As it states ive got a MINES ecu from a S1 R33, which have the ignition module above the coil packs.

I tried to put it in a car which obviously is a S2 RB25 (this doesn't have an ignition module, wether its built into the ecu or the coils i don't know).

anyway plugged it in and it started but ran like shit etc etc........ POURED fuel out the exhaust..

Straight away my thought was Z32AFM, cos the car the mines ecu came out of had one on it. Ive got a Z32 sitting here and we are gonna wire it up once i get a plug, but then i thought maybe it was something to do with the ignition module problem???

any suggestions would be great, we just want to get a bit more power out of my mates car before the weekend.....

MINES ECU = not really any value to you in Australia.

- Support only by MINES offered to original purchaser of unit

- Usually not tunable by anyone else

- Do you know what level of mods it was tuned for? Are you sure?

- Most likely tuned for a higher octane fuel than you'll see locally.

i tried a series 1 remapped ecu on my series 2 rb25 and it felt flat as a tack and had no power at all, but it did start and run ok, just had no power at all, so i dont think they are fully interchangle. as razorsharp said mines ecu is useless in aus, throw in the bin

it was making 173rwkw on a car with 11psi, pod and cat back in AUST...

we figured that it would make more on this engine with FMIC, turbo back zorst/dump pipe and more boost.....

no matter if it doesn't the parts were there to try..... no harm done

any ecu can make lots of max power

but its running mega rich through the entire rev range regardless of load (likely as its mines) then its pointless for everything else other than to waste fuel and do max power dyno runs. youll have terrible economy on the street not to mention the low down response is probably fairly average with standard ign mapping

much better to get a new remap or stand alone

Yeh thanks paul, i know they aren't the best, was just worth a try, till mate can get decent aftermarket computer......

is anyone out there doing remaps of the RB25 ecu? like dr drift doesn't do them......

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
