My car is N/a at the moment and im doing a full conversion shortly, im buying/sorting everything out now.

what im doing is getting a rb25det engine putting into the gts r33, buying some mods and a power fc...

ill be taking by car to unique auto sports for a dyno tune but i wanted to know

do i have to change my wiring loom to the gtst setup before they install the power fc?

or do they add there own wiring harness to my N/a loom?

wiring changes may be needed, the PFC assumes you have ECR33 RB25DET so whatever is different/missing on the loom the PFC wont know about

so check the wiring loom differences on RB25DE vs DET and make up what is missing. but the PFC is plug and play start first shot on a GTST

ok thanks mate, do u know where i could find the differences between the to?

and do u know somewhere i can find all the ecr33 power fc parts numbers, cause im about to pay for 1 and

i just want to make sure before i go ahead its the right 1,

the sticker reads " PFC ECR33 010- 1058"

this would work on a rb25det engine for an r33 wouldnt it?

yep the part # is correct

check my sig, the powerfc faq has everything you could ever possibly think of regarding the PFC

if its not in there, it either doesnt exist or no one cares bout it

part models and units are included in the faq

my site has the ECR33 wiring diagrams

from memory it shows you differecens between DE/DET

your site tell me this:

Second Generation is

###-XXXX

Where ### is the batch build number, so 000 or 010 or 020 (ie batch build 010)

XXXX is the unique item #

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so in your opinion does that part number i showed u sound like the right thing?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
