I just bought a cable from plmsdevelopments, you can't use it to adjust anything that I know of. At the moment I'm using the free ECUTalk software but I'm going to buy the software that plmsdevelopments made. I bought it mainly for checking error codes easily, monitoring and logging. The software from plmsdevelopments has full replay of logs that you can fast forward through, graphing etc, as opposed to text file I have to sift through :D

They also say that if you can find some key information about your ecu (addresses of certain files or something, I'm pretty sure I've seen lists of this stuff on SAU somewhere) that it will do maptracing.

I plan on getting my RB20 ecu remapped so the cable/software will come in handy then too :P

Edit: hmm maybe DataScan can adjust certain things but it would only be for that session. Oh and ROFL at that eBay store.. US and Canada only.. get it from Aus dude, cheaper and easier :no:

single most useful thing i have for my car.

if you use nissan datascan you can do map tracing. download your fuel and ignition maps.

log data, errot test.

101 useful things.

the software that laptop comes with is datascan

datascan rocks. Love shutting down cylinders for shits and giggles.

mmmmmm that makes me think....if I'm cruising on the highway and shut down cylinders 5 and 6 will this give me charade style fuel economy???

I'd think it could lead to you putting your timing out etc seeing as the engine's not designed to run with only the front 2/3's of the pistons firing.

i got mione through caz @ cazracing:

she is in WA.. so you can buy locally!

and you can download free software for it through ecutalk:

you're welcome :O

cheers,

As for the timing.. one of the software packages I use has some diagnostic tests.

Shutting down cylinders is one of them... you can also raise (not literally, but to the ECU) the engine temp (to see if your thermo fan turns on, for example... and see how much the ignition retards)

And then there is a base idle adjustment.

I think, from memory, that you have to unplug the TPS or something when adjusting the base idle? When you hit this in the software, the idle goes up just over 1000rpm. I'm assuming it's blocking whatever signal you need (TPS?) to adjust the idle.

Timing... I think you can? Can't remember, but it's only while your PC is on and running the software, nothing is permanent. Yes.. pretty sure you can actually. Risky business, but you could play with it.

but I'm going to buy the software that plmsdevelopments made. The software from plmsdevelopments has full replay of logs that you can fast forward through, graphing etc, as opposed to text file I have to sift through :(

plms didnt make the datascan software, TomR33 on these forums did - they distribute it.

that ebay item was a ripoff - theyre selling it for almost double how much it cost them from blazt.biz (its around $110AU delivered for serial)

if u buy datascan off anyone, make sure they have sent an email to [email protected] swapping over the registered user to you, otherwise you wont be able to use the most recent copies of the software or get any updates.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
