Hello,

I'm currently building a 25/30 with a neo head. I have just bought a stagea

25 with coilpacks, injectors, manifolds etc.. But no loom.

I have a 33 wiring loom & ecu that I am going to use because I heard the

33 ecu is less restrictive than the 34..

Just wanted to know what wiring difficulties I will run into & what I will have

to do.

Cheers.

Big mistake - the R34 ecu is better because it can be Nistuned and will control the VCT. Although in my case it deosn't matter as i have a Link G4 in the original Stagea case and loom.

You need the loom that matches the externals and sensors, and they all go in the head. So pick on that matches your head (c34 stagea?)

Having said that, looms can be modified if required.

You really need to change the ECU when you change to a 3l bottom end because the airflow will be very different, so buy an ECU that fits into your engine loom (although again, the loom can be modified for a different ECU, and many ECUs are total wire in anyway)

You don't want to use a standard ecu so you need either an R34 ecu with a Nistune chip.... or you could probably fit a Link or Vipec into your R33 case and use the loom so long as you double check the pinouts but the R33 ecu itself is no good to you.

Most ECUs can deal with different AFMs so that's not a big deal.

Basically any tuneable ECU will be fine including Nistune, Power FC (I'm using this on mine), Link etc etc. The thing to watch out for cost wise is weather they have a plug in for the head (and loom) you have because wire in can be expensive.

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
