Damn looks like it is aftermarket.

I was hoping I can pick one up cheap from the wreckers but seems like it may be harder to find.

It was this:

Just curious why u ask whether I have standard ecu or not. Can't the standard ECU's use map sensors?

Its stock as a rock so Im guessing it still has Afm.

double check you have the std ECU, the Fcon Pro can use a map sensor to run the car..

since your link isn't working for me i can see what it is your pointing too...

your car still have an AFM?

Oh is that so? Maybe that was the reason why the hose was disconnected from the map sensor initially (i assume they had an a/m ecu and then took it out before they sold it to me).

Yes when i was installing the pod there was that black plastic box near where the pod sits - I thought this was the MAF sensor. Interchangable terms?

p.s Im guessing its standard ecu as it has Nissan on it and the model number - MEC-R126 (Edit: Confirmed by this site http://eparts.jp/parts_detail.htm?brandcode=30425019)

Andyn,

As others have already pointed out the R32s use an airflow meter and not MAP. The MAP sensor on the firewall adjacent to the brake booster is used for the factory boost gauge and I assume this is what you are referring too?

No I checked the part number and it is a map sensor part from the PowerFC - however in my current setup its currently doing nothing.

So what I think has happened is that the previous owner had a pfc, and he took it out and put standard ecu back in (leaving the map sensor in but unplugged).

So Now i have detached this lose hose and everything is running fine. Im pretty sure this is what has happened.

Thanks for ur replies. Kicked up a stink about nothing :D

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
