hi guys, i bought my 1996 s2 r33 about 6 months ago it came with an 3in exhaust and an adjustable GFB BOV.

im spraying the front and rear bar and making the interior a liitle nicer.

ive installed a r34 gtt smic boost guage and electronic boost controller.

now im getting serious about going faster....

im going to get a fmic kit that plumbs up to the original holes

z32 nistuned ecu on the way

and i want to put a better turbo bigger injecrors fuel pump and then dyno tune it all

the problem im having is im an electrician not a mechanic lol and this is my first turbo car .... im looking at either hi flowing the stock turbo ..(some one quoted me $2000..DREAM)

or getting an aftermarket one maybe a hks gtrs but i dunno i know anything about aftermarket turbos what will fit what wont sizes anything....

what has everyone else done?

Hey drew have. Look though the forced induction page in these forums.. Plenty of info on modding your car :)

You're on the right track with your mods but keep in mind the end goal.. Eg will 300hp suffice or do I want more later on? Planning will save you money.

Can i just ask why not just use a nistune board on the r33 rb25 ecu?

remember reading one of martin donnons editorials about stock ecu's, and how they are actually really quite a lot better than what they are given credit for.

just wondering what the point would be of tuning an ecu that is made for a completely different car and engine??

The rb25 ecu is not Nistune compatible for some reason you can use an rb20 ecu or Z32 but the z32 is the pick as it will still control the VCT

That is exactly why people use a nistune. The stock ecu is very good, within reason and its limits. The nistune takes the same functionality and gives it the ability to be fully tunable in an aftermarket sense. Otherwise you might aswell just get a power fc.

Completely different car and engine when comparing the R32 Rb20 and R33 Rb25 is a bit of a dramatic comparison.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
