im thinking of getting a 420c with my k rudd money.... anyone else?

I am looking into getting that same version for my 34 GTT have you got yours already and if so what do you think of it?

Also is anyone else running one of these new units on there skyline and what do you think of it?

dragging up a oldish thread...

next to no one is running the new system (E1280S) besides a few test cars down south as its only just been officially released onto the market.... price wired in is something between 2 and 3 grand...

Shit i heard around $1600 from some forum, i think boostcruising.

I'm waiting on its release and testing till i put it on my motor. Just think no point in running a big motor with 1000cc inj with e85 on a batch fire system. Plus i hope it has features like water pump and fan control and hopefully boost and the like. I just want one thing to run the whole car!! If not might go to ViPec or haltech.

I can't believe all the guys using old ones were sitting with their eyes shut and their hands over their eyes shouting that batch fire injection and wasted spark ignition is acceptable from a $1500 ecu in this day and age, and with no temp compensation as andriano pointed out you are risking massive changes in acutal AFR as air density changes so much with temp changes. in this day an age why you would use an ecu with only 4 ign and inj drivers on a six cylinder car is beyond me. there are plenty of good choices for fair money that can PROPERLY run a 6 cylinder engine without having to resort to batch fire and wasted spark. like trent says that pretty much limits their use as a decent entry level ecu for 4 cylinder cars only.

their new model if it has at least 6 drivers for inj and ign will be more useful but at $3,000 it has some pretty stiff competition....

yeah the new one does Beer-man,

the very things you mentioned is why I didnt get one, considering that e85 is around the corner, I didnt want to atempt to run 1200+ cc injectors in batch fire mode

Richard - You will recognise this username from GTIROZ... :P

E1280S can run 12 ignition outputs and 12 injectors or so (would have to confirm both figures) hence the 12 part of the model.... According to one of my best mates who is the NQ adaptronic installer/tuner/reseller it can be completely customized to the point, yuo can write a macro system for it that say at 49ºC it wont let the car reach 5000rpm but at 50ºc it can to go to limiter etc....

This is all being reproduced by me but thats how it was explained to me by Jason.

Oh and this time instead of hte shitty connectors it has a moulded plug (much like a factory unit).

they are branding it as a "Supercomputer" since it can have functions written into it!

The entry level ecu from them has fan control, boost control.... i know this as i have actually had to use the software interface to set a fair bit of that!

oh and it actually has different modes of firing its just relative to which one goes to each motor for them...

that price might have been unit alone..... the price i said was wired in and everything done and dusted :P

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
