As of starting now and i hope this can get a sticky I am gonna be Specialzing in ECU upgrades,tuning,modding for the KA's... so for the newbies if you do not have any knowledge of computers, wiring, programing,file editing,rom editing, or anything that's electric or cars in general I would not consider doing this what so ever!!! and wont be no need to be start posting and asking because you can just come here and ask, or PMing me, e-mail, or aim. Once I get mine done and when I test it I"ll be making offers to do other people's KA ecu's but it'll cost ya some but not as much as it would if sending it somewhere.

Now with that said... getting down to business on what's going on with that???

Step 1. I'll be removing my ecu from my car.. not hard and already out.

step 2.. once the ecu's out take the casing off....

step 3. pic ecu close up and where the upgrade is done! circled red!

step 4. I'll be getting my solider out.. soliding needs to be done so like I said if you don't know how to solider things don't be doing this on your own!

step 5. order the kit like I have done.. just now i'm waiting for it. kit includes a daughterboard - a daughterboard is used to for for removing fuel/speed cut from the S13 computer and tuning for turbo upgrades etc. to allow remapping of the engine fuel and ignition as well as fuel cut/ speed cut etc. The daughterboard is what you will be soliding so if ya don't know how to use it don't try it! Nex thing included in the kit... a Nissan Consult Interface, which is a project for communicating with Nissan engines via the factory diagnostic port. It consists of an interface to allow communication between the Consult Port and a PC/laptop and some software to run the whole thing. All the information required to build your own unit is provided. Using protocol and commands to write an application of your own to run on the PC/laptop/etc. soooo again like I said if you don't know protocol's and commands do not risk trying to do this on your own! NOTE::: you will need some electronics skills... and if you don't have the skills then you know the answer... *don't even think of trying*now more into what else is needed for the project... a 4 map switching module... to.... is used when developing maps and be able to switch maps.....4 maps are prgrammed into the chips on the daughterboard and the switcher is used to switch between them so you can work out the optimum settings. The switcher is a small box which connects to the daughterboard via a 4 way ribbon cable and can be mounted anywhere in the car!

Step 6. you need a copy of a ROM Editor (or similar map editing package). And an EPROM programmer this is software.

step 7. chips are also needed that fits the daughterboard.

Now breaking it down shorter for the ones who know what I"m talking about and understand this type of work.

1. Remove solder from pads on motherboard and solder header (supplied) to motherboard.
2.Move the jumper to force the micro to use external memory (details provided with daughterboard kit).
3.Source base maps for/to your ECU.
4.Modify the maps using a ROM Editor Program.
5.Program your new maps into ROM chips using an EPROM programmer.
6.Fit the chips to the daughterboard and plug the daughterboard into the header on the motherboard.

here's the ecu close pic where the work is done.. i have it circled red...

:updates then... as soon as I get my kit and start the work if i'm not too busy with something else

meanwhile if anyone has a question just PM me and ask for my AIM screen name.. I'll be glad to talk.


I hope this can get a sticky. : )

I have been up for hours and days and done researching on everything.... and major props to wikd240 also for the support of my idea and help of the re-searching!

and hope to start my own ecu business soon and be traning my friends to help with the work...

KeN VeRsUs RyU

let me the first to say

HOOK IT UPPPPP. d=D

SHIFT_Sideways

you got it man.. as soon as i get my pieces!!

Make one for the RB20 I am getting!

SHIFT_Sideways

first I"m doing KA's, then I'll start to look into doing sr's, ca's, rb's and the vg's.


I will also get dyno proving results if that makes some happy.

wikd240

one thing that was not mentioned is that you can actually run your car off of the consult tool and software on your computer befor you ever burn it onto a chip... quite usefull if you are sitting on a dyno... to do this you need a little more software but it gives you the ability to tune on the fly...

Why is this in "Style"???

moved to General

sorry s13 240, hee didn't know where to post it in. thanks. Can this get a sticky???

LA_phantom_240

dude hook us up. Maybe you could make some money lol

SHIFT_Sideways

yessss.. that's what i plan on doing after i do a few KA's pretty well.. i'll be looking into doing sr's,ca's, rb's, and vg's

SHIFT_Sideways

heee it can be my job you know since i don't have a job at the moment. ha
