R34 Aftermarket Computer/pfc/heltec/motec/ems

[SMOKE'M]

hay every one,

2 quick quistion is it true if you get a aftermarket computer,pfc/heltec/motec/ems/ect,ect,ectin the r34

do you loose the function with the :Traction Control

I ask cos i got a new ecu put in,then he told that i will loose this function

an also the engin light,the tcs,an the slip lights in the dash permanently stays on

is this right or have i been screwed an he has'nt done it right

also now it takes about 4-7 sec to even start,

were as before it turnd over straight away.an when it does start the frist three sec it sound like its going to stall

after that it goes to 1500 revs until it warms up then drops to 900 revs

does it sound like he has'nt tuned if properly

thanks

did you get a new ecu or just a chip? I got a chip & tune done in my R34, and NOT a problem in the world with TCS or start up. take it to get looked at by a new workshop and a new tune. may make ur car run better & they may find the reason why ur TCS isen't working. and the slip light woulod be shitting me off if it stayed on.

"IF" the ecu has stuffed with the TCS and wont work again, get some wire snips and cut the wire to the Slip light asap. haha

It sounds like there are problems to me... I know of no issues with my TCS etc and have a PFC installed in one of my 34's

NO I GOT A NEW ECU EMS STINGER

Where'd you get yours chipped if I may ask?

[SMOKE'M]

dont really want to say there name as yet,dont want to rubbish them just incase im wrong

maybe some thing else has happened to cause this

after that it goes to 15000 revs until it warms up then drops to 9000 revs

my goodness, you have a F1 engine in your car!!

wish mine revved to 15,000...

my r34 gtt has a pfc in it. and i have no probs. all warning lights work correctly. tcs works fine and its fine starting. sound like theres a problem to me.

[GorGasm]

Sounds like a few minor issues. I doubt TCS will work as the stinger doesnt appear to support it. You may have idle issues.

Why dont you ask the shop why it doesnt start up as fast as before and why the lights are always on? If you did then what did they say?

[SKY 34]

you have to check if the ECU has Plug N play base map on it. If you use chip in your stock ECU or aftermarket with plug N play such as PFC, then the should work fine...

My guess is your car is tuned with ECU which does not have a base map, the ignition delay is caused by poor cold start tune. It is easier to tune while engine is hot and running however cold start is tricky, as by the time the tuner got the approximately right tuning, the engine would have been warm. Then to wait for the car to cool down again takes 2-3 hours, which I highly doupt the tuner will put the car back on the dyno.

This is also consistent with your idling problem, sometimes if the tune is not done properly the car will actually stalls on its own, you got to give it a bit of fuel... you won't have this problem once engine is warm no?

Hmmmmmm, sounds just like the problem I had when I had a Microtech installed. No AFM causes heaps of things to not function as they should. Changed to a PFC with a Z32 AFM and bingo all is good again. Does yours still have the AFM?

TCS/ABS runs off a seperate computer in the rear, so should still work (provided your ABS does)

Get a remap of the ECU to play it safe, it's fairly cheap to do now

[32vspecII]

it may be that the TCS/ABS computer required signals from the ECU , such as TPS . This is similar to how the auto works .

This means those signals must be replicated by the ecu (which the r34 pfc would do) or you may be able to bridge the sensor outputs required for TCS . this is often how other ecus such as motecs and autronics are installed to work with tricky features like traction control , automatic gearboxes , stability control etc
