Pardon me. The "snip the wire" refers to a 91 S13 with a KA24DE(T) manual trans. :-)
It effects nothing else. We shift BEFORE (or right at) 6500 rpm anyway.....

I've got a '90 240 w/ SR20DET swap, but cannot find the consult plug anywhere.. does it not have one, or is it missing?

NewKleer

ur original car probably didnt have one so u need to get a female one and wire it into ecu (assuming its a consult capable ecu...think all sr20s are, even early u12?)

qwikxr

cool, thanks!

is there a wiring diagram somewhere so I'll know where to wire it into the ecu?

NewKleer

yes, google knows

and here's pins for the connector - they should be found on the ECU somewhere (TX, RX, CLK, and ign/gnd can be any ignition switched source):

Thanks.. wow, I forgot I even posted that question! lol
I've got it wired and Calumsult working on my old laptop. My new(er) laptop wont seem to connect to the ecu.. I've tried all the port choices (USB) and nogo.. ARG..

which one is the best one to download or have if using windows xp to open it?

qwikxr

depends on what you want to do..

I've got
CALUMSULT
Nissan Data Scan
SRTalk

I use each for different things, just because


oh, and on my USB port on the IBM ThinkPad R40, it was Port3 for communications

what do you mean by depands on what you do? i want to be able to tune my own car

or do you use a different one for a different parameter?

NewKleer

u cant tune ur car with consult (but u can help tune ur car by monitoring it with consult).

like quikxr said, ud probably want to use a combo, as no software does everything (or does it the best):

nissan datascan ($25) - for map tracing, active tests, most things
ecutalk - best for logging if u want to analyse later
calumsult - for rom dumping, real-time graphs

how would you go about changing certain parameters if your car isn't running right? what else would you need?

NewKleer

if the car isnt running right due to a fault, find and fix the fault

if its not running right cause you need a remap (eg bigger turbo, injectors, changed AFM, etc), then you might one of calum's ecus or similar daughterboard/remapping setup

well as a tech at nissan I have a 94 p10 and i use consult 11 to scan b13 nd s13 and p10 just fine. But evry car sold as 2000 + requires the use of the converter cable useing the new white conector instead of grey consult port conector

se-rated r

okay, well what parts do i need to tune my car and what software shouls i download( i have a laptop with windows XP)?

just trying to fully understand some things............

will your calumsult do away with the need, or want for an safc2?

markbuts3

Consult doesn't make any permanent changes, only temporary and you can only change things globally, ie throughout the whole rev range and not shaped like the SAFC-II

Nissan DataScan active tests window.

like Mark said, consult based or piggie backed things dont make perminate changes

an installed daughterboard is what you want for tuning. considering you are in NH, you can talk with Greg Amy and the guys at Bishop Motorsports in CT on how to tune with the Calum Realtime ECU.

how would i get in touch with them???

so it would be beneficial to use the safc2 with the calum software?

NewKleer

all current consult programs are only good for monitoring and diagnostics - thats their purpose. ive no idea what you mean by beneficial - beneficial to what/who? consult would help in tuning the safc2, but safc2 doesnt help in using consult

93specv

ah ha....now we're getting somewhere.
