i opened up my ecu`s today, one is a factory turbo a31 cefiro ecu and the other a turbo r32 skyline (i thought) i have opened 4 ecu all looking like the left hand ecu in the picture but the right side ecu in the picture has a totally different layout (no second board) any ideas on what it is i cant go off the casing as someone has changed it all the numbers are different the internal number is MEC-R531A

HI, Stick with your original ecu, R32 are different in the electrics department when it comes to wireing ect, Before i up graded my A31 RB20DET i had a dynotuned APET chip fitted to my ecu, Wow unbelieve able power, at that time i ran a 5 speed , modified exhaust and a good pod filter n adjustable blow of valve, After fitting and checking the tune i took my cefiro for a drive and it freeked me out how much faster it was with sweet f all done to the engine, I have all of the specs on the APET Chip and i still have that same ecu, I will sell it for $400 nz if you are interested, I run a RB25DET Neo Now, Regards Jamind

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc

      Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!

      Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)
