Advanced Engine Management (Wolf) have a "black box" solution for this problem. Maybe Microtech have one too.

I'll try and remember to check mine out tonight and let you know how the Wolf box works.

well after plugging in a manual RB20DET ECU into the original loom last weekend, the car spluttered and died, seemed to be the fact that its still all fully wired up, I am considering cutting all of the wires apart from the TPS and power wires, though I'd really like to not have to do that, so has anyone else found an alternative yet?

ok well after Googling this problem, and coming back to a similar archived thread on here, I decided to link the throttle opening output and throttle sensor output signals together to try and get the TPS voltage to the ATTESA computer - when turned on, the light went out for one second and came back on.

Do I still need this buffer circuit as well, or should I try a diagnosis on the entire system in case there's something else wrong?

well after several hours of digging around in the archives, I found this quote from TO4GTR in another ATTESSA thread regarding a Microtech.

"yes after many headsrcatching sessions.

hears what it was all about.

tps adjustment to get .4volts

hooking up the attessa throttle wire to the microtech throttle signal.

unplugging the f**king air bleed conector"

the TPS wires mentioned in the Microtech manual are grey and brown, and on the wiring diagram, it has TPS 5v and TPS Sig pinouts, though I'm not 100% on which to use, im guessing TPS Signal to TPS output on the original loom.

Just attempted connecting TPS output from original loom to Microtech TPS Signal wires, STILL no luck!

can anyone PLEASE help me on this one - there must be at least one GT-R out there with both a working Microtech and ATTESSA system!

Hello I am researching the same issue for an ECU install.

So Far I have;

The ATTESA requires 0.4V to 3.5V TPS signal

The factory ECU has an inbuilt amplifier that generates the required signal.

When using an aftermarket ECU, that does not offer TPS out, the RB26 wiring loom requires modification to the wire connected to pin 56 TPS output signal. The wire at pin 56 needs to be cut off and T connected to pin 38 TPS input signal.

The TPS sensor needs to be manually adjusted to provide 0.4V when idling with the throttle closed.

Your Microtech should have three wires connected to the TPS

Ground

5V power

TPS Signal (connect to Microtech and ATTESA)

I have not tested this option, but provided my research is correct, you need to connect the wire that was originally connected to pin 56 to the TPS Signal wire on the Microtech and adjust the tps until it reads 0.4V at idle with the throttle closed. I beleive the ATTESA also requires an RPM signal which is generated by the factory ECU at pin7.

I intend to build a simulation amplifier and will post the design once complete

Yeah I've already adjusted TPS at idle to exactly 0.4v with a multimeter, and then tried alternately connecting wires 56 and 38, then connecting wire 56 to the grey TPS signal wire on the Microtech - the other thing I should have done was pulled out my subs and amp and checked the error codes being thrown up by the ATTESSA computer to see if there was something else wrong with the system. The part I'm still unsure about is whether it definitely needs some sort of extra circuitry or whether joining the wires is enough.

(when I bought this car I was told that the standard computer need only be piggybacked onto the Microtech, stupid me for not getting the previous owner to test this out)

From what I have read, once the idle voltage is adjusted to 0.4v the Attesa will function, but becuase the ramp rate is not exactly as expected the system will apply more front bias at a lower throttle opening. An additional circuit should not be required, but it would make the system function exactly as intended.

Perhaps your issue is related to the tacho signal.

Some of the post I have read indicate that the ATTESA and ABS also use a tacho signal, the factory ECU outputs a tacho signal from pin7. I assume you will need to connect the Microtech tacho out to this same wire.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
