OK,

the engine control unit can be replaced by an aftermarket PFC, Motec, haltec or the likes!

So these manage the engine and AC etc.

I have no climate control or AC.

No hicas either.

Keeping attessa.

So , will the EMS unit simply look after the engine whilst there must be a sepperate box to control the lighting , indicators and the attessa and dash cluster- tacho etc ??

As you can see i am unclear as to what controlls what .

your input is appreciated.

Lights, indicators are controlled by their own switches (no "ECU", so to speak).

I'm not sure which way it works, but there is some reliance between ECU and tacho.

The only thing I can say for sure is that the ATTESSA ECU needs an input from the TPS, via the main ECU.

Thanks for your input, this is starting to clarify a little.

So if one uses an aftermarket ecu , how does one link the attessa to that , TPS throttle positioning switch ?

Not sure about this association?

If the replacement ECU you install is a plug'n'play, then it should be OK.

If you use a full re-wire unit, then it requires an aftermarket "black box" to get ATTESSA to work. I had to do this when I installed a WOLF in my GTS4 - I used a full re-wire (later found I could have used a GT-R plug'n'play) - so needed the Wolf black box to get ATTESSA back.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
