Are any 34 owners out there interested in getting a daughterboard for their ECU?

Taken from http://www.sr20tuning.com/theoryandpartsrequired.html

Daughterboards are not really commercially available. Companies such as Chip Torque in Australia perform a similar process by fitting an expansion board and then storing additional tuning information that the ecu will read and use. There is nothing to stop anyone from using such a company to retune their stock ecu, but it will cost much more. Of course, you are paying for their extensive experience and expertise, which is no doubt of very high quality. Dyno tuning is also involved, with before and after dyno graphs. The process is payed for as a package, with the parts and labour included. One advantage is that the car will have is the potential to be retuned to cope with future modifications.
UPDATE (12/11/2004): seems the guys who I wanted to purchase the board from were getting too greedy only willing to sell me a 1 x board with either rom address table or the tuning data. So I have purchased a board+ribbon cable from elsewhere for about $135 EMS'd and should arrive next week sometime. Hopefully can extract the rom address table from the bin files manually.

UPDATE (17/11/2004): Ok, I have received the daughterboard from www.grid.co.jp all I need to do is get the stock maps and then install the board with the stock maps on it to make sure it works.

The instructions for the board does state the stagea, so it seems this board will work on the stagea as well as the S15.

It cost me $135AUD which included EMS delivery. Will post pics tonight.

UPDATE (8/2/2005): As per my post, have finally extracted stock maps from the ECU. Just need an address file so we can edit the BIN file correctly.

UPDATE (29/8/2005): Daughterboard is in the ECU, just need to test it out and still yet to crack the ROM with an address table.

This is ONLY for 34's with the RB25DET Neo. Auto/Manual does NOT matter.

Tuners who can do daughterboards.

Perth - Ken/Glenn @ HyperDrive (Install as well)

Sydney - Unigroup

Brisbane -

Melbourne - Dr Drift (Install as well)

Adelaide -

ed - I have quite a few customers in Melbourne who would be interested in these... do you have a source for the boards to suit the 34?? I have seen them before and can tune them, just not sure where to get the boards...

Dr Drift, yeah I have a source for this.

The problem is that the daughterboard on it's own is useless unless you have the address table, K-constant, speed limiter, rev limiter etc. as it means you would need to spend some time discoverying all this.

Which is why I am organising a group buy, so the cost of the address table info is split amongst us.

Dan, for some weird reason I was told it does not work on the N/A ecu's. But if you are willing to try.... :P

ok that's 4 people we have.

no one else?

This is what it can edit.

*Speed limit

*Rev limit

*Boost limit

*Fuel map & scale

*Ignition map & scale

*Acceleration fuel compensation map & scale

Also it will still throw up factory fault codes which the PowerFC won't do.

It is designed for the R34 and C34 running RB25DET motors :P

I think the exchange rate is currently around 78 so divide the yen by 78.

The rom data would be then further divided by however many ppl in this group buy.

I will post up a shot of the internals of the stock ECU soon.

I am not sure how much for tuning and such but places like chiptorque should be able to tune it.

That site you referred to got parts off Lucas, who runs www.bikirom.com - and supplies all his products from Perth. He has an association with Speedworks over here in WA. He has some top quality developments going on at the moment. His new multifunction boards allow flat shifting, rotational idle etc... pretty cool stuff for a standard ecu!!! Check out his website for more info.

JK

Yes but he does not have the complete rom address table.

daughterboard is useless without the full rom address table. :D

EDIT: I have been waiting for over 6 months for him to bring out the new design which doesn't seem to be happening.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
