hey guys, im looking at buying a new ecu and turbo, first question I have is, is there anything else I need to look at upgrading or adding if im upgrading the turbo, second question is, what sort of ecu is recommended around these parts? Im not looking at going all out spending a fortune on the ecu, i just want something thats good value for money, its for a street car, so i would be looking at the lower end of the market, but also something that does a good job, does anyone have any recomendations? cheers

Where to start???

As far as the ECU is concerned, there are many types out there that do an excellent job. If you have a tuner in mind, go and speak to him to see which system he advises as some are more proficient in a particular brand and he may also tell you which is best for the turbo you settle on.

If you want good results, you will be paying for a decent ECU. If you want to go cheap, get your current ECU chipped or score yourself a piggy-back, like a Greddy e-Manage, SAFC or similar item.

If you're upgrading the turbo, I would advise at least an exhaust, intake, fuel pump, and FMIC.

Have a look here, it may help also:

Have you even looked at this website before?

I find it pretty hard to believe that there is no information on the following for an R33 GTSt...

1. Picking a garret turbo

2. Picking an ECU

Start with the turbo upgrade section that will give you an idea about what works well.

Really it comes down to what your tuner wants - talk to him.

Power FC, cheap and easy. Most guys have them

WOLF 3D V500 is better ECU, doesn't need z32 AFM's

Haltech is awesome

Motec is awesome

Microtec is ok

when you look at what the wolf can do, i'd say it's awesome. better then haltech and motec doesn't have much on it. but for the price i wouldn't consider motec unless your rolling in dosh

im looking at spending around 3k, for turbo, ecu. and if i need injetors, fuel pump etc, that needs to be factored into the 3k, i currently have a, fmic, pod, 3inch turbo back.

Good luck with that unless your going to buy my EMU after I get a Vipec.

You can do it for 3 grand, but you're going to end up with cheap Chinese knock off crap that I wouldn't even put on a lawnmower.

Save your bucks for a while man and get the good stuff.

You get what you pay for and the last thing you want to do is trash your engine and end up spending twice the amount that you skimped for repairs.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
