n338 and rtek 2.0

So i was reading up on the n338 n/a vert ecu how it uses same fuel mapping as turbo ecu. I know the rtek 2 is made for the turbo 2 ecus (n332 ,n333 )but ive heard that the all n33 ecus wire the same so will the rtek 2 wire up to the n338 vert ecu? Just a question i was wondering and thinking if anone tried.

In the past chips made for the N33X series (like the knightspeed and others) have not worked in the N338.

I would be doubtful that their single chip set up could be made to work in the dual chip N338, but call them and see

Our mods only work on the N332/333.
The NA mod will be based off the N326.

I don't see any calls from AZ, you sure you are calling the right number?

If your running the NA MAP sensor, injectors and AFM, then your best bet
would be to run the stock N338 while your NA. If your running TII injectors,
boost sensor and AFM then your better off with an Rtek 2.0'd N332/3. In
other words, the ECU, boost (MAP) sensor and AFM should be a matched
set. Depending on how close to stock setup you'll have at the time, you
may need to make some small wiring changes. I'm sure the wiring diffs
have been covered in one of the na->turbo mega-threads.

btw. The N338 does not have dual maps, this is a myth. I haven't decoded the
entire N338 ECU yet (busy with S5 ECUs now but have gone far enough
to see this. Besides, think of it this way, what possible input would it use
to "decide" whether to operate as turbo or not.

******what possible input would it use

The same way the ECS systems work in aircraft to determine if the airplane is a single seater or a two seater. On the Sensor Controller there will be a wire, say pin 1 on the connector, that if it has a ground on it, it's a two seater and if there is no ground on that pin it's a single seater.

I know Nothing about that ECU but I saw that remark and had a answer for it. An example might be that the Turbo harness might have a wire that is grounded but the non turbo harness would have that same wire not grounded.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Just had a answer for the question. It's 99.9 percent most likely NOT the same with a RX-7.

LOL - better to be a smartass than a dumbass, I always say.

And here I always though the number of actual seats installed in the
plane made it a one seater or two seater (see comment above)

Anyways, that's kinda my point, there is no extra input to the ECU and
all the sensors have the same basic operating ranges.
