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

    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
