While on the topic just a quick question because i can't be bothered searching through 100 posts. You can't run an RB20 remapped ECU on an RB25 Series 2 because of the internal ignitor, correct???

Hm... ive never heard of this problem... keen to hear more also.

Pretty much what i remember reading a little while ago is because series 1 has an external ignitor for the coil packs and series 2 doesn't, a remapped RB20 ECU wont run on a series 2 unless you run an external ignitor.

Hmmm i guess i might just do some searching.

Another guy in another thread posted that, r32 ecu was straight plug in.. Only concer is no VCT support..

quote:

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!

Hmmm, the reason i asked about the RB20 ECU on a series II is because one of my mates is a tuner and has a spare RB20 ECU that he could put an RB25 map on and tune it for me. At the moment my car is hitting boost cut/ airflow cut (whatever the hell you want to call it) at 4000rpm on 1 bar of boost on my HKS turbo.

I have 2 options that are possible to do at the moment:

1) Modify a standard actuator to fit the HKS turbo instead of the HKS adjustable actuator and run less boost to avoid the boost cut.

2) Remapped RB20 ECU to get rid of the boost cut and be able to tune it.

Now i know that a full ECU replacement is the best choice, and i will be doing that in the future, just dont have the funds at the moment so im looking at only the 2 above solutions.

So yeah thats my problem at the moment, if i can get the RB20 ECU to run on the series II its going to solve the boost cut problem, because at the moment its giving me the sh*ts.

I didn't know nistune could do the R33 stuff yet.... hmm might have to chat to Matt...

We use daughterboards and real time emulation same as we have on the RB20's for a couple of years now :)

i just heard that they are testing.. it was on their site. They will need someone to test it for them lol

I think if you remove the kick panel and lie it on the floor, it won't be standed anymore.

ROFL....i kill me !!! >_<

:laughing-smiley-014: the lame/funny approach to being a spelling nazi :thumbsup:

if your in sydney, i've heard hills motorsport does remaps for r33 gtst's for $350

These are the simple plug in chip upgrades, and to the best of my knowledge CANNOT be tuned in real time, and also require purchase of a new SINGLE USE CHIP every time you want a new map loaded...

The method we are using is converting the R33 to run a single 27C256 eprom, which can be re-used, as well as tuned in real time with full map tracing etc etc... Hence, the initial $$ are a bit higher, but the end results are WELL worth it.

hehe yea the $$ is scarin me a little.. But i might be a guinee pig and try it out..

so when did you say you are coming to sydney?

Also you got any dyno figures sam? just to see what a similar rb25 with basic mods can acheive..

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
