I was wondering if anyone has used a stock Series 2 ecu in a series 1 R34GTT.

I have a series 1 R34GTT manual and want to install a series 2 ECU.

I know there was a torque increase in Series 2's and a few other changes, so I am wondering if the ECU was different as a result.

Thanks

I have a Nistuned GTT ecu that's already been tuned for Air filter/interfcooler/exhaust and 12psi for sale for $400

For example you're better off buying something like that and then getting your afr checked on a dyno or even a touch up tune.

I really can't see any benefit in trying to chase a particular series ecu for little to no gains when you can have the car setup perfectly for its current time real world condition.

Reason i ask is because i currently have an impul ecu which is tuned for jap fuel i think. I bought a series 2 ecu to put in my car to avoid any issues driving using 98ron. I have however bought a series 2 ecu and wanted to check that it will work ok in a series 1 before i install it. Definitely didnt get it for the power increase in series 2. Just wanted to make sure it was compatible. Fron what i read the extra power in series 2 comes from revised cam shafts, and wanted to see if the ecu was revised to accomodate the cams. Cheers

Just letting you know from what I've found the s2 manual models have a different exhaust cam, compressor wheel and compressor housing compered to the auto s2 and all s1 models.

Would the different exhaust cam mean a different map in the ECU? Would this ECU still be ok for a Series 1, or is the tune very different?

Most likely. Not sure if it will be ok for a series 1 and I don't know how different the tune is.

I recommend you get a tuneable ECU and tune it or pick the ECU that your engine came with from the factory if the car is stockish just for peace of mind.

ok, so i looked at My copy of nistune in relation to r34 ecu's as I was curious.

There are approx 6 different image files, and this is the biggst difference i could find quickly comparing them. Alot were identical.

The timing maps had a copule of spots with 1 or 2 degrees different, wouldnt matter at all.

this snip is comparing 2 fuel maps.

i would call them the same....

you can download nistune as a trial, load them up into the main and comp slot, then click the magnifying glass to compare.

Thanks very much for confirming everyone, looks like it will be good to use.

Hope this post helps anyone else with similar question in the future as a lot of ecu questions relate to R33, but not many for R34.

Just letting you know from what I've found the s2 manual models have a different exhaust cam, compressor wheel and compressor housing compered to the auto s2 and all s1 models.

I'd love to see some hard evidence that manual and auto have different exhaust cams and different turbos.

Series 1 are obviously different from Series 2. (compressor wheel from memory)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
