3. Use one of the following options for passing the Breakout

Loom's Air Temperature, LTCD, and Fuel Pressure cables and
plugs through the firewall.
Also, see Figure 8, it shows the main harness grommet and
the 16mm hole from the passenger footwell.

5. Install the supplied Air Temperature sensor.

It is highly recommended that this is installed in the inlet
manifold. Ideally the manifold should be removed and an
M14 x 1.5 threaded hole should be drilled and tapped as
shown in Figure 5.

Option 1 Drill the unused existing 16mm hole (has a

blank grommet installed) out to 21mm and pass through
the Fuel Pressure, Air Temp and LTCD connectors and
cables, using a suitable grommet to seal the hole.
Option 2 The 16mm grommet hole may be used
without drilling by first removing the Fuel Pressure, Air
Temp connectors and the LTCD female pins from the
LTCD socket, then passing the loom wires through the
16mm hole and seal with a suitable grommet. Reterminate the Air Temp and Fuel Pressure connectors.
The LTCD connector need only have the female contacts
re-inserted and the orange cap replaced.

Figure 5.

6. Insert the four Stub Looms into the M150 ECU. The Stub
Looms, except for the loom with the Ethernet connector (see
note) are symmetrical and either end may be inserted into the
M150 ECU. The connectors are keyed so that they can only
be inserted into the corresponding sockets.
For the Stub Loom with the Ethernet cable, ensure the plug
containing the Ethernet cable is plugged into the M150.

Figure 3.

Option 3 Remove the main harness rubber boot from

the upper firewall (best done from inside the passenger
compartment). Feed the cables and connectors through
the main harness rubber boot by adjusting or modifying
the boot to suit. The rubber boot should then be repositioned, ensuring a good seal. See Figure 4.

7. Fix the three Velcro Dual Lock strips to the M150 mounting
position, orientated to match the orientation of the velcro
strips on the ECU. The mounting position is different for RHD
and LHD vehicles as described below:
For RHD M150 mounting position is on top of the
Adaptor Box, as shown on the first page product image.
For LHD M150 mounting position is behind the original
ECU Mounting Plate, on top of the Suspension Control
Unit. See Figure 6 for a representation of the assembly.

Figure 6.

8. Place M150 over mounting position and secure by applying

firm pressure to ensure Velcro locks.
9. Plug Stub Looms into the Adaptor Box.
Figure 4.

4. Replace stock Lambda sensors with supplied NTK Lambda

sensors, extended via NTK extension looms to LTCD NTK.

10. Place Adaptor Box onto stock ECU mounting studs and fix
using original four M6 flange nuts.
LHD mounting requires a metal tab to be bent away from
Adaptor Box housing.

14. As there are several engine and sensor combinations on this

vehicle, confirm which package file should be loaded into the
M150 ECU:
2007 - 2011 models use identical injectors
2012 models use alternate injectors
2013 models use alternate injectors
Ambient Pressure sensor has two options. It may be
derived from a sensor in the evaporative canister, or a
sensor may be mounted above the ECU, as in Figure 8.

Figure 7.

11. Connect the R35 Breakout Loom to the Adaptor Box.

12. Connect the stock ECU harness plugs to the Adaptor Box.
13. Position the Ethernet cable for easy access and connect to a
laptop with M1 Tune installed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I change turbos?

Can I change the MAF sensor or sensor housing?

Yes, alternate turbos can be characterised via the Boost Aim table
and PID boost control settings.

Yes, the calibration must accurately reflect the sensor behaviour.

Can the MAF sensors be removed?

Can I use external waste gates?

Yes, however, they must be characterised via PID boost control
parameters.

Yes, the software can use another combination of load sensors to

run the engine.
Can I change boost and MAP sensors?

Can I change throttle bodies?

Yes, as long as the calibration reflects the altered sensors.

Yes, however, we recommend using the stock throttle bodies as

these are sufficient even for high powered drag applications.
Alternate throttle bodies must be fully characterised.

Can I run high/low injectors?

Can I change injectors?

Can I use stock Lambda sensors?

Yes, as long as the injector calibrations are changed to suit.

MoTeC provides standard calibrations.

No, the kit includes 2 NTK wideband sensors and an LTCD-NTK

controller for accurate and repeatable measurements.

Do I need to re-tune the engine after an injector change?

Can I change fuel formulations?

As long as the injector calibrations are correct, the system will

recalculate fuel delivery and only fine tuning may be required.

Yes, as long as the Fuel Density and Fuel Stoichiometric Ratio

calibrations are changed to suit. Flex fuel sensors are not
supported in the initial product release, but maybe supported in
the future.

Can I change fuel pumps?

Yes, fuel pump configuration is very flexible, switch points can be
adjusted to suit. In addition, an external PID controlled pump can
be used, which requires a MoTeC DHB (Dual Half Bridge) to drive
the pump.

Will my stock odometer and tripmeter work?

Yes.
Does cruise control work?

Can I change plenum chambers?

Yes, a single control parameter must be changed and the
efficiency may need retuning.
Can I change intercoolers?
Yes, crossover type intercoolers are compatible but not
recommended.
Can I change intercooler piping?

Yes, fully supported.

Yes, full Cruise Control is included.

Can I use this system with a standalone VR38DETT engine in
another vehicle?
This firmware is designed for full vehicle integration with the
Nissan R35 GT-R and errors will result if the associated vehicle
systems are not detected. The engine may be used standalone,
however, some sub systems may not function correctly.

Yes, changing ECU settings should be unnecessary.

