Hey guys,

It will be a little while off before I get a turbo bolted on...however, I am looking for the right ecu to tune my car. Excuse my ignorance but is it possible to get an ecu that can be used for a car without a turbo and one with a turbo?

Also, I am quite keen to tune my car since I have put the extractors in to make the most of them. Can I retune it, such as advancing the timing, with my stock ecu? Can I do things like increase fuel through the injectors with the stock ecu?

NE info on the ecu would be useful.

Cheers guys.

I was looking up Nistune... I don't know much about it but it sounds like a program you can use yourself. Cool fun!

Do you guys use it?

cheers.

Can you tune the stock ecu without having to get a piggy back?

as above Iv also done the full exhaust plus custom stainless steel intake piping, the car doesn't feel like its running like it should be anymore and just want to get some extra hp and increase response until i can afford to buy a GTT.

Nistune doesnt work with a stock NON TURBO ECU.. on the r34's as ive been trying to get one for a while now on my R34... u need to get the GTT re-flash it then load nistune board then re-flash it and start again - alot of time on dyno + money -

Apexi PowerFC, HKS FCON, Haltech just as some examples are good Standalone systems you could get... if ur going to set up for a big turbo setup then dont go cheap on older ECU's as it wil just have to be more money spent after turbo'ing the car..

I myself am looking for a GTT ecu to do Nistune on mine....

i think you still have issues with putting a nistune on a NA r34 because you can't get the stock tune off the r34 ecu, so it requires a full start from scratch tune rather than just tweaking the stock settings a bit. there was a discussion about this a while back and tuners were having all sort of issues getting it to work. don't know if any of them got it sorted

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
