I have an 94 ECR33 Skyline GTS-t and I am looking for advoce on power ups for it.

It already has a greddy manual boost controller (wound to 11psi), Greddy FM intercooler, 3.5 inch cat back HKS exhaust and a HKS pod filter.

I am thinkin next for:

Sard Fuel Press Reg

Sard 550cc Injectors

HKS 3037 Turbo (or Garrett equivalent)

Top mount turbo manifold ???

Front facing Intake plenum ???

Electronic boost controller ???

I would like some info on where I am able to buy these parts and if someone can advise me on which brands to choose for the manifolds and a boost controller.

Thanks,

Shaun.

Sard Fuel Press Reg- dont use one

Sard 550cc Injectors-Ive got 800cc gives me room in the future

HKS 3037 Turbo (or Garrett equivalent)- I went bigger (T04) which is a bit laggy but punches like Mike Tyson, the standard one high flowed is good though.

Top mount turbo manifold ???- Like mine but looks out there if you get pulled over and cops pop the hood.

Front facing Intake plenum ???- I got a Greedy knock off which is preforming well and much cheaper

Electronic boost controller ???-Profec B 2

I use a LINK ECU to control the thing

It all depends what you want the car to do, drags, circuit, daily or something of a all rounder which will be good at most things you throw at it.

Work out what you want your car for, then you can work out how much power is needed(over about 280kw needs forged internals if you want it to last) and what you need to get there and what is just wasting your money, but first do your brakes, quality tyres and suspension which is the most important factor of the build up.

S15 Spec R Injectors(480cc) - would easily support well over 300kw. And it would be cheaper then new sards.

Top mount mani - not necessary but would make a difference bigtime.

If running an internal gate then would pay to get a decent EBC as you def dont want creeping.

Imho - dont waste time modifying the factory plenum. I would take that money and spend it on a decent cluch.

Also you might need to upgrade coils then too(only if its breaking under boost). GL

Get a highflowed stock turbo eg a GCG or slide (depends how much cash you have) you mentioned the HKS turbo so you can afford the gcg. That way it looks stock and you don't have to modify as much. Also if you try and max the 3037 out I don't know how long your motor will last if its still got the original bearings etc. Keep the standard intake and get either a R34 sidemount of a FMIC.

I'd then organise some aftermarket ECU or some way to tune the setup, a clutch to handle the power and maybe a diff/rims if you are still running stock ones.

edit: oh yeah if you have stock suspension Id personally be fixing this, the clutch, diff, rims etc first before seeking more power.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
