I seem to remember somewhere way back I read (perhaps in the G35 manual) that if the ecu doesn't get the brake signal for a while it goes into throttle limp, not sure but keep it in mind if you do attempt it.

Mmmm..... Boobies!!!

My car pulled 5 more psi(so 15psi)by the time in hit 3,000rpm on stall..... Got there a lot quicker too on stall!

Launches hard!

Well done guys.

If you want to try it, its pin 55 on the ecu. Its a pink wire with a blue line.(around the middle of the plug.) Just make sure you tape up both snipped ends well. :thumbsup:

(Dont hold me responsible if you damage anything please.) lol.

Wouldn't dream of it ! I've already lost my ECU harness virginity. No big deal now :P.

I was going to run mine via a switch so I could break the connection or return it to normal at any time. Going to label it "Off" and "Fun" lol.

That way if there is any issue with the ECU getting suspicious after a while (hey, I just don't brake, OK) it is easy to fix. Throttle limp sucks :yucky: .

so use the emanage relay outputs to disconnect the brake line signal till around 50km/h

The good ideas have been coming thick & fast the last few days. Loving it :thumbsup:

OK, so some ideas are better than others, but you catch my drift, LOL

Aaron, to clarify a little on what the Impul ECU is allowing.

First, set the Informeter to recognise 100% throttle is 4.12V

Now, When I do a launch from a standing start I get around 45% throttle till about 10kph and then I get 100% throttle.

On a stall launch, I get around 45% throttle. (But this was not done properly as too much traffic around).

But I love :wub: this solution... looking for wire cutters on the weekend.

First Andy, try this out.

With your foot off the brake for a few seconds, try and launch. Does the throttle go straight to 100%? If it doesn't, unplug the throttle body for a few seconds and try it again. Mine definitely goes full throttle from a standing start without the wiring mod.

Then snip snip. :thumbsup:

I've been seeing some references to this figure lately and 2 questions come to mind.

1) I must pull out the manual & find out how to change this setting, and

2) why 4.12V?

By my actual voltage measurements on the throttle body & driving around, each 1V equaled 20% opening as displayed on the informeter. That makes sense if its default is 5V equals 100%.

If you are saying that the throttle does actually open completely, and this happens at a lower value than 5V (totally believable), then where did this magic 4.12V come from?

BTW, the max voltage I read was 4.04V so it's not too different anyway.

Even if it is 86% it wont make any difference to the power output, we have a massive throttle anyway. It may be done on purpose to swirl the air in the plenum.

Remember that the minimum voltage wont be 0v either. It is just the range of resistance the TPS gives.

Yep, from memory the minimum was about 0.6V at (cold) idle & maybe 0.56V when warm. I think you're right - guess it doesn't really matter if not physically opened 100% if the engine can breath all it needs. However, it would be interesting to see, via a camera, how the theory stacks up to reality.

If you could find a nice clear piece of 3 inch pipe to clamp to the throttle, you may be able to see it. The throttle opens to 100% in neutral and park, also without the wiring mod. (that was the other path I was going to work down if the snip didn't fix it.)

Are you going to be right to twist the wires together if it goes into limp mode tomorrow Craig? Or just restart the car I guess. Let us know how it goes mate.

no limp mode yet!....what am I the f#$king test mule?

Yup. :P

Don't worry Aaron, I have faith in my dodgy mods. lol.

oh trust me, if anything was to go wrong, knowing this Stagea, it would've slapped you in the face just as you are about to cut it.

Just frustrating it was that simple. lol

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
