I usually laugh at people who post in these threads but her i am with nothing better to do right now.

I always loved cefiros way before i even got my L's so i eventually i ended up buying one and loved it!..... and about 18 months later it made friends with a rock wall.:(

That evening i went on SAU and found this shell, went and had a look at it the next day, and i picked it up that weekend :woot:

I stripped the shit out of my old car.

Transfered my Apexi N1 coilovers, OS Geiken 2-way LSD, Adjustable arms, R33 GTR wheels, R33 Brakes and 5 stud conversion, strut braces, gtr seats, fuel pump, nardi steering wheel, etc.

A few weeks later i scrapped the old ceffy and pushed the new one into the garage.

My origninal plan with the old car was to drop a rb25 into it but unfortunately i was stupid and hit a rockwall.

So istead of dropping the rb20 in. I bought this!

Standard series one RB25det motor, loom, ecu.

Installed yellowjacket coils, gates racing timing belt, adjustable exhaust cam gear, new waterpump and sprayed the rocker covers ford racing blue.

I then stumbled upon this!

Garret GT3076R 0.82 rear, HKS low manifold, Tial 38mm gate, braided lines with speedflow fittings.

Installed on motor after hacking the engine mount up a little.

Dropped motor in engine bay.

Atempted to fit front mount and cooler piping, but it just didnt want to fit so i bought another intercooler kit.

Yeah nice mate, looked tough before the wall... Im a fan of non kitted ceffys personally.. The new replaement does look good though.

Quick question, with ya old one i noticed the rear of your bonnet was raised abit for extra cooling, how did you do it, is there anything you need to buy or do or is it just extra washes underneath it to prop it up..??

Piece of piss. As many washers as you desire and longer bolts going into the hinges

Engine bay coming tegether. Installed new cooler piping, reused old radiator, hooked up power steering lines, fuel system.

Reused RB25 gearbox and modified tailshaft. All fits nicely. Had lots of fun lifting that baby in. Brought back memories of the first time...but lets not go there.

And yes i do intend on doing something about my cracked fan shroud.

Some more photos with the new fmic and front bar test fitted.

Bad news. When drilling into the back of my inlet manifold i dont think i held the drill straight because i tapped and fiited a speed flow fitting for the turbo return line, pressure tested the cooling system and it leaks.

Good news. best excuse the buy a genuine greddy forward facing plenum!

Waiting on plenum from japan.

Been pretty lazy and trying to get motivated but heres some photos of my new Work Emotion XD9 17x9.5 +28 wheels. I have found true love now haha. All that remains now to get it running is wiring. Then i'll be whacking my injectors, z32 afm, and computer in to get it dyno'd. Pretty exciting..

Oh and i have a photo of my engine bay with the greddy plenum all fitted.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
