Hey all. I found out recently that my ecu had been modified while it was in japan (yeah and whos hasen't). They put a "Central 20, SPL Computer Brain" ecu chip in it. My questionis does any one know anything about these ecu's. I would like to get it reprogrammed but don't know where to go for this. I hear that these ecu's are not that common and not many tuners do these units. Is there a reason for this. What makes them so much harder to reprogram. I amm starting to consider changing it back to stock or getting a new ecu such as PFC.

i have a remapped ecu in my 33 and a non remapped ecu that was in the car when i got it.

not many people remap the r33 ecu as it uses different chips to the r32. there are a few places doing it, but i'm not sure who. i think there is a place in brisbane who do it, as my mate apparently had his r33 ecu done down there.

Na it hasn't got a daughter board in it. I opened it up and the square computer chip on the board has been replaced for this "central 20" ecu chip. The chip is in a holder and is removable. I hope to connect up my comp to the ecu and try out a few programs to see what i can get out of it. I will take a picture of the ecu tomorrow if i get time.

I have an Central 20 ECU on mine, well about to, i have tested it, made hudge differance ofer stock, plus 14psi was no problem. My mate had it on his RB25DET powered VL and it made 230rwKws with same mods as mine with sheets to prove it.

I have a few central 20 .roms

Mainly for RB20det. YOu will be running richer past 4000rpm and TP limit is changed to 255 thus getting rid of what people call boost cut.

Also quite often timing is also around 18 deg in most of the high load parts of the map.

Get it checked on a dyno :)

Yeah i ran the car on the dyno and only managed to get 157rwkw and it showed that it runs very rich the second it revs up. The chip inside it looks to not be one of those eproms that you wipe clean with a UV light and re-burn. Any one have any places i can call about getting something done with it. i will post up some pics of the dyno run and the ecu itself.

i am mearly ready off the chart that was provided by the tuner form the car, i know the tuner, and the car had an r34 turbo on an 94 series r33 det motor. The motor was stock, FMIC etc etc, but that's what happended, I am yet to test it on my car, but i will let you know. Just what i know, i know that seams high, but that is what it did. It certainly made a big differance in my car when i had it in there for a test.

after i had my remapped ecu on i borrowed a mates wideband o2 sensor and tested out my afr's. at around 3000rpm it goes up to 12.5 for about 500rpm then drops to 12 till about 5000rpm where it slowly drops down to 11.4 at redline. that was at 11psi as the boost controller was playing up and wouldn't let me go higher. cruise is about 14.5-14.7

when i get a chance i am going to test it at 14psi and see what the afrs are like.

Sounds to me like the dyno or tuner may have been pulling your c0ck :P

Yeah I think something could be wrong with my oxy sensor. Here is my run on the dyno and as you can see the air fuel ratio jumps straight to 10. I am unsure if this is due to the ecu being modified or what.

Any one have any ideas on my crappy dyno run. :)

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
