ECU Question

[Jim]

If any1 can help......

Have an r33 that has previously had an EMS 8860 wired up to it......but the computer itself is missing and the wiring is still there.....

My question for everyone is would it be better for me to buy a PFC and install that (dont know to what extent i have to chage it back to standard wiring....as i dont know if ems uses full loom) from nengun there about $1k~ or buy the ems unit and plug it straight in ($1.5k~).

If it wil only cost a few hundred to put the pcf in thats what ill do as im a bit worried if i get pulled over and have the ems. cos if i do cop a epa then thats a hassle wiring it back to standard as opposed to tthe plug and play pfc.

i'd go the PFC, as you said. its easier in the long run if you get defected or anything

how do you mean its 'missing'

[Jim]

Missing as in not there.....capish.......(was stolen)

[Wazz]

ahh gotta hate theives damn bastards sorry to hear.. were you still running a AFM with the EMS? if so would be easier to go back to power fc.. how ever if you werent it'd be a bit more than just 1k if you were running map thru the ems to go back to pfc with afm and shit unless you get the djetro model or so.. either way your choice

[Jim]

ye was running afm.....so what u think it would cost to go back to a pfc...(not including the pfc itself)

Sorry not enough information to give a good answer. Is the standard harness cut? Is the standard ECU plug still there? Does it have a wally adaptor that goes from the standard plug to the EMS plug? Have you tried plugging in a standard ECU?

[Jim]

cant really tell if the standard ecu plug is there but im guessing its not.....as the ems plug hangs way out.....the wiring on the injectors also looks to be diff.

[Jim]

had a good look today......

The standard ECU Plug is still there...... but just before it (the auto elects...or whoever done it) tapped into the wires just before the plug and connected the ems plug.....

So it all seems to be connected but they have cut into it and added the ems loom......

Looking good as the standard loom is still there.....
