It's ECU Upgrade Time! The old faithful Platinum Pro Plugin ECU has been around for over a decade and the fact that it's still being made, sold and supported is a testimony to its original design. Of course now, with the Elite Series, there is a newer, better alternative but does that make the Platinum Pro obsolete? In this episode of Technically Speaking we ask and answer this very question using a real life case study - Motive Video's Nissan R32 GT-R.
Thanks for your help guys. Can confirm the ECU upgrade was very much worth it for our car before continuing development. Flat shift is epic, drivability is improved with all the long term fuel gtrim and improved sensor reading at 9000+rpm helps too
Well this video has come out just in time. I have been going back and forth on doing this upgrade now or next year. Guess I will ordering mine this week! Thank you very much!
Great informative video as usual with thanks to Motive and Haltech for taking the time to explain so much. I would love to see the Haltech technical opinions on the SR20, similar to the review they did on the Barra 6 about a year ago.
I have a question why dont we see turbo timers much? 10 years ago every turbo car had one is this because most new turbo are ballberring and its no longer needed?
Yeah I was an apprentice at tuning company in the early 00’s and the lads there said there boys toys your not smashing the boost to your front door and if you are your neighbours must love you 😂
Not all Elite series support DBW throttle. A previous video said they all did as this one implies. It was months ago I rang but I think it was only the elite 1500 (4cyl) & 2500 units.
question about the drive by wire i know in the chrysler vehicles that i work on day to day have drive by wire but the customer stepping on the throttle in those vehicle is more of a request for throttle, are these types of drive by wire controlling actual real time throttle input as the driver presses the pedal?
From what I have been reading about DBW is that from factory the response is made for the "everyday driver". If you can access the ecu then you can change the DBW response time to suit the driver.
