• There is no need for wiring loom modifications. Nistune provides realtime tuning and maptracing. It provides the ability to make changes on the fly to the factory ECU and then the desired results are achieved, save these permanently in non-volatile memory on the programmable board.
Some Bosch ECUs will use star shaped screws which will require the appropriate tool such as pictured in order to remove the screws. These screw drivers are available in specialist electronics shops. Type 5 Hardware Installation Manual Page 3 of 15...
Jumpers which are to be cleaned are marked R10-R17 and R20-R27. Note that this only applies to some ECUs (see later in the document for details on the jumpers you will be moving). Type 5 Hardware Installation Manual Page 4 of 15...
Hold the ECU up to the light and check that all the holes are clear. If any holes still have solder in them do not try to clear them out using a drill bit! The boards are multi-layer and it is quite likely that an internal connection will be damaged. Type 5 Hardware Installation Manual Page 5 of 15...
Jumpers are used on the ECU to tell the microcontroller to read from either factory code (located in a memory chip on the ECU main board) or from the Nistune daughterboard. You will need to move the jumper on the ECU so that it will read from the Nistune board The easiest way to move the jumper is to melt the solder on both ends at once by using the de- soldering iron one end and soldering iron the other.
Notes: R20 = 102, R21 = 000, R22 = Open, R23 = Open, R24 = 102, R25 = 301, R26 = 000, R27 = Open Note that the Type 5 board requires all resistor positions R1-R8 on the board to be connected using solder (blob each position)
Move jumper R041 to R040 Remove jumper R700 Move resistors R010 - R017 from ECU to J1-J8 on the Nistune Type 5 board using a soldering iron and tweezers. Make sure both ends are soldered when putting on the Nistune board. Use flux to assist solder flow with the SMD resistors.

This is best done by sitting the rubber strip (sticky side up) on top of the Simtek chip which is in the middle of the board, and then carefully fitting the lid. Congratulations – you now have a fully tuneable ECU! Type 5 Hardware Installation Manual Page 11 of 15...
