    what ecu's work best

    in Nissan RB Forum

    Posted

    Well, I guess I thought the Wolf V500 system was pretty good because I just bought one. Comes with a dashboard tuner, which I'm kinda excited about. Member posted on this thread (I think) about the problems he was having with the EMS on an RB motor, emailed him, now the problem child is mine. LOL

    Intake mani porting...too much for a newb?

    Midnitz, I'm having Lonewolf Performance port the intake manifold. They also offer a coating service. Should I have them coat the interior of the manifold while they have it apart or is this something I can do afterward?

     

    Per your comments above, I plan to coat the exhaust manifold myself. The T3/T4 turbo I recently bought from a member is supposedly coated already, internally I assume, since there is no coating visible on the outside. Should I coat the outside as well?

    Techline is in Murietta, I can get that stuff through work as well, having my offices in Buffalo order what you want, and then appearing in person to 'will call' at their offices...they're about 20 minutes from my house.

     

    Great! Let's chat more about this at MSA, I need to figure out first which products I need to order.

     

    As for 270CFM per runner on a stock manifold, that is significant. I think most L-Heads only flow 210-220cfm in the ports, that would indicate that a stock manifold with optimal porting would flow all the head could take....

     

    Check with Dave Rebello on what your intake port actually flows and match to that.

     

    Dave gave me the work sheet, it provided the flow numbers I quoted above. Are those the numbers you're referring to or should I be asking Dave for something else?

     

    As for thermal blocking / hi tech coatings, I am and have been a big fan for a long time. It's a payback thing, though... Do you really need everything they are offering, or will your money be better spent elsewhere?

     

    Hmmm, I checked the prices on Techline's web site and they seemed pretty reasonable. Time for more research....

    Midnitz, would you bother with Techline's DIY coatings? I may have access to a kiln to cure it....would that help or just not necessary? I think Technline's coatings started around $30, so doesn't seem like much expense or trouble to coat the manifolds.

     

    Would it make more sense to coat the exhaust rather than the intake? Keep the heat down?

    Have To Vent...Disrespectful Kids Today..Throwing Rocks At Cars! My CAR!! :(

    Glad no one was hurt. 8 years ago I was driving on a busy street doing around 40 mph and all of a sudden this water balloon comes flying in my open sun roof and nails me on the side of the head. Imagine what that felt like at that speed! Peeled around the corner, caught the little buggers, who were crapping their pants. Yelled for about 5 minutes and then let them go...probably should have called the cops, maybe they went right back to the same thing the next night, since there weren't any consequences. Good thing the kids in your situation were charged.

    Do you ever get sick of your car?

    Never. Ever. Last year I drove the car 25,000 miles, this year should be closer to 35,000. I've never had a car that is so much fun and just a blast to be behind the wheel. In fact, my wife begged me to buy a 350z and after a test drive I turned her down. Who needs a 300 hp baralounger? My car is my baby, I'd never give her up.

    Pics of my Rustoleum Paint Job

    Trumpet, thanks, but it looks better in the pics...passes the 10' test, that's it. I taped the chrome but next time I'll take it off. In fact, this summer I'll start painting it black...will take the chrome off and have it powder coated black.

     

    Trying to decide if I should sand blast the white Rustoleum off or just paint over it. Leaning toward blasting it....then plan to buy a decent compressor and gun and spray. Govt is changing the rules here in Alberta, trying to put small paint shops and DIY guys out of business...but I should be ok spraying Rustoleum.

    My Head Flow work and graphs.

    Midnitz, valve lift for intake at 209 cfm is .600. At .500 it flowed 201 and at .400 it flowed 198. On exhaust, I'm a bit of a noob and not sure how to read the data sheet. I have no idea what the grind is on the cam. Rebello chose the cam for the PO when they first worked on the head 4-5 years ago. My plan was to get everything installed, see how it runs, then down the road get a custom cam ground. Guess I better file away that data sheet where I can find it again....

    valeo clutch/flywheel kit 189$ (plz RPLy)

    Bo's point, as usual, is right on the $$. If you want quality, take his advice. If you're like me, cheap and need something to tide you over until you can afford the good stuff, the Valeo might work. I paid $65 for clutch and pp on eBay, under $200 to have a shop in Bakersfield do the install...if it lasts a year I'll consider myself ahead of the game. And so far, so good.

    Wow what an impressive spoiler

    Thanks for posting the pic...at one time I actually considered a wing like that and wondered what it would look like. I have seen one or two wings I liked on a first gen Z, but IMHO that isn't one of them. They're cheap, I think on ebay about $50, but don't suit the car.

    Videographers and YouTube

    Make the highest quality uncompressed AVI file you can. Use that as the source file for the WMV encoder. Then experiment with the audio and video codec settings, e.g. mono instead of stereo, two pass encoding, etc. You should be able to make a WMV file that plays great on youtube with no or minimal motion artifacts. Remember, if you have lots of action and motion, you need more fps and less compression.
