Are you sure man? I asked someone and they rekon I will have to send it back to microtech and they have to change it to suit a sr20 and that will cost me $380.

dude y would you have to do that as it is programble with a lap top thats bull shiyt

you can leave the laptop in the car all the time and tune it whenever ??

Asked my tuner. Your lt8 will only suit skylines.

It's the same as saying a stock sr20 ecu with control an rb20. It won't work.

This ECU will only suit skylines with the same motor as teazn_r33.

well my mate just brought one from a fella with a ford and is now using it with a vl turbo with no problems you rmight wanna get you facts straight

can u tell me y it will only suit skylines as i have had 2 professional tuners say other wise

i think you need to see a diffrent tuner if he is saying that

Thank you for your question regarding the Microtech LT8 ECU.

Unfortunately if you are wanting to put an ecu made for an RB engine and put it on an SR you will be required to send the ecu back to Microtech. Our first thoughts were to just try and get Microtech to load a new base map, which is only an $80 cost, but after talking to them for one of our previous clients who had used a microtech on a 4G93 and was changing to EJ20, after talking to microtech we learnt that their ECU's are hardware specifiic units, and when you order an ecu from them it is for that specific engine only. The main reason on why it is not possible is due to different crank angle sensor wiring setups on the various motors.

You can send the unit back to Microtech at a cost where they change parts of the chipset, and alter diodes and resistors so it works on the new engine it will be going in, they also send a new loom with it as well as wires out from the ecu will also differ now.

Many tuners like us get caught out by this if they have not had to do this previously, as I said our first assumption was to just load a new base map until we found out it is a hardware specific ecu.

It is possible to run that ecu on various versions of that similar motor.

For example, the lancer tune ecu we had was able to work on 4G63,4G93,4G92.... etc etc as they all share similar characteristics such as crank angle.

Since you are talking about the RB, I would presume that the ecu will work on RB20,RB25,RB26 and maybe RB30.

That is the problem with hardware altered ecus compared to software altered such as Motec and Autronic, yes the ecu is laptop tunable, but only once the base map has been loaded for that car and the internals changed.

I would give Microtech a call if I was you to confirm this however.

Please dont bother to ring Microtech until after 2pm and before 5pm as they have limited phone answering hours, Id expect the cost of converting to different engine to still cost around $380, my feelings are to just sell the ecu to a similar engined car if possible, as a new ecu is only double the cost of converting it.

Thanks.

Email response from my tuner. Rang Microtech and they confirmed what he said. So maybe you should get your facts straight.

Good Luck with the sale.

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
