[bman2033]

well i was just wonderingifanyone has seen the redline sr20det ecu tune on ebay, well here it is

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

just take a minute to look at it, i have about this guy before and i have not read anything bad about hi just that he dos not have a reputation like JWT or ethanoply or however you spell it. isthis ecu good if i am pretty much running everything that he has listed on there, and i have a t25 oem s15 urbo will this work with this ecu, from what he says on the listing???

[yokota180sx]

noif you get it, i hope your **** blows up

no two motors are the same, i dont care what anyone says

[da40]

ebay!! all man u got balls

[bman2033]

but how can you say that no 2 engines are the same, when you send your ecu to JWT he does not have your car there with him on a dyno or anything he is baseing his tune for that ecu off of another car am i right. so think about what you are saying before you say 2 cars are not a like mechanicaly yeah a car can be different, but when people do tunes and you send your ecu to them they base it off of some car previously tuned.

[bman2033]

and for you to say ebay....watch out, its just a company getting there services out there another way, how do you think JWT got there name out there and also at the beginning JWT probably had those daring few people to let him do there tune on there cars and by word of mouth JWT became big. Im not defending this guy online im hust saying that dont judge a book by its cover.

[yokota180sx]

CHeck your Tune from JWT, Enthalpy etcthey will all be slightly rich. You cant ever get it perfect, Diferent engines have turbos in different conditions, internals in different conditions etc etc etc

No two motors are the same

[bman2033]

i know that, i said mechanically your right but when you send a ecu to get it tuned they are baseing your tune off of another car.

[yokota180sx]

You know whatGo ahead, dont listen to someone that actually knows WHy did you post about it if you dont want legit advise?

[Rosco]

I bought my Mine's tuned ECU off Ebay.....My car runs great.....Granted it's just a "boost-up" ECU....I've never heard of Redline for ECU tuning though...Redline Oil is good though..

[yokota180sx]

as long as you get the correct Mines its not a big deal. as you said its just a Boost up. Like a cheap boost controller. ive sold a couple of em lol

Enthalpy tunes run leaner than JWT....another reason they tend to yield higher HP results than JWT...

haha don't listen to yokota180sx, he doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.

there are basically two things they need to know about your car...

what injectors you are usingwhat MAFS you are running.

turbo, exhaust, shift knob... all those items don't matter

btw i have a friend who has a redline ECU and it idles like a stock car. haven't had a chance to bring it to a dyno yet though

[Rosco]

Yeah I like it, for now at least.....Apexi Power FC is my next item to purchase for engine management...Also, if you are going to get that Redline tunes ECU....I would highly recommend you get an SAFC to at least be able to "tune" it a little safer.....In hindsight, I should have just saved up at bought a Power FC from the beginning....

[yokota180sx]

hah, turbo doenst matter huh?So your telling me that if you get a tune for a an engine and you tell them you have 550s and a z32 mafsthat it has no impact waht turbo you have?

I cant believe i just saw someone type thatIts going in my sig on zilvia as one of the ......um....most unthought out comments ever made. (i was nice on this one!)

And to think, i can get a Enthalpy tune for some 555s a z32 and just slap a apexi RX-6 turbo without problems huh

you know what, this guy just wants to hear what he wants to hear. So go ahead and get this ecu.

Actually, he's right. The two main determinants in a tune are what type of AFM you are running and what flowrate your injectors are. That's the beauty of an airflow metering system. If you were running a speed density (MAP) based system, then every little mod you have would matter.

[bman2033]

i think vlow1210 is right cause you can have 740cc injectors and a z32 maf which these items are alot better than stock, and have a stock t25 turbo and you will be able to tune it alot better and have it run higher boost, ect. You can have small, medium,or big size turbo that does not matter if you dont have the correct components thatare esintialy powering the turbo aturbo spins on air. but that air is produced by the engine so it seems to me that the engine components do matter alot more than just what size turbo it is.

[yokota180sx]

i call complete and utter bull****wheres that bull**** flag at

Im leaving this thread now. Apparently people dont actually use your brain

Go ahead and get yourself a tune for some 550s and a Z32 mafs. throw a rx6 turbo on it and call it a day. Youll make power for about 4000 RPM before your not going anywhere elseDo you know hoe many 12 and 11 second DSMs ive built. Same exact tuning process. And you dont just tune for injectors and MAFS

[96EclipseGST]

Ok. Wow. One sided much? Look... He's correct on the point that JWT and companies like that tune off other cars, which may be different from your own. The AFs will never match exactly, however, i would not throw my money away on a company with no reputation. Spend the extra 180 bucks and buy an Enthalpy. Or hell, spend an extra 400 and buy a PowerFC. I would NOT put my motor in the hands of someone i have never heard of.

[vlow1210]

hehe yokota180sx go call JWT and put an end to this friendly debate

[bman2033]

i guess no one has really heard of this company redline, i mean that is allim really asking and thats waht my original question was, if any of you out there thats has heard of this company and no good or bad reviews from them let me know, i dont want to hear how they are not a established company i want to hear people who have used there ecus or know of there ecus and how they perform.

[StayBOOSTEDSR]

I never really liked mail-tunes, But here is an example. I have a friend who's running the same I mean same setup at me. I have a different downpipe and exhuast. I pull on him all the time. I really think the best way to tune is get it on the dyno. All motor's to me are different.
