psi due to the removal of the mass air flow cut. I imagine that any auto electrician can do the work - really anyone with a solder sucker can do it.

Thanks, Ben.

    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
