R33 Ecu Upgrade

[Darky82]

Hey found this online so I picked it up.

JDM Nissan Skyline ECR33 RB25DET Serires 2 M/T KS ROM Racing ECU R33

Fits Nissan ECR33 Kouki Serires 2 MT Version

Mapped for Higher REV Limiter, Aftermarket intake filter, Boost Up, Aftermarket Exhaust

USED in very good working condition

Anyone familiar with these.

I found a older post where someone ran a s2 ecu on a s1 with minimal problems.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/411617-r33-series-1-motor-running-a-series-2-power-fc-not-working/

Can anyone re confirm?

I have a low mount mandrel manifold and split dump pipe coming. pod, large front mount, plus free flowing 3"

Will I get much of a gain from this ecu?

It has some specs but in jap.

7500rpm, 0.75 kg/cm2.

Can't post a pick off my iphone.

Can anyone here translate it if I can figure out how to post a pick?

Chances of engine damage from using an ECU tuned for some other setup.....very good.

also going to be using wideband to monitor.

Has to suit my mods better than stock ecu, read the mods it supports.

And what do you do when your wideband says the afrs are no good? Get something tunable.

if u read enough on SAU you will find that these 'chipped' ECU's are dangerous. Yes, they will make your car feel awesome compared to a stock computer.

But the odds of it running safely on your car are very low. Many people have grenaded their motors with these, mostly due to knock as they are an aggressive tune not suited to your car or mods. Much less aussie driving conditions such as heat, fuel RON etc. Also R33's are getting old now so much easier to wreck a motor.

Also, AFR's aren't necessarily the issue. You can have a car running lean that is fine as the timing is adjusted accordingly, or a car that is rich that pings its head off as it has mad timing (often what chipped Japanese ECU's like a 'Mine's' ECU runs like)

Simply put, don't do it.

I actually know 3 people directly that have wrecked their RB25 with these chipped ECU's.

Save up and get a nistune or a power fc etc and get it tuned properly.

Good luck.

I would just hit up Toshi for a r33 ecu that has been socketed with his rom. At least he tunes to Australian fuel and is proven time and time again on dynos

Seconded for Toshi. He's done pretty well on my 33
