To use this on an RB20det, is the wiring harness swap the same as the 25 one, or are there other wires that need changed around?

the rb20 requires more swaps, but all ultimates have the instructions in them and the wiring diagram is idiot proof so just compare RB20 to the loom you are buying in the manual.

I got my EMU today.The good thing: Its version E. Serial number 9027 or something.

The bad: My instruction manuals and install cd got stolen or lost.

I got the instructions already. Found the where to get the software also.

Now some questions.

In the manual it says that I can either run Knock1/Knock2 or water temp/iar temp. So this means that I wouldn't be able to datalog all of them at once, right ?

Another thing. What about the relay switching option in EMU. U can turn on the electric radiator fans with it, no ? And u can have the VCT if u got rb25 running of rb20 ecu, right ?

God damn the day I installed the EMU !!!))

First day I had a hangover and little sleep, installed the emanage. According to the manual ! Engine didn't start. Ripped the baby out, still didn't start. No spark!

2-nd day. Traced the problem - faulty igniter. Changed to a working one. Wow, we got spark now and engine starts.

Did some driving with Innovative LM-1 wideband, good afrs at idle, low load/cruise. around 14-14.7. Nothing under 13 for sure. Hard to look at the thing when driving.

Plugged the emu again. Haha, this time I noticed, that yesterday I didn't even look at the ignition channels chart for the inline-6. Damn ! Thats what fried the igniter.

Engine started, lumpy idle. And damn those afrs! 10-11 on idle ? Wtf ?

Did some driving. Cruise - 10-11. When I step on it it gets better - 13-12. even 14 some times. What is going on ?

I did choose the rb20det and wire it in according to the manual this time ! Didn't give me any errors.

Need help !

Anyone ?

URAS, looking forward to your insight. ))

Ok. I went to the basement car park to play around with e-manage.

What did I find out.

Started from scratch, like choose the vehicle type etc, like I didn't touch anything, exported the data to EMU, started the car. Was rich. Then I tried to play with I/J map. I subtracted 0.05% or 0.02ms from the revs it was idling at and wow afrs rocketed to 14-14.7/15. I was like yeah, cool, but do I really have to subtract 0.05 from all the load points ? I played around with it and went for a quick 1st gear drive around the basement. Still runs rich everywhere.

I went back to my parking space. Then I opened up the choose your vehicle type menu.

Everything was spot on, accept when I got to the I/J setup. It said I got 260cc inj. I believed that rb20det got 270cc inj. WTF, Greddy ? I changed the inj. size to 270, like I was upgrading them. Left the stock one: 260cc, and put the new one - 270cc. And afrs turned to normal again! Haha.

I went for a quick 1st gear drive with dataloger on again. Seemed to run beautifully, just like stock. Afrs also same as with stock ecu. I was happy.

Then I opened up the throttle a bit and bam ! I got new rev-limiter/or rev cut at around 4-5k rpm ! Car just splutters. I didn't believe my eyes and tried again. Same thing. Went to park the car. I tried to rev it at idle - revs freely to redline on light throttle. As soon as I open the throttle more it cuts the revs at 4-5k rpm.

I didn't have time to stay, so I decided to leave it as it is for now. I got back my stock afrs at idle and cruise and it idles smoothly now. Just need to find out what is causing the rev-cut now !

Need some help, guys !

Thanks!

I will upload a datalog later.

looks like you're hitting r&r with 3.7v @ 3500rpm

in the boost limiter cut settings, put 3.7v from 3500-4500 and see if that solves anything. it may do it again at around 5500 but we'll deal with that if it comes up. keep an ear out for pinging.

edit: i made you a map for you to try. PLEASE keep an ear out for ping, log data and report back.

p.s. i take no responsiblity if you blow your motor because of this, but i didnt do much to it.

Thnx, Security. I will try it today later or tomorrow. U just clamped the AFM voltage, right ?

Today I swapped the knock1 channel to read water temp. Now I can do auto-target map and afr datalogging. I will datalog all the stuff and post it here.

