Does anyone know where the ECU for a 1990 s13 would be? I'm trying to find it so i can remove the speed limiter on it.

*ca18guy* · 10-27-2001, 01:19 PM

passenger foot well, in the back near the outside edge.

*ca18guy* · 10-27-2001, 01:21 PM

by in the back i mean the front, where your feet would be. Sorry if that was misleading. It's pretty easy to find.

*transient* · 10-27-2001, 08:36 PM

If that's the case... Then what the heck is this thing sitting under my console???

Don't get what your refering to :confused:  I guess my directions where alittle confusing, wish I could draw a map or something.

stix · 10-27-2001, 09:20 PM

Transient, the thing under the console is the seat-belt control. Hope that helps.

BlankFlip · 10-27-2001, 09:38 PM

they're under the dash on the front passenger side and to the right, right?

*DSC* · 10-27-2001, 10:21 PM

Here's a map <a href="http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/techadvice.html" target='_blank'>http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/techadvice.html</a> just scroll down a bit.

BlankFlip · 10-27-2001, 11:24 PM

guess i was right, i questioned myself though b/c i never looked on my 240.

IceTekGuy · 10-27-2001, 11:31 PM

Thats the seat belt controller.

The ECU is on the passanger side kick panel.

*DSC* · 10-28-2001, 05:59 AM

HEHE, imagine the look on Jims (or whoevers) face if they got a seat belt controller in the mail. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

stix · 10-29-2001, 03:41 PM

I cut the little yellow wire witht the green stripe, i'll let you guys know how it goes tomorrow on the highway. i cant wait. :biggrin:

S13Grl · 10-29-2001, 03:50 PM

lol DSC, you're honestly hillarious. Where do you get these picture-forming ideas?!?!?! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Nothing bad about it. I'd like ot know why you cut that wire and what does it do and how did you run?

wav399 · 10-30-2001, 12:55 AM

how do you know which wire to cut?

S13Grl · 10-30-2001, 08:34 AM

Haha! It's yellow with a green stripe. What I'd like to know is what does it do and how does it better performance?

stix · 10-30-2001, 02:57 PM

s13grl, the wire that i cut is the speed limiter wire. your speedo still works, because the information is first sent to the speedo THEN its sent to the ECU via the yellow wire with a green stripe. since my S13 has a fuel cut-off at 112 mph. i cut it so i can go faster. the car feels better without it too. it seems to use a lower rpm at higher speeds. maybe a coincidence? i think not. anyways, i hope that helps.

S13Grl · 10-30-2001, 03:01 PM

Thanks a lot! You miss your speedo yet? Oh, and does this also remove your limiter? (I don't think it does, just wanna make sure.)

stix · 10-30-2001, 06:17 PM

My speedo still works, so i really cant miss it. I havent found a way to remove the rev. limiter yet. I gotta work on that, its way cheaper than a new ECU, but thats definately down the line for me.

*transient* · 10-30-2001, 08:22 PM

Nice. I thought it was wierd that the ECU would be there...
