Hey guys, as we all know with performance upgrades comes dilemmas! My mechanic will be fitting the 550cc injectors, highflow turbo, nismo fuel pump and FMIC. However my tuner is 20min drive away and need to get the car to him to fit and tune the ECU.

Will my car fire up and be “drivable” for about 20kms with the factory ECU?

Regards,

Hi Sarkis,

I had fuel pump, FMIC and Highflow all running on stock ECU, i'm unsure of the injectors though as i installed PFC and injectors at the same time.

What aftermarket ECU have you got?

IF you got pfc then just program your injectors by using the hand controller and then drive to the tuner.. that's what i did.

Yea might just do that.. however the tuner wants $200 to fit the injectors

Im still tossing up between PFC (cant find them under $1200) or a Haltech (recommended by my tuner) he also tunes PFC but he cant get them anymore...

Cheers

I have never changed injectors before so i wouldn't know where to start... since ill be using a Nismo pump and injectors, if i cand get my hands on a PFC i can take my time and do it all at home and then adjust the injectors so i can drive it there... ill see how i go... cant find a PFC anywhere...

Cheers

Yea but the PFC is hard to come by these days... EMS or Haltech ECU comes with slightly more options as well as no need for an AFM...

Ill be visiting a few workshops in early Jan and see what they recommend...

I have the Injectors, Fuel Pump and FMIC sorted just need to decide on turbo and ECU... hopfully will see 260+rw/kw

Have a great New Years Eve guys... Keep Safe

No he didnt say 3hrs, he told be he could do it for $200 but would rather someone else to do it... he specilises in ECU installs and tune... He is no tool let me assure you... he has some of the most powerful cars coming off his dyno inc BU5TER

He knows his work very well and would highly recommend J.E.M (Adam)

Cheers

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