Seems so strange. When I put it back to 260cc it doesn't have that R&R. It just runs rich. I will leave all my data here, see if we can get around this problem. So other rb20det guys won't have to hurt themselves so much )).

I do have a frontface plenum, but I doubt its that. It was all good with factory ECU, no R&R. Only rb25 guys know about this R&R word, not rb20s :banana: Haha.

yeah mate, i only clamped afm voltage. with the front facing plenum you may be getting more flow which may max out a normal afm. i mean, another standard rb20 may not see those afm voltages at those rpm because of the usual gear + usual setups. you're running more flow on the standard AFM (im guessing) so maybe it is causing some kind of r&r?? thats just a guess though, the map that i made you should test my theory.

I tried to do some datalogging again. With my LM-1 and Water temp sensor working this time.

Only left 1 knock sensor (knock2).

I see some Knock reading of 4% highest with 270cc inj, and up to 11% with 260cc and running very rich.

When I lift the throttle at 260cc it just continues to backfire until drops to idle. There is no R&R issue with 260cc. Only with 270cc.

Security provided me with the map, with clamped AFM voltages at certain RPM (aka Boost CUT). As u can see it didn't help a lot, but I could over rev the cut and go to redline(go pust the cut, by keeping the throttle depressed longer.)

I can't really understand whats going on. Maybe I should clamp more voltages, datalog it under slow rev up, and add fuel where necessary to avoid lean afrs and knock ?

Appreciate all the feedback!

well then obviously the afm clamp is working because you've completely overcome the last problem, its just moved to a higher rpm which you couldn't have seen because you couldnt get there!

try this one, ive added more voltage clamp:

270cc_rb20det_SECURITY_TRY_2____more_voltage_clamp.zip

Thanks, Joe ! I will give it a go today. Will let you know how it went.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok. It didn't really change much. I even tried to clamp 3.7v through all the rev range. And still that R&R/Miss. Maybe its something different ?

I've included AFRs/Knock this time.

Also I got my EMU reading 1point higher than LM-1. LM-1 shows 14, EMU - 15. Did I get my ground wrong or what ? It wasn't like this the first time I connected it.

I think something is a bit wrong with my setup. The only thing I can think of, is I wired EMU ground to the same wire as EMU inj. ground. As id didn't want to turn on(no lights) when connected to factory ECU ground.

Damn. With 260cc I have no R&R problems, accept running rich. ((

cant you use the 260cc settings but by using the A/F map settings?

like, you'll be getting the emu to tune your injector map to suit your preferred a/f's at every rpm vs. afm point.

Joe, check out my thread at emanage forums. It seems that the problem is deeper than I thought. In inj. drop outs. Need to ground them better.

Can you pls send me your maps to work out my settings ?

Have problems starting the car with 270cc inj. Put back 260cc and fires flawlessly. I will try to do a couple of power runs with 260cc inj. settings. Log A/FRs, Knock, Water temp everything. And see if I will be able to lean the tune out a bit.

Will see how it works.

Updated my EMU with the newest firmware and software. Went to do some powerruns and datalog.

Idle AFRS were even worse than before - 9-10.

Check out the logs, guys. Some really crazy things there ))

Thanks for all the feedback !

EMU_Datalogs12.01.2008.zip

Yahoo ! Some good news ! I've reset the EMU. Like I choose the engine, all the stuff. Done everything from scratch ! And ohh my god. AFRs went to normal at idle ! Didn't mess with inj. left it like Greddy programmed.

Gave it some rev - no splutter. Gave it open throttle rev on idle - no splutter ! Haha, was I happy ) Went for a drive with datalogging. No more splutter in 1,2 gear )) 3rd gear had some splutter in 140km/h range. But it wasn't as violent. And afrs didn't drop. Maybe I had little fuel in the fuel tank or it still my inj. earth problem, but it was much better than before )) Haha. I'm still smiling now ))

Still need to source the inj. drop out problem.

:P

EMU_Datalogs13.01.2008.zip

What I've noticed is that Greddy have changed the RB20 inj. lag time in the latest update(2.16). It was 0.70ms before, which I think is right. And now its 0.

still confused ))

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
