need one a.s.a.p! :cry: ! how much posted to newcastle? :D

 

mods are: hks induction kit

hks evc1

hks turbo timer

hks bov's

3" exhaust from turbos back

uprated smic's

 

not wanting to slate anybody but was told by previous owner that car had hks turbos on but when i checked they have garret written on them and i thought hks made their own? was told they could have hks internals by local tuner but he also told me he was 99% certain the car wasnt chipped even though it has the socket soldered in to accept the chips, am no expert but isnt that correct?

Show me a photo of the chip, might be able to determine what map you have.

I think 1st you need to be absolutly certain what tubs you have, no one can write a chip and guess what you have. Could be a very costly excersise

FAO:somebody who can burn chips!

 

I'll put you in touch with me missus :wack:

cant get a pic up at the minute but the chip i got the car with looks like the rest of them with "japan" written on it like the other chips in there with a funny mark like an O with an + through it and it has a gold sticker on it, the chip i bought off ebay from a member on here i fitted and the car would misfire as soon the car came onto boost so i took it back out and fitted the chip the car came with now it wont even start :cry: a can hear the pump prime but when u crank it over it doesnt attempt to fire

The originals have a white label with a Nissan part number, typically something like 8AB9120J.

 

 

Did you install the chip the correct way around - with the notch facing towards the centre rather than the outside of the ECU (if that makes sense) ? If you get it the wrong away around it will never work again !

HKS use garret turbos...

yea i put it in with the little dimple at the end indicated on the circuit board, av left the battery disconnected for a bit, a need to go over the hospital to see me dad then i will re-connect it when i get back and try startin her again

didnt know this! so they could actually be hks? are there any markings/numbers i could look for? all i have seen so far is garret written on the back of the compressor housing

Easiest way to tell if they are stock is to count the number of bolts that hold the downpipe on. If its 4 then they're stock/hybrids. If its 5 then they're deffo upgrades :)

It may have been damaged by static too. Does the electric fan come on as soon as you turn on the ignition ? If so that is a sign that the ECU is unable to read the chip properly.

am quite sure it did, or it may have been when i fitted the chip that wont let me run boost, al check when i get a sec as the car is stuck outside my new house and im at my mothers, i let the gf get on with the decorating while i fiddled with the car swapping the chips back over now it wont start so its stuck there :slap:

so if there just four should i just get a chip for standard tubs to be on the safe side?

I'll send you a chip that will 'get you home'. All you have to do is work out how to contact me with your address, as I see you're not a subscribed member ! :D

dam, my ecu fan used to spool up as soon as i turned the ignition on my old zed... maybe why it wouldnt boost over 7psi... DOH!

More likely the water temp sender was Donald Ducked - that way water temp never goes above 60 deg C and so car stays at standard boost.

going to subscribe mate! been meaning to 4 a while! i been down and cranked her over again still not firing and doesnt even sound like its attempting to but no fan cutting in so i swapped back to the chip that got the car down there and still nothing and now im sure the fuel pump isnt even priming! also i realised i had been using a magnatised screwdriver to prize the chips out :xxx: im guessin i've totallly screwed sumthin up :wack:

A magnetised screwdriver won't do anymore damage than a normal one.

av been as careful as possible and havnt caused any visible damage, could i have damaged/disturbed the wires on the ecu connector with the amount of times i've had it out and re-fitted it?

The long blue connector is a pain to get in properly, try playing with that, if you tighten the screw too much it bows the ends of the blue connector so thats as bad as not tight enough.

To burn a chip that will safely run your car and get you home the injector size / latency and the type of air intake (single or dual) is the most important information needed.

ummmmmm standard injectors and single intake with hks induction kit

goes in fine just turnin a 10mm socket with fingers till tight, seems to sit fine

And auto or manual ...

You can max out standard injectors with standard turbos so that should answer the turbo question. If I were you I would try another standard ECU. If your car is AT then the ECU needs to be from an AT car. The ECU year type needs to be the same. Going home stay away from high boost.
