Yep, did it for mine. Had it reprogrammed with a S2 Stagea image to eliminate the traction control in my R34.

Hanaldo we shud have just swapped ecus man, I dont know why I have the stagea ecu in my 34, and yes traction control doesnt work of course.. Sometimes i feel like my car is as slow as a stagea boat haha..

If you have a Stagea ECU in your R34, then even if the fuel and ignition maps are the same, the car will drive differently. The Stagea ECU is probably from an auto, and from my experience, that wasn't as good as a manual image.

It doesn't drive any different. At least not in my case, I don't know if there is a difference between an R34 ECU reprogrammed to use the Stagea image and a Stagea ECU. But I took mine out, posted it off to Matt at NIStune, then 4 days later I plugged it back in and drove it again. Absolutely no difference in the way it drove, except I noticed the misfire at ~5000rpm cause by the ECU pulling timing/fuel had gone. It was otherwise exactly the same.

It's a null point now, I'm not using it anymore. Turns out... You didn't want to use my ECU. Fkn thing.

Hey Hanaldo, you ended up going with the threaded Haltech IAT sensor for your Link G4 yes? How did it go with the tuning?

I might get one aswell and get rid of my Bosch open element sensor, I can't see an easy way to plumb it into the intake :/

Yeh man, I got one of the ones that David sells. I'll have to let you know how it goes with tuning, my tuner is still working on it. Apparently the cold start tables take quite a bit of time to set up. I spoke to him on Friday though and he hasn't mentioned any problems, so should be all good. Expecting to have it back Tuesday/Wednesday arvo, so I'll let you know then :thumbsup:

You probably just didn't notice. Fuel economy was different, roll on throttle was less urgent, and the throttle close overrun ignition timing advance curves are different between auto and manuals and it makes the car lunge forward as you roll down through ~1500rpm in gear, throttle closed. Works well for autos, bloody awful when it happens in a manual. Even when I changed every single setting accessible to be the same as a manual ECU, it still wasn't quite right.

Stagea auto and manual maps are the same, unless the ECU is doing something in the background that Nistune can't access, only thing i can think of the the auto's gear shift map, which looks to either retard timing heavily or cut it completely during shift. don't think this would have any effect on an ecu without the shift logic board though.

looking at them a manual Stagea map is the almost the same as a R34 map, only differences i can see being rev limits, and minor difference in the cranking tables and VE table. Decel/run-down, pre/post enrich tables are all the same. there is however a major difference between the stagea/R34 maps and the R34 AA560 ecu, maybe a late model R34 with better mapping?

This is a fact. My nistune was supplied with an auto image. Throttle recovery at 1800rpm shits me to tears and no way to fix it until I get the board is re-imaged with the manual base. Minor things like error codes for the lack of autobox etc obviously are always there.

Mine had to have been reprogrammed with a manual image then, I wasn't getting any error codes. I wasn't aware that the 25Neo Stags came in manual, I thought they were all auto.

I remember when Toshi took out my stagea ecu to Nistune it, he supplied me a manual R34 ecu to use for a week till I get my original one back. I couldnt notice any difference in idling, accel, decel, power or anything, felt more or less the same, are the differences that noticeable?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
