Urgent Loan Of Auto Gts4 Ecu For Five Min. In Melb.


Recommended Posts

Can someone in Melb loan me their HR 32 RB20DET Automatic ECU so I can try on the spot to see if mine is faulty?

Get error code 34 - Knock sensor - but have replaced them and checked continuity from new sensors to ECU connector pins all OK. The voltage on the pins is also correct as per the service manual.

So the only thing left to do is just swap the ECU and see if another one says error 34 as well.

Tune on ROM probably does not matter as I think it will show error just trying to start it anyway.

But if you have a chiped ROM anyway we could just swap mine in for the test if you agree, but wont matter if not as I think just trying to start will do the job.

I can drive the GTS4 if I dont put it into boost much as the computer seems to dump the boost and shut the revs down when gets near 6 PSI.

HELP! This is driving me CRAZY!! :)

Anyone with any other suggestions please post here now! - THANKS!

I've still got my original, but it's for a manual. Will that make any difference in terms of getting the error?

Have you reset the ECU to clear any residual errors (they are persistant for something like 50 "start" cycles).

Thanks Greg, manual may not make any diff as I prob dont need to drive it, just start it and see if the error comes up.

It's strange as the other day I went for a test with Glenn and we started it about five times and Newkleers LCD Consult box said that it was <0> since error read each time even though not cleared for those five times.

You clear it and it comes straight back but does not increment as it should.

Have solved the cutting out problem by datalogging the problem on the road and exporting to excel graphs and found that at the point of dying the revs hit 3000 and the timing skyrockets to 60' BTDC.

This was with ECU ROM from SA Tuner mod by Dr Drift.

But then replaced with latest ROM from Dr Drift just before engine bearings blew from no oil pressure because of screws coming out in back of oil pump.

Latest ROM has solved the cutting out problem and datalogged a clean run to 7000 RPM all OK.

The reason I had swaped ROMs was the car was running like a dog for some reason which I eventually traced to the ECU Daughter PCB positioning in the ECU case.

Still has the error 34 showing so would like to try your ECU sometime soon.

Six years of trouble free punishing it has sure caught up to me over the last four years!!

the start count is the number of times engine has started since it last saw the code. 0 means its a current issue.

start count isnt the number of times the ecu has seen the code

Thanks for clarifying that Peter, I was wondering if your box was faulty but KNEW that could not be the case. :P

This issue of the ECU Error 34 is frustrating the hell out of me.

Do you know of the implications of this fault effecting Timing etc.?

I am assuming it will switch to a different map to retard in case of overboost/detonation condition with no knock sensor working.

I want to get the car dynoed but can't till I sort this error out.

if u can post a datalog of driving around (with a bit of full throttle/load) that might show a bit.

basically youd be looking as to whether ignition timing is retarded more than it should be (i think this is the standard anti-knock protection?)

i also have code 34 on my sr20det, which seems to be common. u can trick the ECU into thinking its ok with some resistor mod i think

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
