is it possible to run a series 1 rb25det on a r32 ecu i only ask because the 25 is in a s13 and is allready not using the few things like the speed dependant power steering and the vct has been removed from the engine there is also a few other bits and pieces that were removed.

in short is it possible as i would like the option of a cheap remappable ecu

By the time you purchase the parts, ECU... and change a few things over to make it work.

You'll be close in terms of costings to PowerFC and that sorta thing.

It can be dont, there was a thread about it some time ago, although i cant remember exactly what it was about but i remember reading something.

Try the search button, might take ya 15mins to wade through some threads but you never know

you might be thinking of the thread asking if the rb25 ECU can be used on the RB20 ..

there are injector pins outs different.

also look at the Power FC FAQ on pauls site

http://paulr33.skylinesaustralia.com in documents

it has the pin out change over GIF that i think cubes made with the differences in teh pinouts.

if your realy keen to do it, start in there

just use the RB20 loom and AFM

so long as the AFM and CAS are RB20 units, it will run.

The AFM will simply read more air flow and compensate with more fuel... so if you have turbo injectors (370 compared with the RB20's 260's) youll find it will run too rich.

i found that the knock sensors are the same units, and by visual inspection the CAS looks to be the same (i will know for sure in a couple of days)

oh and just note that the RB20 ecu has no provisions for the NVCS so you will need to go to Jaycar to sort that out;.

    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
