am after everyones opinions on running a D-Jetro,

currently have Rb26 forged internals, T04Z on 24Psi, 260 9.15 poncams, 044 sard 800cc etc

and am running a power fc with stock afmeters, seeing 416.9kw at the wheels

i want to get rid of the Afmeters as they are restricting the power.

can i just get the map sensors, loom and nipples and fit up and still keep my power fc that is in the car at the moment????

want to get my 10second pass, but want to get the best 10 second pass i can cause i only get 1 go at it.

if i get under a 10.9 they will more than likely not let me race again until roll cage etc.

all help and advice appreciated.

Cheers

Jez

covered in detail in the powerfc faq, its in my sig

have a read of it, covers pro's and con's of ljetro and djetro setup

no you cant just buy map's and splice them into your normal powerfc

and no they wont be a restriction, you will just be hitting the ceiling value for the current pair of afms. upgrade to larger will solve that

yeah man the only restriction would be the resolution of the 32 gtr AFM's if you upgrade them both to Z32's then there will be no difference.. if anything looking at your setup you got 2 x AFM's on the one 4" inlet on the turbo so your running at least 5" of flow for a 4" turbo or more

thanks fella's ill read the faq now,

yeah i was looking at the z32's but then i thought of getting rid of them, maybe an autronic, was just weighing up some options.

seems like z32's will be the go,

then i can put in some c16 and up the boost to about 28psi :( should see some good numbers

How do I hook up the D-Jetro Map Sensor Harness Kit?

There are various installation methods for the Djetro Map Sensor depending on the Car Model. For example Evo Lancer CT9A do not have to do anything as the car runs a factory Map Sensor. Skyline RB26 customers must splice twin Map sensor into the Airflow meter harness wiring. Nissan S15 customers must also manually splice a single Map Sensor into the harness. Below are instructions on how Skyline RB26 customers should connect up the Djetro kit.

It appears that D-jetro customers must splice the twin map sensors into the Boost Control Kit harness (or at least use the sme port) to extract positive and negative power.

The signal for each MAP sensor is then connected to Cylinders #3 and #4 based on the Apexi diagram below

is this only if you have the special power fc?

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
