Once you go DBW, you don't look back. Great idle quality, AC doesn't cause idle quality to degrade.

The factory air leak valves are so slow to react, with bigger cams your motor is very inefficient at lower RPMs the compressor engaging is enough to stall the motor.

Nissan should have used stepper motors like JZs or 4Gs, instead they installed a two slow reacting air leak valves lol.

Have you seen the rats nest of hoses under the intake manifold of an RB26? Stepper motors for idle control is far too elegant. On the bright side at least the power steering idle up on these motors isn't a physical valve that can start leaking power steering fluid into the intake with age.

Used up everyone single DPI, AVI. Even sacrificed the power steering input lol.

DBW uses up 4x inputs.

How many extra i/o’s does if use.

The fact they fitted 2 of them always confused me

Drive by wire uses 4 AVIs and the 2 dbw driver wires 

brake and clutch pedal use one each

Thanks Looks like I’ll need an i/o expander. May as well get a can button panel as well. No clutch pedal on mine. So I saved one there

To free up some AVIs you can cheat with the temperature sensors and use them on SPIs and change the scaling of the sensor to suit 

the drive by wire AVIs must be on the ecu and can’t be in the i/o box

Did you not already fit a brake pedal input when going to dbw as fail safe if something goes to shit? 

Is that even a thing?

I’ll have to move some other stuff to the I/o box then. Probably auto controls

Try doing a brake job in a modern car with a factory ecu 

That's a different story.

In relation to aftermarket ecus with dbw I have never seen them need a brake pedal input as part of the safety system.

When you select drive by wire in the haltech ecu it pushes you to set up a brake pedal input so that if the pedal says be closed and the brake pedal is saying you want to stop but the throttle isn’t closed it will put it straight into limp mode

Interesting. Link ecus definitely dont do that, nor do motec from my experience.

 

 

it deosnt make sense, because all that matters is the pedal and the throttle relationship. If the pedal is lifted and the throttle is still open it should go to safety conditions straight away, regardless if you push the brake or not. Can't see how it helps at all. 

 

Also I am assuming you mean  a mismatch between the pedal and throttle and foot on the brake makes it go into safety mode, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do burnouts and that would be dumb!

 

 

Anyway I looked it up and it is optional to have the brake pedal as part of dbw safety with Haltech, and it doesnt relate to a failsafe function really anyway compared to having to have a primary and secondary position sensor on both Pedal and throttle.

 

Brake Pedal Check  Enable if a Brake Pedal Switch has been wired and configured. Enabling this function will enable the Max Brake TPS Setting. This setting will override all other commanded throttle values.

 

 

 

 

From

https://support.haltech.com/portal/en/kb/articles/drive-by-wire-elite

can't see why anyone would actually do it.

The brake input is optional on the Haltech, I personally don't use the brake input.

I'll post up my IO assignment tonight, unfortunately using SPI for temperature sensors are not recommended as you lose resolution.

I hooked up both my brake and clutch pedals into the ecu all my temp sensors are on AVI except fuel 

So are you using a lower throttle plate max opening with brake pressed?

using a brake pedal override seems like a nightmare for left foot braking/trail braking, and burnouts for that matter

Sounds like a great excuse to have a “hoon” “race” button on the CAN keypad

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
