Ecu Remapping For 97 Sr20de With Turbo Fitted

[Brokenz]

I have just fitted a Turbo kit to my 1997 180sx which had factory SR20de (non Turbo) with Distributer setup. Its running fine but I dont want to get it on boost till I sort out a safe tune. I have discovered that my late model CPU cannot be re-chipped with the daughterboard like the eariler SR20 Cpus and I cant run an eariler CPU without changing the loom which I dont want to do as I will also have to convert the engine to coilpacks/cas. I just wonder if I can use an SAFC and that will be ok for fueling the turbo setup or will I need something more. Is there anyway to set up a 180sx Blacktop Sr20det powerfc to run a distriuter setup?

i would be checking out a nistune. as far as i'm aware all sr20de ecu's can be remapped as they aren't any different to the earlier ones. all 180sx engines are the same, as they didn't change them like they did with the silvias. also on the nistune website they have boards for the later turbo models anyway (s14 and s15 det). they also do them for late model pulsars which run the distributor setup on the sr20de.

i would contact nistune directly with your ecu number and ask them if you can put a board in. or was it the guys at nistune that said you couldn't do it? if so, i'd look at the possibility of putting in the ecu from a n15 SSS in as they can have a nistune board added.

There is some issue chipping that late model 180sx cpu as they do not have the connecter pins for the daughterboard. But I managed to buy a used powerfc on yahoo this week so my problem is sorted. Its a FC3S one modified by AP Engineering to SUIT SR20DE in the late model 180sx. Its a rare item and I have never seen one for sale before but it suits my needs perfectly

you can easily retrofit other sr20de ecu's into it. We mix and match all the time, but your pfc will be a sweet easy fix.
