Confused

[@1dan]

Hey guys ive just bought my 2nd r33gtst im a bit lost .... its got a fair few mods it doesnt have a AFM so im guessing it has another computer running the show but ive taken a look and it still has the stock computer in the car or so it seems.. Is this even possible ?The car runs perfect just curious thats all. i can put up photo of the set up if that helps?

Is the AFM in the cooler piping somewhere else, or is it another ECU like a PFC D-Jetro hidden inside the factory ECU case.......

hey mate nah checked every where only can see 1 sensor near the throtle body ? literally checked every where under the dash so im guesing its inside the old case?Also is there usualy a vacume line running into the back of the computer i just noticed?

that sensor looks like an air temp sensor so im guessing that there is an aftermarket ECU inside the standard ecu housing. probably something like a link g4 or a vipec.

check if there is a USB cable coming out of the ECU.

agreed^^^looks different to my vipec one but you never know

[NSNPWR]

No there is not usually a vac line running to the ECU, could be a Microtech, they have built in MAP sensor....I find it amusing you bought this car without knowing such basic things about it like the ECU its running...

What did the previous owner say? Does he/she know?

[STATUS]

might be an old link too.

If I didn't know the type of mangment system in a car I just bought... the first thing I would do is throw it on the rollers to check out the tune...

Make shure it's not running some "fully hecktic sick... timing"

lol yeh thats a valid point.

Looks like an autronic air temp sensor.

judging by the external gate 4" intake and most likely after market turbo id say its running a map sensor'd ecu...

[haha lol im not some noob and i know all the parts on the car i was just confused as to wat could be done to the computer.. if i was missing something ... it has a gt3240 external gate plazman intercooler nismo injectors big fuel pump ect the only thing im unsure of is the computer... oh yeah also goes on the dyno this saturday just to make sure all is good

only a noob would buy a car without knowing without knowing what ecu it is running with mods like that

[tridentt150v]

Ooh I don't know about that, a bargain is a bargain.............maybe thats what he had??

Anyway whats all the fuss about, a sub $1500 ECU, how many people here purchased their car to find some no brand aftermarket jap rechip or some such. I can't see any real difference TBH.

[SECURITY]

Do you realise how many cars come with mods from jap? I know guys who have stripped down motors and found forgies and cams. Also finding aftermarket turbos isn't uncommon either.

[tridentt150v]

Exactly right Security, as long as the price is right and the total package is good to go.........it only matters what you do with it after you got it that counts. So a check over and tune and and maybe a plan for what the car needs and what mods your looking at doing are the main points, not what happened before you got it. And if its no good then you wouldn't have purchased it in the first place hopefully.

[@1dan]

yeah thanks anyhow i actually dont know the last owner as it was a trade in at my families car yard he upgraded to a newer car...the car drives perfect and has been well looked after according to all the recipts in the glove box i have only had it for a week and have not had enough time to investigate every thing with work taking most of my time.... i guess only thing left to do would be to un do the stard computer and have a look in behind it.

[NSNPWR]

Do it!
