Hey All,

I have a question regarding my series 1 r33 Gtst. At the moment It is running a factory ecu with stock injectors (both which I plan to upgrade within the month)
The car is fitted with a HKS GTRS turbo and alot of other HKS gear. When it had a haltech ecu and HKS 740 cc injectors the car was pushing out about 270kw on a safe 13psi.

However now that the ECU and injectors have been removed, the boost has been cutting at about 5000 - 6000 revs.
Now my question is, I want to take my car out to the track next weekend and really give it a good drive. Would I be putting the engine at a big risk??
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, im a bit of an amateur but trying to learn!

Thanks!

What do you mean by "the boost had been cutting"? If you mean the ecu has been cutting power, then simply wind the boost down a bit more and it should stop doing it.

Other than that, it should be fine to take to the track. The stock ecu has a safer tune than an aftermarket ecu

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • 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!
