Sydneykid from what i have read from other people that have used this ecu in their auto skylines, they havent had a problem with the ecu except for the gearchange to be a little jerky.

Yep, that's the problem I found in the one (and only one) I have driven. It was a bit annoying in that R33 GTST. But in a Stagea, towing a trailer with an R32 GTST on it, it may well be terrible. I don't know. :confused:

BTW abu, when your manual has done a 9, then you can sling off at R33 autos. Until then :wassup:

Hey MJ let us know when you get it done and how everything went.

The Map I sent you I got from Steve_SST and when I tested it on my GTST everything seemed to work fine other then it wouldn't idle properly. I found that gear changers were a little jerky but only from first to second all the other gears seemed fine.

I haven't got it properly installed as yet so mine just needs some fine tuneing just waiting to get some more parts together and do it all at once.

hey guys strutto and i put the ecu in today and its great. It was pretty damn easy to install, only had to run a vaccum hose from the engine to the ecu (for the map sensor) and then plug the ecu into the loom, after that we loaded the map to the ecu.

At first the car wouldnt idle. So we increased the richness by 15% and it idled great. We tried to lower the richness but the car wouldnt start then. But i have a feeling there is alot of caliberation that is meant to be setup to help with this, as we had trouble setting the air temperature and we didnt set the load caliberation table etc.

The car blows a bit of black smoke when it starts as its getting way too much fuel into it but that only lasts 2-3secs while the car is starting then when it idles it goes away. Im still reading how to over come this, as there are alot of fuel modifiers to play with.

The gears from 1-2 is jerky and then from 2-3 it seems to hold the gear much longer then the stock ecu and sometimes i have to take my foot off the accelerator for it to change to 3rd. I also have to push the accelerator further for it to downshift too. Apparently this can be fixed by running the TPS and Tacho singal from the ecu to the auto ecu. I havent tried this yet as it was getting late.

Performance wise the car runs like a rocket, when i floor it the car is very smooth through the rev range and pulls much harder then before. Im only running stock boost too as i havent sussed out the boost control yet.

So i still have alot to play with but its been great learning how it all works and im sure with more time and playing around with settings ill have those problems sorted. Then it will off to the dyno for a final tune :D

Im just hoping it will start tomorrow morning on a dead cold engine :)

Cheers

Good work MJ when you can get the $$ together i can't recommend highly enough getting it dynoed!! I just had a Link ECU installed on my auto (running a pod, FMIC, and a 3" exhaust from the turbo back and using the standard boost solenoid) last week. BEST MOD EVA!! I got just under a 40rwkw gain. They used a TPS to control the gear change and is smooth as!! Only drama I’ve got is its a bit more difficult to start takes longer to fire?? Apparently it’s to do with the map sensor i don't know weather you noticed that?

40kw gain id be stoked with that :)

Dyno tune will probably be next week depending how quickly i sort everything out. My car is hard to start now but that can be due to a number of things, the bosch fuel pump needs to be primed before it will start and i have to setup the fuel modifiers correctly. I hope the plugs dont get fouled from the rich starting.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the r33 auto ecu? I need to find out which wires are the TPS and rpm signal

Cheers

Matt

Good work MJ, Mine done the same thing with changing from 2 to 3 and also changing into overdrive a couple of times I had to let my foot of so it would change up, but it did run smother and went well, did you callibrate the TPS?

What MAP did you use?

I used the map steve sent me, the ignition maps were quite a bit different to yours. Have you got ur ecu in the car and completely tuned? So you did fix the gear changing problem by tapping into the TPS wire of the auto ecu?

I havent caliberated the TPS yet, where in the pc software do i do that?

The map I have is the one that Steve_SST sent me it hasn't been changed, I haven't gotten round to getting all done as yet. No I haven't tapped in to the TPS.

I'm not to sure where it is in the PC software I just do it with the Hand controller.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
