Just trying to find out if there are more than one rev limit addresses in the RB20DET (ECCS). The reason I ask is that I decided to put my rev limiter up to 8200 and it hasn't change at all.

Ive always been under the impression that it was set at 7800 and was found at 7FB4(address line) in the eprom.

Any ideas guys?

Well if anyone is interested I did end up finding what the second address is for the rev limiter. Ok address one is 7fb4(and this value is 9C in hex which ends up being 7800rpm) and the second is 7f8b (and his value is 97 in hex which ends up being 7550rpm)

I tested both these values and these seem correct.

Oh would anybody be interested in me posting up some stock binary files for a couple of cars. I have a R32gtr and an R32 gts-t stock bin file plus a few others.

Firstly you need to get you ecu's eprom removed and a 28pin socket put into its place so you can insert/remove the eprom easily. If you aren't to confident to do this just take it to a tv repair shop and get them to do it for a small cost.

Secondly you need an eprom reader/writer that will allow you to write new eproms. Theres a good one that you can buy on www.batronix.com that uses the pc usb port. Very good as you dont need a power source for it. They give you the software for it too.

Thirdly you need the software that alows you to modify the eproms data so you can change the rev limits/ fuel cuts / fuel maps / timing maps etc. I use the romeditor software which is located at www.925style.com/editor_direct.html. You need to download the address file for you specific car etc.

I'll get my work laptop online later today and I'll post up the bin files of the RB20DET and the RB26DETT with the adress file for the RB20DET which I had to modify to allow for the adjustment of second rev limiter and a few othe minor things.

I'm guessing you have an R32 GTS-t ?

I'll post up URL of a site that is dedicated to the 300ZX Z32 and it has a very in depth explaiation of the ecu. The same basic principals apply to the R32 GTR/GTS-T. I just don't know the url off the top of my head but is bookmarked on the work laptop.

That zed site is

http://cherrypicker.tripod.com/turboupgrad...0dett/id10.html

The HCR32_256_Rev2.zip is the address file revised for the RB20DET(R32).

The Bnr32.zip is the address file for the R32 GTR.

R32 GTS-T ECCS RB20DETStock.zip is the stock bin file I read from my eeprom and is from a 92 R32 GTS-t type M.

R32 GTR RB26DETT STOCK.zip is the stock bin file for the R32 GTR.

I'll post up some info on how to use romeditor and the basic theory behing the nissan ecu's at a later date when I get the chance.

Yeah that file @ http://www.boostcruising.com/silvia/romstu...uff/romedit.zip is the same as the one I have. Thanx StraightSix.

I just fixed up my post on the files so you all know what the files are. I didn't explain it too well the first time.

Something I was wondering about . . . would a good approach be to tune with piggybacks and then transfer that tune to a chip? Or would the fact that the piggybacks can only give you values that are already in the factory chip be too limiting?

Oh and RD would you object if I reposted those files on GTRCanada?

Cheers

Piggy back computers are really limited to what the ecu can do in the end, well from what I understand anyway. I would say it would be just as easy to start from the ecu chip rather than to transfere from a piggy back.

As for the files thats fine I don't mind at all.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
