What benifit does this have over the standard ECU??

- Removes speed limiter

- Increased revs limiter

- Run more BOOST (my car was running 14 psi on a standard engine)

- Increases performance dramatically over standard ecu

- Improves fuel economy

- save on hasles using aftermarket ecu's just plug in and go

- Genuine MINES aproved and stamped (as pictured)

You MAY need a tune to run it, I couldnt tell you as I havent yet tried it as my car is in pieces. The ecu plugs straight into the standard plug

if you can confirm this will work on an auto i'll probably take it

Does this actually allow you to run more boost? Do you actually know what its tuned for at all or just guessing? Does it actually increase rpm limit etc if you haven't tried it how would you know? Its just that you state one minute your car was running 14psi on a standard motor but at the end of the same post you state you haven't yet tried it as your car is in pieces and in the subsequent post 'Cant confirm anything, only because I havent had it running in my car man' ?????

You also put you may need a tune to run it but is it actually retunable? Just incase you didn't know the R33 stores its maps on the actual main CPU which requires complete replacement to change fuel maps so unless this ECU has something trick it wouldn't be retunable.....

Ok my mistake I copy and pasted that off the information I was sent on ebay apon purchase. So to clear things up. This guy had it running on his car, on 14psi with front mount and full exhaust made 210kw at the wheels. Now, everything else Ive said makes sense. I havent tried it on my car as the head is off. It is a genuine mines ecu, Stamped/plated , still sealed has not been taken apart and tampereed with so other than what Ive provided I cant tell you much else about it. Has new air/fuel maps etc. Im sure someone must know a bit more about them than I do, Im just getting rid of it to help me get my car back running. Hope it helps. Sorry for the confusion

to clear things up, i'll lend a hand

i am CURRENTLY USING a Mines ecu.

NO they are not remappable coz they are factory locked. so for those of you looking to use then remap, no good.

it removes boost cut, rev limit (yes i have driven into redline before), speed cut.

you are right in stating it is a good increase in power and torque but the fuel economy is no better than standard, in many cases worse! you might also want to stating whether for series one or two cos they might be different.

cheers

i dont see why you would want to remove your rev limiter or make it higher with stock engine:S

stoopid i think...

and how would it be saving you fuel in this case??????

no it doesnt help on the fuel side. think of it as a remap but more aggressive. it will be a plug in replacement with the standard computer with the simple case of pull out the old one and plug in the new. does NOT require to be retuned, or rather should i say it CANNOT be retuned/mapped unless you ship your car back to the Mines factory as it is done to your vehicle specs.

over-revving is not recommended coz it pushes the engine beyond its intended measures, but to see what it can do i did it anyways hahaha

in regards to the speed limiter, i havent been able to go beyond 260 yet (my radiator blew) so cant see any limit placed on it.

either way it is more than likely tuned to an exhaust and pod filter at least, with some chance of it been mapped to fmic and other minor mods.

NOTE...it WILL be running rich...VERY rich lol expect to change plugs more often with smokey exhausts and big flames :blink: hahaha

Thanks for your help and input man, I havent had a lot to do with ecu's. The guy that sold me it had it in a series one r33 manual transmission

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
