Spends alot of money on boost controller. Spend $0 on engine management. You may need to rethink priorities. Anything above 10psi the stock ECU will just go into R&R "Rich and Retard"

Doesn't matter when boost is OVER 9000

On the topic(ish)

Anyone know how to change the display from kPa to kg/cm2?

none of the online manuals show how to do it

im still trying to find the box for mine and check the japanese on the back. im 99% mine is stuck on kg/cm2 but xspeed set it up for me and the car is stripped so i cant test...going for another look now.

but either way it def didnt read kPa. was either Bar or kg/cm2 as when i had it at 16psi it read about 1.10

just found box and realised it was hkpa, therefore 1.10 was spot on. nothing on the back in japanese mentions changing units

So it was the alarm/immobiliser causing the issue.

The wire that id spliced into to power the EBC was the 'ON' wire from the ignition. Unknown to me (as ive recently purchased the car) the alarm/immobiliser was also spliced into that line. So it seems that when the controller was active (higher boost selected rather then bypassed, ie: OFF) the alarm/immobiliser cracked it and turned off the car.

I've found another power source and can happily run 12 psi without a problem.

Thanks to those that offered help and advice.

bit of a revival. but do you need to have the boost line hooked upto the unit ?? or does it work normally without it ?? obviously it wont show the boost pressure. or does it need to see pressure to tell the solenoid what to do ??

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
