M35 Ecu Remap

Ok doods, the spare ECU has been tested and appears to operate to requirement, I wanted to ensure this was the case prior to dropping everything off to SAS and finding out the spare was dodgy or damaged in some way.

Another thanks to Ken at Prestige Motorsport, what a legend :)

I took some photo's of the equipment behind the glovebox and kick panel for those who havn't had a look yet, note however that when you remove the glovebox don't forget the screw on the bottom left hand side. You need to remove the left kick panel, just insert a screwdriver and lever it off, it's got two clips that lock in and just a plastic nut holding the back end on. I'm not sure if I did it or if it had been done previously but the bottom left hand corner of my glovebox is now cracked, will have to fix it with some glue when the glovebox comes out next for it's trip to SAS. I kind of didn't find the concealed left hand bottom corner screw until I had done all the other one's and had begun gently trying to lever the glovebox out. Thought I would warn other's incase they can save this damage to the glovebox.

Anyway, I'll chuck the pictures up for anyone who is interested. I also emailed SAS yesterday and have brought up the topic of the possibility of a switchable dual mapping, this probably can't be explored until the car goes in but I will be sure to pursue the matter.

Thanks to Iain for his phone support in getting the glovebox out and the ecu unplugged etc. I owe you another double shot macchiato.

:thumbsup:

I suspect you can only have one or the other

I have emailed Tom at SAS, I havn't heard anything back yet.

They do dual map other vehicles so it will be something worth investigating when they test & develop.

I rang SAS today to get an update - they had my car there for a week doing development work almost a year ago, but held off pending availability of the replacement ECU.

Latest advice is they are waiting for us. - apparently there is a good number of M35s waiting to be tuned once the process is proven.

Is there anything I can do to progress this exercise.

OK guys, huge apologies.. all i can say is:

working = not enough spare time!

+

p platers in commodore's who can't drive and crash into other cars then refuse to pull over and exchange details suck! (don't worry, the licence plate is burnt into my memory!)

Tax cheque has arrived and I have been in touch with SAS, the car is going in with the spare ECU for a week hopefully at the end of November.

I'm opting for the dual map option but until they do the testing and development they are not sure this is a possibility, will update on this one.

I have one small concern with my nismo muffler that I'm hoping SAS can work with, I think it's locked in Silent mode and not sports :happy: When I flick the switch in the cabin and sound is no different, runs fairly quiet most of the time (i believe Goldzilla said it sounded like a vaccum cleaner lol). I'm guessing when the car was complied they just set the switch to silent and then disconnected/severed the cable or something. I think it may be restricting flow of the exhaust but my first tune will mainly be about fuel efficiency anyway, I'll worry about performance once the GCG highflow/intercooler and new turbo back exhaust is completed.

Once again sorry for my silence, I've been popping in now and again as I like to watch :)

Chow dudes

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
