ECU CAPABILITY

Recommended Posts

Continuing on from a high jacked thread.

 

Remember this is a forrum not a wiki fact even though I'd love any responses with some hard cold facts.

 

How do the knock sensors work exactly with the ecu.

 

I know they are a Mic type sensor , the ecu can't here sound though, so it converts it to frequency (voltage).

I am sure I've read about as well as witnessed with my rb20det the ecu changes knock voltage resistance in 9rder to detect knock levels.

 

I had my car on 98 octane knock voltage was 2.4v.

 

Put in e85 (I am flexi o2 sensor setup)

Knock voltage takes steps over time at idle to 2.1

 

What I read is that it does this because it gets minimal knock counts and increases the Mic power by lowering the voltage resistance.

 

In a wave graph form 2.4 up then down , a listening spike of knock of .0333 of a volt or what ever miniscule amount will be smaller in that (2.4) than in the (2.1).

Making it easier to recognise knock.

 

Ok all you cheeky buggers that wanna tare at me as if I changed a bible.

 

Your turn to swing [emoji8][emoji23]

What?

 

 

In particular seeing as you ha and asked for fact sheets when people have pointed out what you have said is wrong, seeing as you read this

 

"What I read is that it does this because it gets minimal knock counts and increases the Mic power by lowering the voltage resistance."

 

can you start with where you read that from?

I have been looking and for other stuff too.
I believe it was a tunning forrum.
It was 5 years ago when I was goin nuts trying to figure a way to analogue tune my car with the dodgy safc.

Before I read that I just believed the voltage readings were the figure the ecu used.

I will do my best to find it but reality is. Saying 'wtf' isn't a real post or help or discussion.

As I stated in the high jacked thread you guys were making me believe. Not vice versa.
All I did was attempt to help someone and have most my posts miss quoted or misunderstood. If it was understood I would have reasonable responses posted back to me.
I see some attempts at this without the extra expanded thought. Like the impacts of the 'explained' vs what I said , and yes maybe I am wrong on some levels or maybe not why I started the thread.

I actually see why no one comes to sau anymore unless they desperatley need help.
It's like a farkin clergy.
Can't say one thing wrong or in the wrong way or ya get molested by the elders. Ahahahahahahahahaha.

Common good discussion. Not prove it.

I wanna hear from people that have analogue tunned there car by fooling.

Yes everyone with a pc that tinkers too.

As I said my phone wants to correct me yep I'm a bad speller but I don't care.
Also have fat thumbs.

So I agree u will understand that.

Don't be a keyboard warrior.

That's like paying too much for nuts.
Bahaha (hey I didn't make shot postage was 8 bucks and I had to drive there to post about 5 bucks.)

Spelling is the least of my worries.
It's the egos that float about here.
I am human.
Some respect goes a long way.
Show me yours and I show ya mine.

Always been an issue here at sau though.

I found some knock sensor info I'd like to share. It's not the article i read about the rb20det ecu. But will be helpfull to some people.

Note that this isn't all car specific.

This was a good read too.

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/testing-the-frequency-response-of-a-knock-sensor/

What i was talking about is the engine noise voltage resistance. So it only hears the knock.
That is the resistance that I remember reading about that the ecu modifies to help listen. I'm pretty sure.

Also might be worth noting that my experience here is with the 20det ecu. Maybe the 25 is diff. I'll keep googling. Try to find the article from years ago.

Me looking at google aint what a discussion is. You were full of insight earlier and i take aboard what you said why im wanting a discussion. The bit about the belt making the rb jumpy cause of cas not crank sensor was on the money, I'm wondering is they are different in the way the ecu interprets and gathers information from the knock sensor.

Surely somone can show me a tuning article where it says the appropriate confirmation of how the ecu interprets and deals with the knock frequency vs the noise frequency.

SAFC tuning is just as good as advancing your CAS a few degrees and bumping up the fuel pressure. As you bend your AFM signal you're using different a TP Load column. Great for grenading motors if you're not careful.

Stock ECU belongs in the bin, only exception is when you've installed a Nistune board. If you need a Nistune for it, I'm a dealer and also tune them. 

PM me for pricing.

Firstly this has been moved from for sale to a more appropriate section.

Second, I'm not really sure what the question is, or your intended action based on the response, but page EN-229 of the GTR workshop manual talks about the knock sensors and how they work.  One thing you should be aware is they do not detect knock, just a sound that is likely to be knock

ECU doesn't really give a shit unless it exceeds a threshold and just pulls out timing, nothing more nothing less.

It's not as advanced as modern ECUs, it's 1980/90s junk at best. Unlike an EVO ECU, it actually run multiple maps for low/high octane

Does not seem like a discussion.
More like a scolding.
pfft to this site and to you egotistical
Karnts.
I cbf talking to you as you haven't backed anything up just talk to me like I'm nothing.
Maybe id listen to you idiots if you had some respect. Besides who the fark are you. Some jerk off that can't even have a discussion on the net without belittling somone else too feel better.

f*k u * looks at (gts boy)
f*k u *finger too (dose pipe stustustut
f*k u *jerk off motion at(ben c)
Ur kool *points too (duncan)

Lol... how many cars have you popped on the dyno and tuned yourself?  

Yeah not many.

Also the duct tape on your BOV return isn't doing you many favours either.

I'm all happy to help people and give them some information  but you've come across as some yoda, nearly like a Andrew Hawkins with a RS3 kind of guy.

didn't seem that way
Yeah I worded it wrong.
And surprise surprise y'all prove me right about not being able to discuss shid respectively . Ahaha.

IF YOUR SMART ENOUGH TO TUNE.
YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND ME.... AND NOT PROVE HOW MUCH OF A WANK PACK THIS FORRUM IS WITH THE ATTITUDE YOU GIVE.

As I stated I'm not wanting a discussion with anyone that thinks I should kiss there ass. Fark off.
Let people who want to actually discuss it do so.

Thread ruined. Locking the door on this one for me. Maybe someone that is interested in how the ecu works (not just gets tuned) will make a thread where I can have discussion without a pack of priests raping me over the sacrilege of my non beliefs in there bible.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
