Hi guys and girls just want to no what's the better ecu to run on my r33 gtst s2 my minds been in limbo for months now wondering what ecu to buy and what's your experience with the brands Or any other suggestion my setup gonna be hi flow turbo bosh 040 fuel pump z32 afm not sure on what size injectors to run oh and has anybody had experience with those forward facing plenuims on eBay are they any good.

go for cheapest.. probably PowerFC

HOWEVER, Haltech has about 1000000000x more features:

- flex fuel

- launch control

- anti lag

- flat shifting

- boost control

- internal map sensor, ditch AFM

- closed loop knock, wideband O2, etc.

- IAT input

- no need for stupid data logit boxes, direct USB

I personally would go Haltech, not bother with those dim sim Plenums and use the stock one.. afterall you're only using a high flow, which does not warrant a plenum upgrade.. save that money for a proper mechanic diff.

Thanks Luke and John haltech it is, would this be a good ecu if I wanna keep going crazy on power upgrades lol on the dim sim plenium but I hate the the look off the stock one it makes me wanna close the bonnet lol

Hating the look of the plenum isn't enough of a reason to change it and lose torque.....

stock one looks awesome.. here's my engine bay

halthech will grow with you.

Last my engine was running, I was at 445rwkw.

And there are plenty more with higher power then me.

As i said though, go the platinum pro plug in.

Seems to have a better feature set.

The sport 1000 doesn't have support for more then 4 coils from memory.

Think i shall be seeing JEM for the Halteck on myS2 R33 with my hiflow i recently got. Already saw a 49kw increase atw with the stock ecu and an avcr controller on the same 10psi that the stock turbo was running. The halteck can also support the very sexy looking racepack dash later on ;)

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
