It's not due out until September or so I thought last time I spoke to Andy.

does anyone have any idea how much the new one will cost, I was hearing word or it almost two years ago from mark at dat who sold me mine

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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
