Hey Guys,

I want to Try put a Series 2 Manual ECU in my car to see if it changes anything.

Car was auto but changed to manual in Japan.

It has always popped and chugged below 2k rpm downhill or slowing up since I bought it.

Have read somewhere that being an Auto ECU can do this.

If anyone has 1 to sell or wants to Swap for a Series 1 Manual ECU (which I also have).

Let me know.

Cheers.

Rob.

So I managed to get one and yes twas from Ebay. Praps a bit on the exxy side but, what do you know? My baby no longer bubbles, pops and farts when pulling up or rolling downhill. It used to have a pop if I kicked the throttle to rev match when downshifting and it also used to have a small backfire pop when changing up a gear which no longer happens either. Does anyone know if I should check/adjust the timing after changing ECU? It was a stock auto ECU and now is stock manual ECU. Any thoughts / opinions appreciated.

Cheers.

*Edit. It'll be interesting to see if my fuel economy changes now.

Wouldve been popping and farting due to the auto ecu's not using overrun fuel cut

so you will pick up economy because you wont be using fuel on decel anymore :)

check timing to be safe, but i doubt it will have changed (unless the autos run different timing at idle)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
