does anyone know if there are any fuel/ignition differences between the r32, r33 and r34 ecu's for the rb25de since the rb25de came in all 3 series of skylines?

and thus any performance increases to be had by using a different ecu to control the fuel and ignition?

Cheers

all the variants of the rb25de in the R32, R33 and R34 are physically different so i would assume that there would be differences in their maps. swapping ecu's will not work

r32 ecu and loom is running my r34 engine.

so the pin outs for the r32, r33 and r34 ecu's are different?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldnt an R34 RB25DE be the NEO model?

From what I understand this incorporates a different head design, and infinitely variable cam timing - an R32 ECU would have no idea how to deal with that, so you'd ultimately end up with a loss of power from at least the lack of VCT?

To that end, I imagine you'd really need an R34 ECU to get the best benefit from this engine, as I imagine they'd have changed the fuel/ign maps for the different head design, and to make use of the VCT.

No idea how accurate any of that is, but it's based off what I've read and wikipedia seems to confirm some of it.

ok let me rephrase that, the swap in ecu's will not work effectively. that's not to say that they won't work.

jrm is correct, the different head design, VCT, twin feed intake on the NEO, etc. must have some sort of effect. to put it simply the software will not match the hardware - and although it may work, it might not be working efficiently or have some detrimental effect.

however that said, i've never tried it so there may be positive gains to be had. i would say that it'd be much cheaper to re-chip with dr. drift or the likes.

ECU plugs/pins are way different from R32/33 to R34 I can imagine that the maps they contain would allow them all to run, to what degree of efficiency is another story. Basically stick with the right ECU for the right engine, much better than messing around with it all.

Thanks for your reply guys, i really appreciate all the help. NZ skylines forum has pretty much died last time i checked...

the engine swap was done by previous owner, they kept the r32 ecu and loom because it was easier.

could a r32 rb20de remapped ecu control the vct?

the vct is not engaged at the moment because i have no idea what voltage it runs at and what rpm it switches on and off and if the voltage varies etc?

is there any ecu which will plug in which has vct as well? (i can run the relevant pinout to the vct control using a separate wire from the ecu to the engine bay vct control).

the prev owner gave me a laurel ecu or something and said that the ecu would plug in and i could run a wire to the vct line. i dont know how accurate this is though so wanted to check.

failing that a rpm switch and a remap for the r32 rb25de ecu looks like the way to go... a tune at the same time would probably be best too!!

hoping that the r32 ecu will be running the r34 engine safely atleast if not most efficiently.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
