ok ive just spent the last few hours reading these forums on the pfc into a s1 stagea.

no one said "yes the R33 pfc worked with some hard wiring"

so did it work or did you guys find another to run a aftermarket ecu?

my stagea came into n.z with a f-con v but no one can tune them over here :(

so plz help.

I have a PFC in mine, but also have the manual conversion done to it.

I dont know what model PFC it is, but do know that they had to do some "creative" wireing to get it to work.

im in the middle of makin mine manual, i guess you can show me or tell me about this "creative" wireing

Nope, he cant, because the guy before him did the conversion.

What i was going to do was i bought an R33 GTST stock ecu with the plug, was going to cut the engine harness and replug it with the GTST plug. Then use a GTST PFC on the car and hardwire the atessa so that it got its inputs off parallel lines which the GTST outputs anyway.

so i take we (the stageas) dont have the same plug as any of the skyline ecu's?

sounds like wat your doing isnt a bad idea, do you have a wire diagram of the stagea harness? so i may do the same thing?

is there anyway of getting fotos of Ska ecu conversion? eg like the plugs etc? if thats cool wit ska?

Sorry I am bound by an agreement with Mercury Motorsports (http://www.mercurymotorsport.com.au/) not to give out the model (which I dont know anyway) or how they wired it in, (which I have no idea either as it was all done before I bought it).

Funny thing is for MM that just because they know the model, doesnt mean shit to me.

Its not like everyone else but them is stupid. If one place can work it out, another can too.

My option for me sounded the most logical.

I am sure that someone who reads japanese could spend 10 minutes searching the web or make a few phone calls to see what they do over there.

gzzmos, yes, i have a wire diagram but its at funky money's house....and has been for the last few months! (aka, we are all waiting on CD's from him)

its a custom made plenum made by rips. and its just the 26 rocker covers and i havent got a 26 cam cover yet, but i should leave a few 260s for dead... as long as i can get a good ecu lol.

ive just ordered a pin out layout on the stagea ecu so it'll speed up the process so when i get i could send a pdf copy if you need it?

i was thinking it might help in makin a loom for the r33 pfc so u'll know where everything should line up. and it'll be in english too :D

hey gzzmos nice ride, and engine bay. just a little thing i noticed is that power steering resoviour (sp?) wont last long sitting next to the turbo i'd imagine. i mounted mine next the the passenger side headlight and next to the air con gas canister thing. besides that it looks mint. what turbo is it? gt35?

with the wiring, my engine harness contained alot more wires than just engine stuff, like passenger side fender indicator, abs plugs, and a couple of other things.

unfortunately mine was chopped by someone else so i didnt take notice of what all the extra chopped wires are from i now have hanging around :) mines an autronics, and the attessa is wired up also which i can tell people the correct wires to use, but only once i test it and make sure 4wd is working correctly :thumbsup:

good luck

yeah the p/s is getting moved, it was put together quickly to get it to a show.

the turbo is a gt3540 .70 front and .82 rear now im doin the internals (dont know what im putin in yet lol) and doin a manual conversion at the same time.

at the moment the kar runs that standard computer for the auto, and a hks f-con for the motor but no one can tune it over here :)

and really want a good ecu now (and a tuneable one) to run everything.

current mods are;

rips plenum

gt3540

apexi cams (intake & exhuast)

apexi exhuast

hks 740 cc injectors

tial wastegate

hks exhuast cam gear

custom exhuast manifold

hks fuel reg

oil cooler

catch can

600x300x76 i/c

2.5" i/c pipe

greddy type rs bov

greddy type s boost controller

apexi afc

thats all i can think of at the moment. im only wantin 400hp at the wheels but makin sure i dont stress anything to much..

Nice engine bay gzzmos!

The first thing I noticed was the RB26 cam covers, but I knew there was something missing, so was wondering if it actually was a 26.

Then I noticed the high-mount turbo, and the size, and the, ummm, "filter," then I noticed how close your power steering reservior was and I though: "Hmmm, that's not going to last long after some heat exposure!"

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
