Therre was a ca/sr ecu that changed between sequential and batch, but considering the rb20 ecu only has 2 injector drivers it is batch only. No sure about ignition tho.

Pretty sure ignition is because you have 6 ignitors, if it was batch they would save money and use 2 or 3.

Not enough memory I guess the extra timing calculations would require alot more code CPU used has limited outputs

Im actually a programmer and one of my job was writing software for old processors, namely the same cpu used in these early boards. The code for writing to 2 outputs vs 6 and doing sequential vs batch is basically identical, the cpu still runs fast enough to process that many events. I can't see the CPU being the limiting factor, would have been something else but f**ked if I know what.

Funny enough I'm a programmer aswell yeah there wouldn't be a heap of extra code there is a bit of room available then again I've never worked on these chips they are probably faster than I give them credit for

You guys dont have a clue.

You realise in going to the haltech you will be batch firing injectors and coils! The std ECU is fully sequential on both. It will do everything about 100times better than the haltech ever will.

8 injector drivers as standard equipment
There is a reason haltech doesn't support the earlier ECU's anymore is beacuse they are shit.
You dont think it has something to do with the fact that the e6k is near on 10 yrs old now and used old technology, how many companies do you know of that keep producing things for 10yr old hardware when there goal is to always develop newer technology? Edited by W0rp3D

A bunch of programmers here haha.

Not a lot of additional code would be required to implement fully sequential injection/ignition. You basically just need slightly more sophisticated CAS decoder subroutine and cylinder counter and assign calculated outputs to different output ports based on that counter (using it as either input variable or index on inj/ign subroutine call). It's just one more routine and a couple of additional RAM values.

Those old CPU's are not very fast, but fast enough to handle engine management (some of early factory ECU's have hardware cap of 8000 rpm - been tested by Nistune developers, don't remember if RB20 is one of them). The only reason for not using fully sequential management I can think of is CPU may not have enough output ports.

Multiplexing can be a bit tricky in real-time applications like engine management. Requires some cleverly arranged synchronization.

On the other hand, it depends on how exactly CAS/load-calc-output data flow is implemented.

By the way I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that R32 RB26 uses fully sequential management.

Neo motors use 16-bit processor, different family and higher performance. R34's use Mitsubishi 7700 processors, earlier Skyline ECUs use some kind of Motorola 8-bit clone manufactured by JECS, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: I mean I'm agreeing with you :) I'm just explaining why full seq. mode is easier for later ECUs

Yep, much newer processor with more features.

Not necessarily so. The CPU itself may be the same/similar, but its peripheral devices can be very different - it's an ECU architecture thing. E.g. RB26 ECU may incorporate multiplexing/decoding logic you were talking about.

Sure, it is all speculation only. The best way to do it is to open ECU case and take a look what's in there. And assembly code would be handy also.

But I seriously think they are all sequential, otherwise they would use crank sync trigger instead of CAS.

By the way 16-bit processors are seriously faster than 8-bit in this particular case because all AFM values and load calculations use 16-bit arithmetic.

Hey I was wondering what ecu would be better for my setup mods are

Td06h-20g 8cm housing

550 injectors

3 inch exhaust

35 mm turbosmart external wastegate 17 psi

Stainless high mount

32 gtr cooler

I know nistune will be cheaper but lets put price aside on this one

so which one did you go with?

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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
