Hi I've got an r33 gtst s2. I have done a fue mods to my care from suspension breaks through to the engine which is where I need help. I have upgraded the coil packs, inter cooler, pod, turbo timer electronic boost controller and a new upgrade turbo to the car. I'm wondering if I should now do the computer and if so what to go for. My budget is limited as I've blown the bank ont the rest of the mods any ideas. I've tried doing a tone of research but keep coming up with all different things

This has been covered a bazillion times and I should tell you to search and/or read the stickies. Nevertheless....

Easiest is to buy a PowerFC. Next easiest is to get a Z32 ECU modded with Nistune to suit R33. After that there are various aftermarket ECUs that come in plug in form.

If you really want to bump the power you're going to run out of injector and AFM capacity, so you'd need to upgrade those. AFM only needed with PowerFC and Nistune, otherwise you convert to MAP sensing.

You need ay least $1500 to start this exercise. Got to buy the ECU, get it fitted and tuned. Injectors and AFM upgrades will cost more than another grand, and you will want to upgrade the fuel pump probably even before you have to do those (old std fuel pumps are just waiting to diw and kill your engine, especially when you wind up the boost).

For budget, contact Toshiba on this forum. He will be able to do a mail order remap for your mods at cheap price.

Username = toshi (unless he's changed it). You'd still want to do a dyno run after just to make sure it doesnt ping. Toshi has to make his remaps on the assumption that all the components in your car are working normally, if they're not you may find that while it wasn't a problem with the super conservative factory tune, it is a problem with the remap. Also, the remap tune can never be as good as a proper dyno tune, however, it will be way better than the factory tune.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
