works the same for sr20 only diff is the Cas wiring you just need to swap the wires around iirc but the rest is the same

Nice redraw but coils and injectors must not go to batt or they will be on all the time
injectors amd coils need to be connected to batt via a relay to ignition

what features do you lose ? SonOfAnarchy ZA thanks for the reply, on the tacho cable on the dicktator where would I connect it up to ? coz surely if I remove my std ecu it will stop the rev counter working?

Temperature compensationsmash!! wrote:what features do you lose ?
Knock compensation
A/C control (cut-off while accelerating, idle control, etc)
Fault diagnosis for sensors
So, pretty much all the safety features of the stock ECU.
As for the rev counter, I believe you just connect the output from the ECU to a pin on the back of the cluster.
S13 CA18DET, NIStune and...oh wait no that's gone.....

thats the plug you use and those 2 wire are the ones you need. one is for the tacho the other is your temp guage can remember which one is for what you will just have to measure which one went to the temp sensor

Just FYI dicktator wasted spark does not work with a stock CA18DET CAS(crank angle sensor) the trigger plate needs to be changed
