With the gearbox and ECU now imminent - I'm thinking I might do the hot side at the same time.

I'm no expert in this area - so please excuse my ignorance.  I'm currently around 500kw at the wheels (2.7L, T76, Trust manifold, Trust dump, External gate etc). 

I would like to make a little more power - but have it come on earlier.  is that possible?

So my question - what setup do I want hot side to complainant the 2.7L / Albins? 

I appreciate feedback and any recommendations.

Thanks D

Hello 600kw and epic response 

there is no questioning how mental EFR turbos are for response compared to what else is on the market 

Thanks mate .... Im looking into it.

Time for a update.

Sadly - trying to buy the best box money could buy has turned out to be another drama.  Still don't have all the items I need to install the box - this is now just ridiculous.  Going on 8 months - and cant install the box they sent me as items are missing from the package that I PAID for !

Linkage bar, adapter to fit shifter and strain gauge all MIA. Abducted by aliens it appears ..

I have sat silent and said nothing this whole time - patiently waiting .. and nothing has happened...

I am so over this Albins box - and parties involved.  

Question I put to my fellow SAU'ers is this.

I have a buyer for my Albins - I can just move this box on and forget about the whole nightmare of trying to own an Albins - and order a Samsonas.  I spoke with them yesterday - they were sympathetic to my situation and were keen to help - but I'm looking at 5 months wait (which for some reason doesn't even seem that bad considering how long I have waited for the Albins).

Let this be a lesson to anyone looking to buy a new sequential - don't make my mistake.  

Is really a shame what has become of this - you spend top dollar expecting the best product, service, etc - and just get nothing.  

What you think boys - wait it out - or f*ckem and move onto Samsonas?

Opinions?

Dan

That sucks man. Are you dealing with Albins direct or have you gone through a supplier ? Every man and their dog is running an Albins in the offroader buggies here and can't stress how good their parts support is.

Obviously I don't know their finer details, but personally I would stick with them as I personally can't make peace with dealing with overseas transmission supplier anymore and you might find yourself in a similar situation.

That said, have you considered the current Quaife sequential supplied by Tim at SVS in the UK if all goes to shit ? I'm not aware of anyone using one in Oz and could be another option ?

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
