Hi ppls,

I pulled the pfc out of the car today to check it out as I did something silly causing me to also replace 1 main 75amp fuse and a 10amp fuse, well... silly doesn't do me justice, I would like to call my self .... a stupid f*cking mental retarded dumb sh*t.

Now that I've got that off my chest back on topic.

I've attached a few pics, what I've found interesting is there's an RB25 stamp in there and a couple of the ecu pins have been rewired. I'll edit the post after I trace what numbers they are and what they do.

With regards to the ecu pinouts.. From memory I believe the r32 and r33 had 2 differences in the pin outs, again from memory I'm sure 2 of the inj. outputs (or was it coil) were required to be swapped.

So essentially this is what they have done.

that looks nothing like an rb25 PFC.

The CPU processor type you have is completely different.

RB25 users will have 7F83 CPU, would be interested in what an RB26 PFC inside looks like, no idea what the riser slot is for ???

Looks like that dude from the US was onto something when he said u had to rewire some pins to use a rb25 pfc on a rb20 :)

if you're refering to carl h, then yeah he used my car as a gunnie pig for that. it works, and i believe its the #5 and 6 injectors that fire opposite between the 2 engines, but don't quote me on that.

definately looks like they just swap the injector wires around. i've got an rb25det power fc running my stroked rb20det. all i did was swap those 2 wires externally, selected z32 afm and set the injector pulse and duty cycle up for gtr injectors and it started and ran like factory.

interesting though that the boards arn't the same, i have a 5.11 rb25 pfc but not really willing to open it if its going to void my warrenty..

kwazza11,

So that is 100% all you did? Simply swap the inj. outputs?

I've attached an excel file that depicts the two pinouts, flick between the two tabs to see the highlighted differences. There are a few, one which is of concern is the rb25 lacks the rb20's throttle valve switch (pin 54) and in place of the rb20's throttle valve power (pin 57) it has the exhaust temp sensor signal.

On the RB25's ecu pin 17 Injection pulse TI monitor, I wonder if this is the R33's Rich and retard mechanism, it see's x inj. duty cycle then does its mental power dips from there on wards. It would be interestering if the rb25 pfc has this internally connected, if not then I would suggest it does exactly what I stated.

I'll throw the GTR pin out in there now.

ecu_pinout_compare.zip

"Rich and Retard" is simply the higher air flow/load cells having no ignition timing in them, and the fuel cells at this load are rich.

That is why it cuts, no timing in those load cells.

If you could remap the ecu to put some extra ignition timing in those load cells, you wouldn't have a rich and retard situation.

The TI monitor is more then likely a signal for a trip computer to calculate show current fuel usage.

Also the lack of the throttle switch input, will not matter as the RB25 PowerFC uses the throttle position sensor, not switch. (So it won't matter that its not there.)

From what you have found Cubes, all you have to do is reverse pins 112 & 114 and cut 57 to be safe. (I doubt this pin is connected in the PowerFC though?)

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
