Link G4+ r33 skyline

After making a couple threads and doing research I came to terms with the fact to do it properly I'd need to spend money on a link or haltech ecu. Link being the choice as value wise it outshines haltech. 

Link supports e-throttle so I can delete the iacv too which is beneficial to me as it has been a bit faulty and cleans up my ffp install. 

How would I go about setting up the e-throttle and what is general used?

In general people are trying to get rid of their fly by wire rather than the other way round but I guess someone will have done it. I see you are determined to spend up to $3K to avoid upgrading your AFM.  You will need the Link, a MAP sensor ( the built in one does not have enough range for serious boost), an IAT sensor, boost solenoid and an auxiliary loom. You could save money by getting the G4+ Atom (see link) for about $1K less but you have to wire it yourself.

You can also save a few bucks by not buying the Link boost solenoid as it is just a re-labelled Mac valve (35A AAA DDBA 1BA) which you can buy elsewhere for less. Also I used a GM MAP sensor instead of the Link one.

Good luck!

The link has better engine protection, I thought e-throttle was better because it controls the idle and you can delete the IACV and some vacuum lines which are associated with that. 

I haven't found many people who are doing that in saying this. I am happy to stay fly by cable, I will order the MAC valve now. Also my car only runs 20psi of boost is the onboard 3 bar map sensor not good enough?

Link is normally 2.5 Bar standard, best to buy the 4 bar, 3 bar boost is heaps and heaps.

Fly by wire is a waste of time and money on an rb, this of the extra power you could buy.

 

Big boy v8s get rid of them as the fear of the throttle staying open is all to real and a quick stab of the gas won’t fix it

Yep just checked the website - it says integrated 4 bar map sensor. One of the good things about Link - continuous development and life time guarantee. Also on-line or phone support.

So check with your supplier that they haven't got old stock. You can buy direct from Link (although you won't get it any cheaper that way).

Hey Kiwi, can you link me to a genuine Mac Valve, I purchased one off ebay that said it was genuine but when it arrived today its unbranded and looks like junk.

Ebay from China (or is this what you bought?) about $30 they look right although they have made in Taiwan on them. The Australian distributors for Mac are:

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
