NEW ECU Decisions. New Input!!!!!

[J2fast]

im on Aem V1, havent really had it running well on it, dont know whats wrong but sent off to aem b/c there engineers havent seen this issue either. but never the less im willing to try aem again but was thinking maybe there new Infinity ecu. BUT i have heard nothing but good things about the Haltech. what are you guys thoughts???????

[Yellow4g63]

Who ever will give you the best support and the one your tunner knows best. Have you sent your AEM V1 back to aem yet to see if anything is wrong with it?

Well I'm the tuner and I know aem but just problems with aem is why I'm thinking go else where. But wanted to other people opinions on it. Yes I sent it in hopefully I'll hear back next week.

AEM V2 has been around a while and lots of people are using it successfully. The V1 AEM was notoriously bad and actually resulted in the destruction of several RB's.

I'd recommend Haltech Platinum Pro for a cost competitive alternative. You don't have to mess around with the CAS disc, the software is intuitive, and their tech support always tries to solve your problem instead of simply taking your money and wishing you the best of luck.

If you have more money to spend, there's always ProEFI, Motec, Vi-pec, etc.

yes thats what i was leaning towards but, idk if anyone was having faith in the the Infinity or not. plus i heard Haltech will be having a new ecu pretty soon. is that true? and the higher dollar Ecu's dont really seem to offer much more nowadays compared to...

I went with the haltech platinum pro. We will see how it runs if my wiring harness ever shows up.

did you use anything before going to haltech?

[RRRRB]

I have the platinum pro myself.. the lack of being able to really change trigger settings sucks.. I have pretty severe rpm fluctuations above 7k rpm

I want to run the aem cas disk for lower trigger resolution but I havent been able to get it to work..

That's kinda a deal breaker. I thought haltech didn't have those issues. Thanks for the heads up

[RRRRB]

They have the option to use of the Ross trigger setup but that's totally over priced (like 1200 bucks for a couple sensors and a few cnc'd parts..

Your best bet is to use the platinum sport ecu as it allows all of the trigger changes, it doesn't have knock control though..

Kinda stupid on Haltechs part the RPM fluctuations on RB engines are a known problem yet they only allow users to have 2 options on triggers.. Its just a software modification thats needed to remedy the issues.. which they just came out with software for the Ross trigger..

Im hoping over time they change it further to allow the use of other more cost effective setups

Hhhhhmmmm I'm wondering if aem v2 is a better choice since the cas issue has been resolved in that ecu!

[RRRRB]

yeah might be a better option.. the AEM V1 works fine with their CAS disk (24-1) which you want anyways for less trigger resolution.

Well that's the setup I have now but not able to get to mom to work.

[Seishuku]

Since no one else has said it... MegaSquirt 3 has native support for a few OEM Nissan discs, RB25 and SR20 right now, and working on adding more...
A little more work setting it up (wiring, software is no harder than AEM/Haltech/whatever), but it's worth it if you can.

did you use anything before going to haltech?

Yea, I was using a Power FC before this setup.

Old setup was 750cc injectors, 93 pump, walbro 255, PFC, Z32 Maf

New setup is 1000cc injectors, E85, Fuelab pump, 3 bar map/AIT, and the haltech.

I should see considerable gains with a smaller turbo, or atleast thats what i'm shooting for

[J2fast]

so i got my ecu back. AEM says theres nothing wrong with it but of course they just dont know why its not working. so i started messing around in they and played with the dwell settings and brought it down to .32. yes read right .32ms. that finally got my car to stop timing drift. WTF is going on with this???? no one including AEM has any idea about why are how to fix it. This is with stock RB25 Series 2 coils.

[RRRRB]

I ended up getting the Aem CAS disk to work with the haltech platinum pro ecu..

The disk has the 1 tooth home oposite of the stock nissan disk from what i can see, data logging events with the ecu showed this.. i switched the 2 signals wires on the Cas plug and adjusted the trigger angle to 450 degrees and it runs great.

I'm on the fence on a new ECU as well. On Haltech's website, it says the Platinum Pro works with all factory sensors. Does this mean you could unplug an all stock RB and plug in the Platinum Pro? I have ID1000's, a q45 TB, and a blow through N62. Would the setup be straight foreword, or a pain in the a*s? Do you have to go in and setup everything for the IACV and air regulator, or does it have the factory parameters already in it for idle?

[RRRRB]

Yes you could.. it plugs right in.. i deleted my air regulator and just used the ecu to modify hot and cold iacv duty. All the parameters are pretty much in it.. haltech has a bunch of cal. Files for all kinds of different sensors as well.. so you can just load in the cal. File for what ever sensor your running.. why do you want to use a maf with a standalone? The haltech has a built in 2.5 bar map sensor..

I was just curious about the MAF thing.
