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. :)

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
