Gtr Running Standalone- Effects On Attessa?

As per title really.

We got a RB26 to go in a R33GTR here, and its been bench dyno'd running Pectel T6 2000 managment and its now in the car, but not running as yet due to a few mods being done.

But what (if any) effects will not running the standard ECU and engine loom have on the 4wd system?

I thought it was a totally seperate entity with the ATTESSA ECU doing it all, so no effects when binning the standard ECU, but some say otherwise.

So whats the truth? And if there are changes, what mods needs to be done to make it work ok?

Cheers.

There are shared sensor inputs or signals between the ATTESSA and ECU computers. I know for a fact that TPS is one such signal as I had some issues ATTESSA a while back when I was running a single throttle body.

Study the electrical line diagrams from the manual and you will see what I mean.

ATTESSA needs a TPS signal, otherwise it goes into "error" mode.

Advanced Engine Management (Wolf 3D) has a "black box" add-on to provide the signal to the ATTESSA.

EASY MATE. the only wires needed to keep the atessa working is:

tacho (pin 7)

tps signal (pin 38)

need to splice this wire 56 (purple one) into pin 38 as most aftermarket ecus dont have a tps output for other things.

should take about 2 mins to do :)

cheeres :lol:

ps.. make sure you adjust the tps with the engine running to get .04 volts at the output (tps signal input) otherwise code 21 will pop up...

off topic a little bit sorry, but does anyone know if u can hook up the front torque gauge from a gtr onto a stagea series 1 which i dont know if it has the pin out of the attessa ecu or not?

ive got the tps signal hooked up and the tacho so it should work as per normal without the engine ecu and using an autronics smc?

is their anyway of telling if its working correctly without the front torque gauge?

cheers

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
