Hi Mods,

I have completed few ecu programs for different injectors and all set to work with a Z32 maf, but I would like some one to host them if possible. I haven't tested them in a real life senarios, so user use it at your own risk.

Here is a list of the tuned programs that I have made.

370cc with Z32maf440cc with Z32maf550cc with Z32maf650cc with Z32maf.

If some one can host them and make it a sticky that would be great.Please email me your at [email protected] so I can email you the bin files for the above programs.

Thank you,RafiPULSAR GTR

Ok, I will whip up a web page tonight. I actually want to make a site specifically dedicated to ECU tuning on the CA.

Ok, its done... for the most part.

Here's what I did-I made a file management system. Basically it is divided into 2 categories. One category is for the Live Edit program and the other is for the ROM files. It also has the ability for people to upload their own .bin files and give a description of each one. This way here other people can submit their own tunes. It would be nice if people were to upload them, to give a list of their current mods so others can compare. Give me some feedback on it. I am going to make a main page with tips on tuning, what kind of stuff you should get, etc... Here's the address-

http://ca18det.escic.com

Enjoy!

I'll email the other mods right now and see how they want to work this. It'll either be it's own sticky (we're trying to minimize the number of stickies) or one of the current stickies will have a link to this thread contained in it.

ill try out the 370-z23, and 550-z32, but it will have to wait till i can get my good computer chipped, my chipped ecu started acting up this week and not giving me enough fuel, stock one works great though.

well as I was copy/pasting back in from my post I noticed that it cut my "long description" section off and thats probably where it got the syntax error in the error msg I posted, it cut off the end and didn't close the " for the data in that column, and screwed up the rest of the DB insert.

but I just now tried again and made sure it was shorter, got this: The file type you uploaded is not within the allowed extensions list. You may not upload this type of file.

the filename is CAMAF-dsm450cc-240kmh.bin so I'd hope you are allowing .bin :P

Damn, you guys got it licked. I wish we had guys like you in the 240sx community.

Anyway, what would it take to get you guys to help us out a little? All we seem to have are a bunch of deadbeats that tell us to search and figure it out ourselve's. Hell, the only thing I'll figure out is how much it will cost to rebiuld my motor when I blow it up.

What do you say guys, can you throw us a bone or two?

Hi Edub1,

What is a common setup for your KA engine, as I just got some bin files and address files for the KA engines sohc and dohc. I will try and setup up some tuned ecus, but I need to know what kind of injectors and setup is the most common.

On the other hand, have any one tried the above bins, and if so, any input will be great.

Cheers,RafiPULSAR GTR

Dude, you rock!

Probably the most common setup would be 7 - 12lbs of boost, 460cc injectors and a Z32 MAF. What software do you use?

As for 180 tunes, our motors are 2.4L. I'd be leery of a tune based on a 1.8L

We use the Live Edit program that is on that site above... if you have a KA24E, then all you need is to get your ECU socketed. If you have a DE, you will need a daughterboard. Go to http://www.bikirom.com and check out some of his boards.

Works fine for me. Make sure you follow in the installation instructions precisely. It's finicky in that way. You MUST have it installed in the C:\ drive (the root of C drive).

Do you mean ROM Editor? If so, Live Edit is nice because you can use it in conjunction with the pocket romulator from xtronics (www.xtronics.com) and do some live tuning on the dyno or street (provided you have a wideband). Plus, Live Edit has a much nicer interface...at least to me.
