It will work and run the car. You may experience a high idle that will not drop until the car comes to a full stop. This happens on some of the auto ecu's on manual cars.mrzabala wrote:Hey Nick. Was wondering if ecu 63 for an automatic will work for the manual? I read it does but would like to know from a guru.
Good news is that its not on the JWT list which means it is most likely Japanese since none of the numbers come close on the list. Its not a CA or RB ECU because they are listed in MEC order. Its not an S14 or blacktop S13 ECU because those are A18. And it isnt most other Nissan ECU's with the same plug shape, there are about 40 or so similar ECU's.IDriveFords wrote:Speed will know better than I but I'm pretty sure it will. I can almost assure you it will. I still need to find out if I even have the right ECU. So if anyone has a manufacturers part# list I would greatly appreciate it.
Yea I know the # on the sticker is completely different than the # on the board and Hitachi makes most of Nissans electronics. I've already searched down ECU's on ebay and whatnot but those dont help me figure out the manufacturer part#. I do know the processor chip inside this ECU is for a sr20 but whether its FWD or RWD or for an sr20det is still a mystery. I'm in the process of trying to source another ECU. The fact that all the stickers are rubbed off would explain how the wrong ECU would've gotten sent out. I ordered the swap from jdm-online and so far they've been helpful but I waited too long to finish my swap so I know having the wrong ECU probably won't be warrentied. Thnx for the info speed, if you find anything else keep me posted.SpeedRacer1 wrote:I just realized that you said it was the board number. That makes a difference since Hitachi not Nissan made the ECU's. So there are no part numbers available. Also the number on the board IS NOT the same as the number on the sticker on the front.
Though A12 is much more common on the boards of ECU's so there is a much better chance it could be an SR ECU. My sticker says A11-000 G90 but my sticker says A12-001 G90
Hey bud , im just having some issues with my car and im wondering if u can help me out . we r trying to make a power fc that apex said is for a blacktop 94-96 (E5 ecu) into a "98" blacktop that came with 62 ECU ( i checked your ecu list and didnt see a 98 with a 62 , saw 91-94 coming with 62 but no 989 ( i dont know i smell something fishy here) since i bought a suppost to 98 blacktop. well the car wont start with the POWER fc , but it does start with the 62 ECU and also start with a E5 , we repin the hardness trying to make the power fc to work but still no powering up the car , car is dead with power fc .i appreciate if someone can help me out , I WANT MY CAR Also is it anyway to tell your motor year? outside of the clip?SpeedRacer1 wrote:Sometimes the engine idles somewhat high for a short period of time until the engine warms up.
Try unplugging the IACV connector while it is running and see what happens, it should be the 4 wire connector between the 3rd and 4th intake runners, one of the wires is light blue.
thanks so much bro that info really helped me out . here is the suppost to engine that is installed on my car , took this pic when engine was on frontclip stil. check it outSpeedRacer1 wrote:If the coilpacks havent been swapped for any reason then you can get a good estimate on the month/year the engine was made. The coilpacks have stamps on them that say 91, 92, 93, etc then they have little dots stamped next to the numbers, one for each month the coilpack was at the factory before it was placed in the engine. What you do is go to the last year the coilpack did not recieve 12 dots on it and count the dots. So if for example your engine was made around May 1995 you would have 5 dots on the 95, and 12 dots for the preceeding years. This is just for getting an approximate age.
Now, if you have the VIN number RPS13-######, off the front clip. I can tell you the month and year the engine was made.
If the engine started and ran with 62's and E5's then it is not from 1998. A 1997-1998 ECU for an S13 blacktop is a J4 ECU. If you try to run a 62 or E5 ECU on a 1997-1998 engine the engine will only fire on the FIRST cylinder.
One other way to check the generation of the engine is to look at the parts on it. The 1997-1998 S13 SR20DET blacktops recieved S14 alternators, TPS's, AC pumps, and speed sensors in the transmissions. These either have S14 part numbers on them (alternator/AC pump) or just look totally different than the earlier SR's (TPS/Speed sensor).
I dont understand how is that possible when the tag says 1998 ? and yes tonz of fins . I would like to really confirm this since the shop sold me a "1998" and If i can have some prove i can show to them that the engine is not a 1998 like they told me . kinda start making sence like the 62 ecu that came with it . instead of a J4 if is a 1998.SpeedRacer1 wrote:The front clip was made in April 1991. The valve cover may have been swapped, look to see if you have head fins.
