Hi guys,

I've got a '95 R33 GTS-4 currently at the workshop having new motor from Series 1 Stagea put in, however the stagea motor was from an automatic...

Talking to the mechanics there are a few plugs missing from the stagea loom compared to my GTS4 one for ABS, Wipers etc...

Does anyone know if I'd be able to run a engine loom from a manual R33 Series 2 GTST??

Cheers

Dan

Yes S1 stagea has what you would call series 2 RB25DET so coils at least will be different. You will need to upgrade the ecu as you suggested - I don't think you will need to change the loom but if you get the loom, with it you may as well.

But don't use the Stagea loom and ecu - it is an oddball 3 row ecu and you will have problems if you want an aftermarket one later.

Thanks for all the info guys, I'm be putting in aftermarket computer to run it;

What are peoples recommendations I won't be going for big numbers, so would you recommend just a Nistune or Power FC...I've read a few threads saying not to get Greddy Emanage.

I'm just looking for budget at the moment as I just got back from an expensive holiday can always upgrade later.

Cheers :)

Tuner's choice man, there are are few threads on these forums with Nistune vs. PFC, I'd probably go PFC for R33 since they're quite cheap these days; most tuners are happy with them and they are the easiest to install without losing vct or modifying loom for Z32.

I have a Nistune on my R34, they will both make the same power at the end of the day.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
