Tools Needed:

  • 4mm Allen Key for Valley Cover
  • Pliers for Blow By Hose's
  • 8mm Socket
  • 10mm Socket
  • 12mm Socket
  • 14mm Socket for Strut Tower Bar
  • Ratchet with short extension

Step 1:

Once Strut Tower bar is removed, Use a 4mm Allen Key to remove the 8 bolts from the Valley Cover. Then use pliers to move the clip down the hose of the blow by hose.

Step 2:

Then use a 8mm socket to remove the transistor earth cable, Once that is Done remove the Connector off the transistor unit.

Step 3:

Remove Valley Cover and Unplug Coil Harness Transistor Connector. Next Remove the 6 Coil Pack Connector.

Step 4:

Use a 10mm socket with short extension to remove the Coil Pack Harness Earth Cable

Step 5:

Remove the Intake Side Blow-By Hose and then Unplug Connector. Now you can remove the whole Coil Pack Harness.

Old OEM Harness Removed

Step 6:

Installing the Do-Luck Harness, There are 3 parts to this: The Harness, Earth Cable and Direct Power Feed with Extension Cable.

First sit the Do-Luck Harness in place and connect the harness earth cable and the Thick Blue Earth Cable to the same coil harness earth point. ( Behind Coil Pack Number 6 ).

Next there is a Connector on the end of the Do-Luck Harness this connects near the intake side blow-by hose.

Once that is done connect all the coil pack connector’s on.

Step 7:

Connect the Thick Blue Earth Cable anywhere in the engine bay. I connected mine near the ABS system.

Step 8:

Connecting the Direct Power Feed with Extension Cable. First Connect the Extension Cable to the end Coil Pack Harness once that is done connect the other end to the direct power feed unit.

Step 9

Connect the Direct Battery Feed Unit to the relay box as shown in the photo below and then connect the Direct Battery Feed Unit Earth to either one of theses Earth points shown in the photo below.

Now it all Connected Up double check that everything is connected and then reconnect all the transistor plugs and transistor earth point. Then reinstall Valley Cover and Tower Strut Bar.

Step 10:

Everything is DONE!! Start it up and take it for a spin.

Results:

When I started the car up the exhaust tone changed and then I gave it a few revs 3000- 4000 rpm and it wasn’t backfire anymore. Next I took it for a 15min drive up to 7000 rpm and it wasn’t backfiring under boost as it did sometimes.

More testing is required to see if it has removed the under 3000 rpm Miss problem and Backfiring under boost problem.

I will keep everyone posted on further result’s but so far I’m happy with the Result.

What's the performance difference between Do-luck and OEM ?

I see it says enhanced in the link - what does that mean - how ?

Never mind, Googled

Apparently uses thicker wire for better strength of signal/power (1.6x's thicker)

Coupled with the "direct wire" from battery (extra) improves voltage delivery.

Edited by Sinista32

Took the car out for more testing 70km trip and the backfire problem under boost is gone. The Under 3000rpm miss is still there but not as often.

My Setup:

  • Copper Core Spark Plugs 0.8 gap
  • Splitfire Coil Packs
  • Do-Luck Coil Harness

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
