i just got a chipped worked ecu for my r32

the ecu came from an rb20det c33 laurel

now for some reason when plugged in the car just keeps turning over and doesnt do much else....

then we tried it in my mates r32....did the same thing....but thats when we noticed!!

the fuel pump wasnt turning on!!

whats the deal....is the c33 laurel pinout different to the r32????????

if so....does anyone know where i need to re route the fuel pump to??

any ideas???

You can run your fuel pump directly off an ignition source in a pinch until you can find the right pinout diagram and then rewire it correctly.

This assumes that the rest of the pins are the same, as cranking the engine has nothing to do with the ecu.

HArd wiring the fuel pump is a bad idea. If you have a accident and the fuel line gets damaged/broken the fuel pump will continue to pump fuel out of the broken fuel line while the ignition is on.

With the original ECU and aftermarket ECU's the computer will shut down the fuel pump when the engine stops sending the an ignition signals i.e. when the engine stops.

you can hard wire the pump but you will need a special relay... the use it on gas conversions . it allows the system to prime when the key is turned on, runs for two secs then shut off, then when ya crack or car is runnin the relay is locked on( uses a tacho signal). when the motor stops the relay unlocks... and stops pumpin fuel. relay cost about 30-40 bucks...... i had to use it on a conversion on one of my other cars.... i hope this helps

i only hardwired the pump for a second to see if it was the only plug wrong on the ecu....but it still wouldnt run...so id say there is many many plugs out of whack...

so if anyone has a genuine laurel pinout diagram...or even a cefy pinout diagram...

that would help!!

I have a Cefiro (presume the same RB20DET as the Laurel) and I can tell you that the R32 uses a more recent version of the RB20DET than the A31 (and possibly the C33). I know the wiring looms arent compatible because my car runs all the older type of plugs (square) where as the R32 runs the rounder plugs etc. I think my ignition system is the same as the R31 RB20DET. So it runs a much older ECU etc. perhaps this is why yours isnt working because it may be expecting different voltages etc

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
