Had a quick look at the central 20 website link. It looks like they are a fairlady tuning house. The computer is offered for sale separately or with cams, manifolds, mufflers so I guess theres not much chance of finding out what version your is unless you chuck it on a dyno

Esentially it's like a PFC, but you need a new chip to sire a new map everytime, it's a R33 remaped computer with a socket to accept new chips, NOT an R32 computer that is currantly used to run R33 remaps. It's completely different inside to that.

Dr Drift can apparantly now remap these if you like, and the Chips are $5.

I have one on my car and it rocks, produced 217 rwKw at 15psi with stock turbo. I also have SAFC II form previous setup, but the fuel maps were preatty close to what i needed anyhow so the SAFC is just as an extra readout.

well it is, it has the same board with a different chip. It is still much chepper to get a central 20 ecu and new chips, get the hardware form nippan and do it that way.

WHAT i was really trying to say, is that is a compleatly different ecu from the current Dr Drfit R32/33 remap ecus.

anyway, that's all.

it may phyiscally look similar but that's about it. i mean, it's the same basic platform. without an emulator you cannot tune it in real time for starters. saying. "it's essentially a PFC" is complete rubbish though. It's far more accurate to say it's a standard ecu with a removeable chip... which it is. you could also say I guess that a power FC is based on factory type computers but there are many, many differences.

Beer baron, should i leave the central 20 + emanage or go stock ecu + emanage?

well it wont really make much difference now. may as well just stick with the C20 and emanage. but if say you found someone willing to trade you a stock ecu, and a $100 for your central 20 then go for it.

my point is the only thing that makes a central 20 ecu a central 20 ecu is the tuning done on it's chip. once you take that out and get a new tune it's just as stock ecu with a chip written by <insert tuners name>.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
