I'm thinking of getting an Apexi Neo to improve my aweful fuel economy and due to the fact that its too hard for find a PFC and a reasonable cost. I have heard the Neo does not have a knock sensor like the old SAFCII, but I have noticed in the specs that it has a Karmann sensor readout. Will this display the level of knocking when connected to an RB25DET?

Im pretty sure Karman sensors have nothing to do with Nissan Airflow meter equipped cars. My Old SAFC blue screen has the wire for Karman readings but it doesnt get hooked up.

Please correct me if im wrong.

Cheers

Chris

no it wont, for rb25det u dont use the karman sensor wire. If you where to wire it up to knock to attempt to get a knock read out it wont work. I had the same dilemea when i purchased a neo, best bet is get a safc2 that has knock read out or go all the way and get a aftermaket ecu

Thanks for the feedback. I think I might get an E-Manage Ultimate then. They are not too much more $ and can do a lot more stuff anyway. I would love to go for a full ECU solution but I can't find a PFC anywhere for a good price :laugh:

Yep I saw that, it was for R33 though, I need an R34 one :happy: Think I will just order an E-Manage Ultimate from Nengun and start looking for a good tuner in Perth.

SLIDE is selling link ecus, direct plug ins as i understand. I dont know any thing about them or how they compare but might be worth a look?

Will look into them - thanks. Thing is if I get a complete replacement ECU I still want it to run the car well like the PFC does.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
