no, emts (and others) mean, what ECU are you using to support the different injectors?

you cant just change injectors and expect the ECU to figure it out, you need to tell the ECU what injectors you have, if non-std 370cc

your options are

remap the stock ECU

get a piggyback ECU option

get a stand alone ECU

either will let you run larger injectors. with STD ECU and anything other than 370cc injectors your car will run like ass and it's a timebomb

im surprised the tuner didnt check or ask you or refuse to tune it with std ecu and different injectors

did you tell him it had non-std injectors? did he ask what ECU

or have you just failed to list it here?

there is nothing to figure out or nothing to do your head in.

it is a simple yes / no question.

if you have a remapped ecu, aftermarket ecu, piggyback

a) get it remapped / tuned again

if you have the standard ECU

a) remap the stock ECU

b) get a piggyback ECU option

c) get a stand alone ECU

or your last option

remove the aftermarket injectors

YOU

CANNOT

RUN

NON

STANDARD

INJECTORS

WITH

A

STANDARD

UN-MODIFIED (not remapped)

ECU

yeah you dont need 440cc injectors with std turbo

the std turbo will run out of efficiency before the stock injectors do

so sell them and spend the money you get back on a piggy back or ECU remap

the piggyback or ECU remap will add a bucket load more average power everywhere and make the car heaps quicker

you should peak 200rwkw with those mods + ECU remap or piggyback

but the average power will be up heaps more over the std ECU and boost controller

plus youll have to avoid the factory boost R&R around 10psi so its a crap setup even if you just ditch the injectors and tune it

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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
