Anyone know where i could install another killswitch that would leave the ignition system with no power or the fuel inectors with no power? its an S13 ecu

Ive been reading over the wiring diagrams and i couldnt find a ground wire that would work, it looks like the ignition system goes to a "power Transistor" that grounds out in 2 different places. so i dont know if thats evena good idea or spot to put killswitches.

I want another killswitch thats not the fuel pump. I just cant find a good ground to put one that wouldnt cause a fire but will also stop the engine from firing

Im looking at Nissan's pin #4 for the ecu, it should be a red/black wire that comes from the eccs relay, im wondering if that would be an ok spot to put a killswitch even though its a positive wire

And here comes the interesting questions: "why","what car", "what engine" and "what EMS" .

But really, why ? Why don't you just put a switch on the wire that goes from the ECU to the fuel pump relay and call it a day ?

kyral

MY bad on that its an s13 ecu car and engine really shouldnt matter since all the s13 ecu's use the same pins for wiring to the ecu
but its an Sr redtop in an S13 hatchback

I dont want the engine to even be able to fire

and i want more than one killswitch

What is the end goal of this?

Then install an FIA killswitch the way it is supposed to be done (with the resistor) and be done with it.

The power transistors that command the injectors are inside the ECU so you can't do anything there. And i would not mess with the ignition either.

If you don't want it to fire and don't want to wire an FIA switch, manually disconnect the power amplifier or the coil harness. There is no other (simple) way.

edit: there is a "hacked" way, that would be to install a switch on the CAS signal line. But you have to shield the whole circuit as otherwise it will act as an antenna and may send false triggers to your ECU.

kyral

What about breaking a connection to the eccs relay? that should cut off power to the ecu right?

I have an s13 Kade. I have a toggle switch, (breaks circuit) on one of the wires running to the stock(ish) ECU. Works really well. I haven't had any noticeable problems in about 25k miles.

My reason for doing this, Croustibat, was because I wanted something that someone wouldn't really think to look or hear for.

harrypotter

so where you going to place the switch?

Where ever one pleases to. I have mine under the dash on the passenger side in an undisclosed location. The toggle switch is nothing fancy. The wires are hidden within the harness so they're not standing out like a sore thumb. Also, the toggle switch is the exact same colour that it's fastened to...extra camouflage.

You do realize those cars are not worth a dime, and no one in their sane mind would steal one unless it was tuned enough so they could get some parts from it, do you ?

kruked

Yes sir, I am fully aware of this.


Completely rebuilt block and head w/ 40k miles. Enthalpy tune and all the crap that goes w/ it. AEM gauges, Bee*R, Apexi AVCR, steering wheel and Q.R. R32 seats, control arms, coilovers, Sil front, rims, brakes...

Don't get me wrong, it's still a 240, but there are quite a few items there that will grab the right person's attention.

Croustibat

Yeah, i can understand that.

I just went the opposite way. Car doesn't look like much, until you see it moving.

cotbu

Respect the creed!
This is my 240. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If you're really from France. You wouldn't understand why theft deterrents needs to be put in place even if it's "not worth a dime".

I already had a car stolen and burned, thank you. It still was a crappy car that some idiots stole just because they could. If it had a kill switch, they would have burned it right there, which would probably have burned the place i was living in. So yeah, kill switch on a rusted piece of crap is stupid, as much as stealing them is stupid.

But the stupidest of all would be to actually drive a showy rusted piece of crap in a neighborhood full of idiots. Better move out than add bling to that piece of crap... because cut off switch ? If someone wants the car and can't make it start he's just going to wait for the owner and beat the crap out of him, tow it or burn it down.

That is reality.

Now I fail to see the point in your xenophobic remark, so you might want to explain it... do you mean "our thieves" are smarter ?

kyral

What purpose do you serve on this thread? take your negativity somewhere else or provide some good useful information
Do you know a good place to wire in a killswitch or not?

Croustibat

Yeah, like i haven't already. He is a piece of advice : don't act like a paranoid fool if you don't like being treated like one.

You don't know anything about the wiring of your own car but you want to put TWO kill switches on a piece of crap. You don't want your car stolen ? Then move out. Best anti theft device ever.

Kingtal0n

I like the OEM clutch neutral safety switch, just relocate it or wire it to something else.

silverarrow27

Sounds like someone just had a meltdown. Please keep going...I personally think "your thieves" are more desperate than "our thieves" from what it sounds like LOL How's the French economy?
