hey guys,

just want to know whether anyone has had expirience with these plug in retuned ecu's from japan? i got my hands on one from a mate cause he thought i might want it....LOL (why not)...

just wondering....has anyone used one? results? doesnt matter what rb motor....but i just wanna see if they r really a sham..coz atm i got std ecu with fuel cut defender running the mods i got listed below.

is there a website to check the computer ID number or watever u call it? cheers. i got another ecu planned for my 32....but maybe this could be good.

my mods:

full 3 inch X-force exhaust

hybrid frount cooler

highflow r25 turbo

fuel pressure reg

what gains r there from these ecu's? sorry guys im new to the ecu side of cars.

cheers,

daniel

The only gain is a sketchy tune state.

I say this because the tune isnt for our fuel, and you have no idea what mods the ECU was tuned for to begin with.

Japs ECU's like that unless re-tuned here (sometimes impossible), really are mostly useless unfortunately, and can cause far more harm than good to your motor.

i had one, put it in my 32, was no different then the standard one at first, but after a couple of weeks using it i started to notice i had slightly better fuel economy and no speed limit and rev limit lol.

but as r31nismoid said, they can do more harm then good, because you dont know what it was originally tuned for.

mines been running in my car now for over 1yr, only cause i havnt gotten around to takeing it out lol.

i have had good success with Mines ECU's

But like what most pple say they are not tuned for your fuel.

Most ones iv got from Japan have been for stock injectors and are just a general power up like what your would get for your Civic from "Chip Torque".

But with that said most Mines ecu's i have used have given better ecnomy and a little bit harder on bout 14psi with only basic mods to an rb20.

I have one mines ecu for a a31 that came with GTR injectors,GTR Pump etc etc and it was a diaster, on 8psi the thing would ping its ass off.

Although tuned roms are still popular in Japan, i would only buy one hear if i new what it was tuned for.

Blitz access expreriance is only of an sr20det 180sx. Thing went really well for what it was.

Cooler, stock turbs and had seemed to go realyl well with the ecu in it.

Then one day it just died. :wub:

Throw the ecu in, and just take it easy, listen for pinging!

Make sure you have a good tank of premium and just take it easy until you know it will run the car fine.

Really you can plug it in, get it on a dyno and see what happens.

You'll need a fuel pump first, i wouldnt even go near a dyno without one

Personally i think your wasting the dyno money, as the ECU isnt going to be anywhere near decent IMO.

oh ragex! yes it does have a blitz sticker on it....and two access stickers over the sides, plus an ecu number sticker on it....that help?

ok i have an essential tuned rom, i didnt use it cuz i had so many mods on my car but anyway, OPEN it up, and look in side what you are looking for is 2 kinds of these computers

one has a say 1 inch square chip on the board some times they have a glue on them it has tiny little legs all sides

THE other has a retangle chip also known as a EPROM it has little legs only on the long sides.

if u have the retangle one, you can actualy retune that computer, by your self if your confident OR take it to a few places i can recomend

P.s the square one can be tuned but no one will do them sorry....

i have a square one :laugh:

ragex,

would u mind giving me PM just in case it is the rectangle one.

Thats even sillier! You wont know what the AFR's look like.

If you hear it pining, then its way too bad of a tune.

If you wanna spend $80 and give it a go, no worries :)

It's silly to judge by what you hear too, because pinging and knocking is most often inaudible to humans in the first place.

It's only serious knocking that you hear. Sometimes it's already weakened the pistons by that time.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
