180sx/ps13 Sr20det REDTOP ECU Pinout (kouki/type-x has a different pinout but the same connector)
http://browsebug.info/wp-content/upl...ecu-pinout.jpg
180sx redtop and blacktop straight cam (kouki) pinouts side by side. It is possible to swap some pins round on a kouki engine loom to use a chuki (redtop) ecu and these pinouts will help with that. If you're wanting to do this then you'll also need to earth out the Brown/Yellow wire from the Lambda sensor as the redtop is earthed but the kouki has an earth control from the ecu.
