Hello all,

Im aware of the obvious differences between the two versions of ecu's however im not quite sure which setup will be best for me, car is a daily driver pretty much.

car is a 33 gtr and has -7 turbos, stock afms and stock airbox, stock injectors, tomei dumps and full exhaust

pros for d-j i can think of atm are:

-same price as l-jetro off a friend

-can upgrade to topmount setup without worrying about twin air flow meter setups

cons

-i need to remove the afms and put straight thru pipes to the airbox? or can i just leave them there?

-take off the intake plenum drill and tap for map sensor feeds (not sure on where exactly is the best location, any suggestions?

-doesnt like small changes in hardware/environment and may affect performance in a bad way? will need to be tuned more often?

pros for l-jetro

-plug and play, no need to touch anything in the engine bay

cons

-will need to spend money on z32s

-if upgrading to topmount will also need special piping to split the intake into 2 smaller pipes to suit the z32s

I can buy both ecus for roughly the same price, the d-jetro with all sensors etc off a friend, or the l-jetro off a dealer brand new for roughly the same price.

Basically i want to know the difference in driveability between the two ecus if tuned correctly by the same tuner and also if i would get the same max power and same response.

Ive herd some people complaining about bogging down in low rpm / not so great response but good when on boost with a d-j?

Im inclined to think the d-jetro is better but i want to know what the experts, that have experience regarding tuning 26's, have to say

Cheers.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
