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

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
