The Remapped RB25 ECU is the newest additon to the family... I have two projects nearly completed which will both have remapped ECU's... The end result is that it can be tuned exactly like I have been doing the RB20 ECUs for 6 years now. I did do a few of the RB25 ECUs a few years ago, but never knew where/how to the ECU done... till now!

I'll post details up as soon as they happen :(

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing some results.

Jeff from The Speed lab did my rb25 with R32 ecu (the easier and cheaper way then rechipping a 33 ecu) and i believe jeff said sam also does them.

Couldnt be happer with the result... my 33 ecu is now used as a paperweight

Dr-Drift looking forward for those details..

Simon-R32- Did you have any problems with the r32 ecu running on an rb25? Also what needed it to changed/hacked/re-wired etc to make it work for an r25 engine?

no probs what so ever, plugs straight in, however the 20 ecu cannot run the VCT, was no real issue for me as with the remap done, timing changed, boost raised it still has bucket loads of torque down low anyway!

Getting full boost at 2500 rpm, makes 215 rwkw on 0.9 bar with stock turbo. Drives like a dream, smooth clean power with awesome responce!

We've also done quite a few R32 ecus in R33s... we found the only wiring to be changed for street applications was when running an RB25 loom the idle switch needed to be wired in, only improved. We've also has some good success using the buddy club VTEC controller as a cheap VCT rpm output..

IMHO - Remap the R33 ECU is the best way to go...

we've talked a little in emails DrDrift - but one lingering "concern"

for those on a budget (ie, me) how much roughly for a remap to Stagea automatic ecu?

FYI; pinout on ecu is the same as for an R34GTT, although my 1997 engine is definately a non-Neo........

this is something I'd look at in 12months time or so

the 32 ecu WILL work on series 2.

Mine is a S1

Sam: have you got more info about the idle switch wiring? i havent done this and mine doesnt idle as it should some times

So it definetely works on the series II?? No problem with the different ignitor between series I and series II??

R33 ones are nailed! We are using the same boards as used to be in ash's R31 RB25 which was fully programable 5 years ago! We've only just been able to source the boards in the last few months...

Non-Neo Stagea is same price as R33, and AT is no problems, e-mail for quotes please.

Simon - Check the pinouts from R32 to R33 you will see the differences there.... I think PaulR33 has it on his page somewhere???

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
