Picked up a 33 four door shell a little while back and have been contemplating what engine to put in it. Had a ls1 at one stage then was going to build a 25 but then i decided i want to do something different. The hunt began and i picked up a manual barra 182 from a xr6 with loom ecu flywheel thermos fuse box for $240. Gearbox was stuffed so didnt take that but should be able to pick one up fairly cheap.

I am actually surprised with how the engine sits the mounts line up very well and the only major problems are the exhaust and power steering lines.

With an exhaust tune and maybe a set of cams im hoping to push 200kw and should be able to drift by the end of the year.

Needs turbo. Then it will be an absolute weapon.

Yeah ill see how she goes NA, can always pull it out and put a turbo motor in

      I mean technically you don't. And you don't need a wideband if your tune is good. But this is what I was getting at. It's really hard to tune something to that degree. Narrowbands are used to take a 'somewhat accurate map' into stoich, like a boost controller, and you're really just tuning how much 'work' it needs to do, with the aim of 'Better tune, Narrowband/Wideband has to compensate less' But anyone who has ever done something like tuned one day, then DARED to drive on a day where it's 5 degrees colder/warmer, or in a slightly hillier region, or slightly higher altitude will look at their tune and "If only there was some kind of device that could compensate on the fly and hit a target to account for...." And now you know why Narrowbands, Widebands, and things like MAF's exist.

      Maybe go log your voltage vs. RPM as you doodling around town. The issue could be your alternator is cactus which has been supplying fluctuating voltage to the rest of your car thus killing your pump early.

      Yeah, but maybe not. Maybe yeah. Maybe not. You know how it is. I mean, if the volts are low and the pump has reduced capacity, then it will maybe not be able to supply enough fuel to keep up with your peak demand, but it really shouldn't make it go lean as you're ramping up, then catch up again. The pump dynamics are (should be) a pretty instant trade off between flow rate and pressure, and even that shouldn't matter because it is actually the job of the fuel pressure regulator to take care of that dynamic, leaving the pump to see pretty much the same pressure and flow conditions any time the engine is running.

      One thing I do like about innovate is their ability to simulate a narrowband O2 output, great for deleting the OEM O2 and feeding that 0-1V simulated voltage back to the stock ECU. Great for PowerFC users, Nistune users that do not have the luxury of ingesting wideband 02 data. And before anyone says "yOu doN't nEEd O2 fEEdbACk iF yOUR tUNe is goOd" can GTFO.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The R32 ECU won't know why it is misfiring. This is likely to be a problem with the speedo drive cable. it could be broken and still driving, but lets go from time to time (which is unlikely, but possible). You could have damage at the plastic connector between it and the input to the speedo head. That's where mine broke. You could have gearbox oil creeping up the drive cable from a failed seal in the speedo drive at the gearbox. This is able to climb all the way up and gunk up the inside of the speedo. I had this too, and had to dismantle everything and very very gingerly clean the speedo out.
