Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a power fc that will work in a R32 gtst with a R33 gtr RB26 engine and and if there is still any available for this type of conversion ? .The reason that i ask is that im looking at buying or building such a set up.

afaik there is no power fc (btw power fc's are discontinued) that is designed specifically for what you seek....but I think that would be obvious. You can still install a power fc and custom fabricate the loom to make other things work if you wish. You'll probably have more luck in the FI section with this query.

microtech or something else would be better.

but ill guess the R33 GTR PFC would be better suited for this..

Yeah i thought that the obvious would be one to suit a 33gtr but wasnt sure on the loom side of things.I might be better of to go a motec or haltec, i dont like wolf they have a shitty cold start and (mircotech depending on which) one are ok, but thanks for the reply guys, oh and yeah i did know that power fc are discontinued but only on certain models.

Martin Donnon on HPI magazine did similar conversion before. He installed a RB26DETT onto a R33GTSt 4 doors with an automatic gearbox. He used my old R32GTR power fc for the car. I think they installed some sort of harness for the auto gearbox. Email HPI magazine for more info.

Should be no problem if you use the GTR loom. From what I have read the Power FC model number is the same for R32 & R33 GTRs and I have read R33 GTRs being tuned with R32 GTR computers (remappable).

If you need assistance wiring up the GTR loom just ask. I use the factory RB25 looms when transplanting into R32's to retain factory engine management functionality which allows the Power FC for the RB25 to be used. The same will apply here.

Cheers

Hey thanks for the info and help offered.Yeah i have read that about the GTR computer swap for the 33's, obviously the factory 33 computer isnt remappable.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha

      I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
