rb20det ecu/piggy back

[jesse0357]

hi all,
not to sure if this is the right section to ask this question, but seems to be right since the rb motor specific forum is gone, and my rb20 is in a s13.
has anyone use the e-Manage Ultimate piggy back system? im in need of a way to tune my rb20det. ive had it rom tuned but need it done again for upgrades doing, and not to sure what happened to Carl H but hes who did the rom tune. let me know if you have or are using it and how it works or what you recomend using or getting with out braking the bank like an AEM ecu will.
thanks.

How about a used Apexi Power FC & Handcommander (optional) ? Nice tuning, better then E-manage (in my opinion), and cheaper then the AEM.

[jesse0357]

If I can fine a power fc with the handcommander for under 1000 I would. Thats what I really want!

Look for Japandyno at Ebay. He is based in Japan and can get his hands on almost everything. Also his prices are very reasonable !

[jesse0357]

Thanks! ill check that out.

Nistune board and software = $550ish.

[jesse0357]

I tried to get ahold of them atleast the closest nistune certified dealer to me and. Never heard back. Plus I really dont want to wait 2-4 weeks to get my ecu back

[Yellow4g63]

Why would you wait that long? get it installed locally at a TV repair shop.

[jesse0357]

Its just a daughter board with usb plug right. I havent really researched nistune to much. What can be tuned using it fuel, air fuel, ???

[Yellow4g63]

You install the board into ecu, plug consult cable into laptop and tune away. change injectors/mafs set rev limiter, play with timing and furl map. it's a type 2 board if I remember right. I had it before I went to aem.

[jesse0357]

So it works pretty good? Hows that aem working for you? I may just go with aem instead of getting something I may end up replacing anyway

[Yellow4g63]

working great so far love it. I'm not running the maf on the aem, was a pain to get it running tho

[jesse0357]

I need to put the z32 on mine right now im having a fuel/ ignition cut right now. Im running lean so im pretty sure its fuel cut.

[outlaw7]

I'm considering trying out pro efi, the pupra guys seem to be having much success with them and my buddy gets good deals on them.

[Yellow4g63]

I need to put the z32 on mine right now im having a fuel/ ignition cut right now. Im running lean so im pretty sure its fuel cut.

Be happy with the fuel cut it's prob saving your motor lol. Get the nistune and start tuning your s***. The drop down menu for maf selection and adjusting for injector size is pretty straight forward. There is a manual you can download from them to teach you how to setup the car. Just don't try to run a blow through setup with a Ford lightning maf lol you will get no help.

[jesse0357]

Oh yeah im glad its doing the cut, it just sucks! Can I just order the board straight off the nistune website? It sounds like thats all I need right now. Ill just be doing bigger injectors, z32 maf, maybe cams, and maybe a forward facing intake plenum. I found a Japanese company that makes a pretty decent one for around 400 shipped looks like a RIPS idk though may just stick with the good old stocl one.

[jesse0357]

Oh does nistune send you install paperwork? Just curious on how a tv repair guy would know how to put it in.

[Yellow4g63]

The install info is on the web page that you download. Yes you can order it right from them that's how I did my last 2. Should be a good deal I think the AUD is lower than the USD right now. Make sure you get the consult cable too.

[jesse0357]

Yeah I was just looking at all of it so thays what ill be getting atleast for now I need to be able to tune on the fly

[Yellow4g63]

You have a wideband? You will need one to tune your car.

[jesse0357]

Yup its just the aem one I just put it in so hopefully I have it in the right place

[Yellow4g63]

how far from the turbo?

[jesse0357]

Around 30" I believe thats how far back I went id have to measure again.

[Yellow4g63]

If it's about where the cat would go that's fine. I had mine a few inches from the flange of the down pipe. Not the 02 housing off the turbo but the down pipe Mckinney sells.

[jesse0357]

Id say mines in the middle of my down pipe. My wideband reads weird though, it bounces around from 13.5-15 and off the chart when I start to boost.

[ben h]

instead of making a new thread so how good is nistune and i dont think i have the cunsult plug in my car how do u tune with it is there a plug that will come right out of the ecu?

[Yellow4g63]

91-95 sentra at junk yards have the consult cable in drivers side kick panel. you can splice it near the ecu. you just have to look it up.
