Morning Mangs,

TFIF. Wonder if I can get away with an 8 hour day today?

For Scott: Z32_ECU_Modifications_Direct_R33_Plugin V6.pdf. Booyah, V6. Please don't use the V3 one to do mine :P.

just keep a pair of baby socks in the car, fits perfectly over the gear knob and either stops it from getting hot in first place if you remember to put it on when parking, or protects your hand after the fact if you forget.

Hmmm i wonder what people would think if they walked past my car and saw my knob covered by a baby sock lol.

Very good idea but i think changing knob would be better as i never did like the one i got.

So I unhooked my wastegate actuator hose before work, went for a drive around to warm up (then a bit longer lol)

Anyway, hit around 10-12psi a few times (before backing off), but laggy, and can still hear a balloon squeak type noise.

Dump pipe on incorrectly?

Stock manifold (untouched when I replaced the turbo)

It's a split dump/front pipe, but not one of the shitty JJR ones, it's got a huge long split for the wastegate gasses. I also checked when I had it disconnected that the wastegate flapper doesn't catch on the interior of the dump (like on the JJR ones)... but that may have changed when I put it all back together..... I'm thinking maybe the gasket could be sitting shitty or something?

The wastegate is completely shut at idle.

so refresh my memory

you are getting no boost when everything is hooked up, but when you unhook the feed to the actuator you can get boost?

Probably a dumb dumb question but one I've never known the answer to

Does the diameter or length of vacuum hose make a difference? Specifically in this case intercooler piping nipple -> actuator?

Edited by mosquitocoils

Yeah I try and keep them as short as needed so that's good.... how about thicker/thinner? Any advantage?

Success

Morn.

Stuck on a train. Plus side it's fark yeah Friday.

I'm on a trian, I'm on a muthaflipping train....

Too many knobs in that. Not my idea of a fun night out.

What turob is it? didn't you buy a highflow? It may have a balance issue....

Damnit, Nistune only posted this morning, won't get it till Monday now :(.

Still get to play with the software

Correct... Although I can still hear a squealing leak under boost

gasket or turbo is my guess.

sadface :(

This is for you.

oh and scarface.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
