It involves doing a google search to start off.... then you may find some info that is already out there such as this... http://www.datfusion.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3&mode=threaded

or even another thread just like this where someone has already been flamed and provided with links... http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=467906

I have done this conversion a few times and recommend the following:

S14/15 OEM exhaust manifold

S14/15 OEM turbo + all elbows and intake snorkel

3" off the shelf TBE to suit your model

Brass T-piece for oil pressure switch from Pirtek

1M oil line to meet T and turbo from Pirtek

2 x banjo-bolt barbs for 5/8 water hose to suit turbo

3M 5/8 HIGH TEMP water hose and 4x hose clamps from turbo to throttle body

1 x turbo drain pipe and sump drilled in OEM blanked position to suit + hi temp oil resistant hose (roughly 40cm)

off the shelf FMIC kit to suit your model

any SR20DET injectors (from S13-S15) even RB25DET ones will work

Fuel pump

ECU remap

You will not need to change the AFM as the factory AFM is equal in capability to the DET AFM. You cannot use the DET ecu as it is a different harness and uses coilpacks etc (yet I have also done this conversion too)

Expect an easy 180rwkw that will be faster than your average 'bolt-on' SR20DET setup.

The above in an S13 has net me 0-100 in under 5s and 0-200 in under 13s, the torque from the added compression is valuable to say the least.

Alternatively you could spend $3500 on a halfcut then put a TBE, FMIC and make an average 160kw (unless you get something T28 powered or put one on).

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
