Currently looking to upgrade the turbo on the R33, as I already have the SAFC I was wondering if only tuning fuel and not timing would be a major issue with the new turbo? The far off goal is really only 250rwkw eventially with a PFC, but for know the budget will only allow the turbo, I already have a pump, FMIC etc... so I'm aiming for maybe 230rwkw for now, could it be done with the stock AFM and injectors or otherwise I could stretch the budget and get the Z32 AFM and I was thinking S15 injectors would be a cheaper option. So yeah opinions are welcomed but feedback from people who have been there and done that would be appreciated too, thanks.

Unfortunately as you are probably aware, the fuel/ignition relationship doesn't work very well, with a fuel bender and is defiantely the limiting factor in the power made. I wouldnt push the setup too hard, and consider the SAFC a bandaid which really needs to be fixed to get the most out of the supporting mods. Maybe have a look at the Greddy emanage Ultimate as another option, as its not as $$$$ as PFC's are getting

SAFC + SITC + Z32afm + Nismo FPR isnt too bad an option, as far as bandaid measures go

200rwkw from an auto is definately doable, so add a few rwkw more on for a manual

Ive got Deatschwerks 550cc injectors waiting to go in, but will be doing the remap option (in lieu of aftermarket ecu) when it comes time to put in the injectors, boost her up a little more, and tune (will keep the piggybacks for extra tuneability, I reckon).

I got 230rwkw out of my rb20 with an safc2, runs fine with good tuned afrs (its posted rb20 performace thread), I still get 500kms to a tank. Although im getting a remap and z32 though as the afm maxes out slightly on cold days. I think throwing some good timing in will sort out the small compresssor surge i get when slowly ramping up boost under load and the other advantages of more power quicker spool up etc..I have gtr injectors also.

so if i was to run a safc2+sitc would getting an r33 ecu remap aswell be advantageous?

they are a fair bit pricey though arent they? i would guess the costs of a remap would out weigh the benefits.

i ask because i am about to install safc2+sitc and run with standard turbo+injectors+afm and aim for around 200rwkw

then upgrade turbo and injectors for 250ish rwkw at this point ill probably need better management, perhaps an ecu remap.

i already have other supporting mods etc

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
