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. :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
