I have just fitted my ns15x to my UK "zenki" s14 (i have a later 1996 s14 with the 64 pin header) along with my tuner we performed basic settings, set up IAT sensor, calibrated map sensor, throttle position and set triggers types, set master fuel etc. (for clarity it had an apexi power FC fitted previously and had the CAS wiring & fuel pump output in the ecu header repinned to JDM configuration as is necessary. So i am using the "jdm" setting on the trigger dip switches.
To begin with it wouldn't start and it would kick back under cranking, turned over fine with fuel turned off. My tuner had mapped an s15 on a g4+ in the past and had to set the trigger offset to -98, did that with mine and it now runs but poorly, possibly on 3 or fewer cylinders. Whilst it is running trigger 1 signal flashes on and off whilst trigger 2 stays on, rpm value flickers between correct value and 0. In the trigger scope it shows trigger 1 scope as a full block of green. (see attached) when i change the dip switches to the non jdm setting imagine the same scope but swap them round.
When i plug in my old power fc the engine runs just fine so im fairly happy there isn't an issue with the engine, wiring or CAS. I only changed turbo, I/C pipe work and ecu, nothing else. I have noticed there is a surface mount chip that appears to be "wonky" compared to all the nice squarely mounted components (see attached) it is probably nothing but its worth mentioning.
I have an event next weekend and worst case im going to have to get it tuned on my old power fc but that means im going to need to refit a maf and a few other changes, not really a massive trauma but that wasnt really the point of buying this ecu.
Current map of it running poorly attached.
Other spec / info worth noting:
Injectors Nismo 740cc
Link Bosch 2 pin type IAT sensor
Onboard 7 bar MAP sensor (thought id bought 4bar but 7bar turned up, shouldnt be an issue?)
VAG TFSI coilpacks with ignitor bypass (runs on power fc fine)
Throttle position sensor OEM
CAS OEM
FPR OEM 3 bar
I'd be over the moon just to get the bloody thing running on 4 cylinders about now
Thanks, Nick
