is it possible to run a series 1 rb25det on a r32 ecu i only ask because the 25 is in a s13 and is allready not using the few things like the speed dependant power steering and the vct has been removed from the engine there is also a few other bits and pieces that were removed.

in short is it possible as i would like the option of a cheap remappable ecu

By the time you purchase the parts, ECU... and change a few things over to make it work.

You'll be close in terms of costings to PowerFC and that sorta thing.

It can be dont, there was a thread about it some time ago, although i cant remember exactly what it was about but i remember reading something.

Try the search button, might take ya 15mins to wade through some threads but you never know

you might be thinking of the thread asking if the rb25 ECU can be used on the RB20 ..

there are injector pins outs different.

also look at the Power FC FAQ on pauls site

http://paulr33.skylinesaustralia.com in documents

it has the pin out change over GIF that i think cubes made with the differences in teh pinouts.

if your realy keen to do it, start in there

just use the RB20 loom and AFM

so long as the AFM and CAS are RB20 units, it will run.

The AFM will simply read more air flow and compensate with more fuel... so if you have turbo injectors (370 compared with the RB20's 260's) youll find it will run too rich.

i found that the knock sensors are the same units, and by visual inspection the CAS looks to be the same (i will know for sure in a couple of days)

oh and just note that the RB20 ecu has no provisions for the NVCS so you will need to go to Jaycar to sort that out;.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
