Hi guys,

Just had a new engine fitted to the car and am now plugging in all the wiring. There are a few things i'm not sure where they go. Also the fuel line, not sure which is meant to be plugged into which spot.

I've attached some photo's which i've annotated so you can see what i need a hand with. It's a 650kb download.

I'd appreciate any help from those with the knowledge or who can look it up in their workshop manual!!! I think i should have bought one before starting this quest!!!

Thanks

Andrew

P.S. if this is a duplicate post it's cos the last one buggered up when submitting and wouldn't appear for me...

What do you open a rar file with?? what's the car, what's the motor

shite... sorry, i should have put that info in the first post.

Open a rar file with winrar. I have zipped it too for those that don't have winrar installed.

It's in an R33 Skyline GTST and it's an RB25DET.

Also any tips on setting up cam timing? I've got the cam belt with the white marks on them. I've set the crank to TDC (is that the 1st Red mark on the harmonic balancer) and the cams to their correct marks. Then i put the belt on with the white marks lining up with the notches on each cam gear. I think i have it all correct but would just like confirmation to make sure i don't go bending valves! How do i know if cylinder 1 is TDC and not on the top of the exhaust stroke?

Thanks

Andrew

Pic 1 if that socket is mounted on the crossmember under and behind the oil filter...the red wire goes to side nearest to the side of the engine bay.

Pic 2 & 3 the lead goes to the front post at the front inside corner of the relay box the earth goes to chasis rail directly undernieth , the 2 plugs are clipped onto the lower front of the relay box,

pic 4 The fuel line from the filter goes to the pipe which runs round to the rear of the fuel rail...it should be the top one. bottom pipe comes from the pressure equaliser at the front of the fuel rail

Pic 5 2 wiring sockets are clipped onto this bracket (Grey) 1 6 pin and 1 8 pin, the 8 pin socket is hanging in front of it

ok thanks... so for pic 5 they are just mounting points? i thought they might have been earth points but couldn't see anything to plug into it.

pic 1 goes to the unit just after the uni joint on the steering column. I'll check to see it it's mounted to the crossmember.

pic 2 and 3, i found those points just before reading this post. But i put the earth onto the back of the alternator where another earth of similar size is located. Should i move it to the chassis rail? (don't want any earth loops)

thanks for the tip on the fuel lines :P

Jaws - thanks heaps for the timing guide!

Also do you guys know which part of the wastegate goes to which bit of the boost controller? my little lables fell off!!! I've got a HKS wastegate which has a vacuum pipe on the top and another one on the side. I've got a Greddy ProfecB boost controller.

You are all champions... i love this forum!!! It's full of knowledge and helpful people!!!

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
