Here's the dimensions of the superseal ECU socket used on the PCB, two 34pin sockets are used: http://ecommas.tycoe...437287-8_O6.pdf
The PCB is double-sided with surface mount components on the underside, the driver heasinks sit ~3mm higher than the top edge of the superseal connector. The actual PCB is not large at ~165x167mm.

If the heatsinks aren't bolted to a large piece of alloy like the Extruded Vipec case then you run a good chance of bricking his $2500 ECU.

Im not going to take it apart if Tristan chooses this route. but i will say i can do many things and hiding a ECU is very easy and making it look stock,
But i still say be a bit more constructive then negative.....and throw some good ideas to help member Tristan to solve his dilema

[DY028]

Just a thought why dont you get the stock ecu and stick it in the stock hole with a stock bit of wiring (plugged into the ecu and going to nothing) and hide the aftermarket one out of sight where ever... then if your asked the question - "its stock", they look in the stock place and there it is a stock ecu...

quite a few NSW engineers are aware of that trick these days. They test it by removing an ECU plug and then start the engine... if it starts, you're hiding something. A mate had this exact test done when getting his 2JZGTE cressida engineered. Might aswell be honest from the outset IMO

Some sort of remote switch that you can flick to kill the stock ECU while they've got the dummy one unplugged?

yeah lol! just chop the power wire and run it through the stock ecu plug and then hook it back up.. so when the fake ecu is unplugged the real ecu has no power...

Thread put through the washer + drier = cleaned. Don't make me start stuffing heads in there.

I have alergies to that f*cken soap you prick!!!

[Evil_VZ-T]

How many people drive around with aftermarket ECU's in their car? A fair few, If you put it on the engineer's certficate, when it come to pass your green slip or whatever it is in NSW, you will be asked for an emmissions test. Now that is a absolute Prick to pass. So hide it away like everyone else and dont say a word. My insurance company knows about mine, But the RTA doesnt:) Keep the AFM in the intake piping, no one will suspect a thing, Your car Doesnt have big shiny FMIC pipes or a turbo.. Stress less mate

no... just big shiny intake pipes... and it doesn't have an AFM... it uses a MAP sensor... lol


um, thanks (i think) guys...

but i'm just gonna suck it and see... from what i could gather, the engineer seemed to be quite happy to just turn a blind eye...

though i am slightly worried about it passing emissions now...

whatever... if it fails i'll just fix it and try again in the future...

Steps to take 1 - go to bunnings 2 - Purchase massive packet of steel wool 3- leave bunnings 4 - pack the fu** out of your exhaust full of purchased steel wool 5 - Pass emission test. Been there, done that. Trick is, to fit it just after the cat, so it doesn't get blown out when they rev hell into your car.

[Xon]

Put some wire mesh in after you pack the steel wool in?

[XXB4XX]

yep you can do that between the joins to stop it.. using some aluminium fly screen can help there, but with an NA H6, shouldn't really be needed.. I had to make a plate up with holes in it, to let air through, and quieten down the exhaust, along with steel wool.. but that was on my V8.. once again Big a55 hectic hairstyles V8.

if Tristans car has a cat even a hiflow one, the emissions should still comply to the current ADR etc as his engine is rather new, but if the tune is a bit iffy then there might be a problem, but even then they will knock it back and he can fix it and go again...

if it has to comply to the emissions for the year of the car then it will pass easy...
if it has to comply to the emissions for the year of the engine then it may have a problem...

It will have to comply to the year of the engine, as you are putting in a newer engine then the car. then i say u have a problem....

Because thats how it works
eg: if u put a Vz v6 for an instance in a EH late 70 or which ever year its made in: then you will have to comply to the engine thats going in, if the car was younger and your engine older then the engine would have to comply to the car specs...

you have to comply with whatever is newer??

makes sense...

how will they know what year the engine is if i don't tell them??

i guess they can look up the engine number or something yeh?

yes comply is to which ever is newer and yes they can tell buy engine numbers, not sure if u will ahve to supply them where u got the engine from who done the conversion, but u will need to provide recipts etc when u do a blue slip and most likely on the blue slip the guy will write what engine it is...etc etc

[aekOne]

spoke to blue slip guy. all i need is receipt for engine with engine number to pass. easy spoke to engineer and had a quick look and said it'll be fine. haltech ecu is also fine. easy

[DukeNik'em]

and most likely on the blue slip the guy will write what engine it is...etc etc