MODIFICATIONS GUIDE

Primary injector settings adjusted for each cylinder (where x

is the cylinder number):

While many components may be changed to achieve better

performance, some combinations are more likely to deliver
improvements with minimal re-tuning from the installer, tuner, or
customer.
In general, Original Equipment (OE) or stock fuel injection
components will be suitable for improved performance. However,
when the capabilities of certain OE fuel injection components
reach their limits (for example, inadequate injector flow) it is
necessary to replace these components with higher performance
alternatives.
MoTeC has conducted many tests to characterise components for
optimal performance within the M1 environment. This is
particularly relevant in regard to our comprehensive, precise and
highly repeatable injection calibration testing, which allows for
fuel pressure and supply voltage variations. Each injector for
which we supply data has been subject to some 400 tests; this
level of detail is not likely to be achieved by installers, tuners, or
customers.
It is our recommendation that components are chosen from our
list of suitable options when selecting alternate parts.
Each component listed below includes the settings which should
be adjusted or checked with M1 Tune. Clicking on these settings

Fuel Formulation

Fuel Injector Secondary Contribution

Current MoTeC injector calibrations are performed with a

reference fluid which closely models unleaded gasoline. If fuel
formulations such as E85 are used where the density is
dramatically different to conventional gasoline, it may be
necessary to recalibrate injectors to suit such fuel. In most cases,
however, it is sufficient to make the following setting
adjustments:

Turbo and Wastegate

Any suitable turbo and wastegate combination may be used,
however, the following M1 ECU settings must be adjusted to
optimise performance:
Boost Filter
Boost Activate

Fuel Density Reference

Boost Margin

Fuel Density Temperature Coefficient

Boost Maximum

Fuel Stoichiometric Ratio

Boost Hysteresis

Fuel Molar Mass

Boost Aim Main

Fuel Injectors
Standard injector flow is 600cc/min at 3 bar fuel pressure.
Suitable replacements are:

Boost Control Feed Forward

Boost Control Proportional Gain

ID1000 injectors 1000cc/min at 3 bar. Fully calibrated for

M1.

Boost Control Integral Gain

Siemens Deka 110333 2315cc/min at 3 bar.

The Siemens Deka 110333 requires extra spacing for the
fuel rail, but otherwise fits under the OE manifold.

Boost Actuator Polarity

The following M1 ECU settings must be adjusted to reflect such a

change.

Throttle Bodies

MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor

Standard throttle bodies have been used in engines delivering up

to 1500HP. We suggest retention of standard throttle bodies. The
M1 throttle model is a characterisation of the flow characteristics
of the throttle body and recalibration is not easily performed by
the installer, dealer or tuner.

The standard MAF sensor provides an adequate measurement

range up to 650HP (480kW). If the standard sensor is placed in a
larger diameter housing it is necessary to adjust the sensor
calibration. An approximate calibration can be achieved by using
the squared ratio of cross-sectional areas of the original housing
and the replacement housing.

Fuel Pump
A replacement fuel pump is recommended as the standard pump
may be inadequate. The M1 package allows for PWM control of
an external fuel pump (via a suitable driver device such as MoTeC
Dual Half Bridge - DHB). The following M1 ECU settings must be
adjusted to reflect such a change:

For example:
Standard housing is 64mm, new housing may be 80mm.
Ratio would be 80/64 = 1.25
Squared Ratio would be 1.5625 (that is, 56% more flow at a
given voltage reading).

Fuel Pump External Output Frequency

Fuel Pump External Polarity

For best accuracy the sensor should be physically calibrated.

The following M1 ECU settings must be adjusted to reflect such a
change:

Fuel Pressure Control Default

Fuel Pressure Control Over Pressure Margin

Airbox Mass Flow Bank 1 Sensor Calibration

Fuel Pressure Control Feed Forward

Airbox Mass Flow Bank 2 Sensor Calibration

Fuel Pressure Control Proportional Gain

Boost and MAP sensors

Fuel Pressure Control Integral Gain

The stock boost sensor has a range to 270kPa absolute, that is,
1.7 bar or 25lbs of boost. If higher boost levels are achieved the
boost sensor can be replaced with another which has a higher
range. Boost sensors may only need to read down to 100kPa
absolute. The following M1 ECU settings must be adjusted to
reflect such a change:

Fuel Pressure Control Integral Minimum

Fuel Pressure Control Integral Maximum
Fuel Pressure Control Derivative Gain
Inlet Manifold or Plenum Chamber
The stock manifold may have horsepower limits, and numerous
aftermarket devices are available. The following M1 ECU settings
must be adjusted to optimise performance:

Boost Pressure Bank 1 Sensor Calibration

Boost Pressure Bank 2 Sensor Calibration
Boost Pressure Bank 1 Sensor Voltage Filter

Inlet Manifold Volume

Boost Pressure Bank 2 Sensor Voltage Filter

Inlet Manifold Time Constant

Intercooler
Alternate intercoolers may be used, cross-flow types are not
recommended. Tuning adjustments may only be required if airflow
changes significantly.

The stock MAP sensor may also be changed, however

replacement MAP sensors should be capable of reading down to
20kPa. M1 ECU settings must be adjusted to reflect such a
change:
Inlet Manifold Pressure Bank 1 Sensor Calibration
Inlet Manifold Pressure Bank 2 Sensor Calibration
Inlet Manifold Pressure Bank 1 Sensor Voltage Filter
Inlet Manifold Pressure Bank 2 Sensor Voltage Filter
