NEO Swapped R33 AC Help


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I want to thank you for any info in advance. I have searched the forum but need help finding the answer. I Have an R33 Gtst and swapped it to an RB25det NEO with NEO ECU. For the swap, I used a wringing specialties harness, and it has come together prefect only issue is the AC does not work now. I did keep all of the R33 AC components. I noticed that the R34 has a two-wire AC pressure switch, and the R33 has a four-AC wire pressure switch. Has anyone else done this or know the fix?

The R32 & R33 skylines have the refrig pressure switch in series with the power supply to pin9 on the Ecu. If you press the AC button the the Ecu earths this pin and the ac compressor switches on. If the refrig pressure is low it will open circuit this power supply to the Ecu and prevent the ac compressor from switching on and damaging the compressor. 
in the R34’s the refrigerant pressure switch is wired independently of the power supply to pin 14 (equivalent of pin 9 on R33) the controls the ac compressor operation. The refrigerant pressure switch provides a signal to the ecu at pin57 to tell it the refrigerant pressure is ok. Without a signal the ecu won’t Switch the ac compressor on. The plugnplay looms I have done in the past for this swap have included a small power feed to pin 57 to make the ecu think the refrigerant pressure is ok. I use the 5v power from pin48 through a couple of 2.2kohm resistors to drop the voltage to approx 2.6v.
The alternative to this is to install a switch in the cabin that simple earths the old pin9 to manually switch the ac compressor on.

Thank you for this information, I greatly appreciate it. When you drop the voltage on pin 48 to 2.6v are you connecting it to pin 57 Or does the voltage just need to be dropped inline to send the signal to the ECU ? Thank you again for your help.

    • Yeah, so I think that is the point. If you presume a 25% lower reading on a chassis dyno than what the engine is making, then the most you would see from a 720HP engine is ~550wHP. "Lose" a little more because AWD dyno and the number will be lower. Call a hub dyno "wheel HP" and you should see higher numbers. But the horses would be a different size. And as Murray says above - an imposed 90% DC limit drops 550 down to 500 straight away. 80% takes you down to ~450.
    • Sounds reasonable to me.  Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? I guess everyone has their own personal limit as to how high they want to flirt with 100% duty cycle, but who knows what your tuners limit is. Maybe they like to cap it at 80%? Now your injector CC to HP conversion has a 20% hair cut on it, then through drivetrain losses, yeah 500rwhp seems ok to me.  If you plan to spend on your GTR, modern injectors and a modern ECU will go a long way! 
    • @GTSBoythanks for replying. That's realistic and I always believed in the injector-hp rule of thumb. I am however making way less than that 😕 My guestimate/goal for the setup is a reliable 500rwhp, R33 gtr, seems realistic enough doesn't it?
    • 720cc injectors can only support about 720 engine HP. Maybe a little bit more. 600rwHP is, um, a plenty big chunk of that number. Probably running to the top of your fuel supply.
    • Hi gents, sincerely asking you guys the theoretical or actual power figures expected from the setup below: HKS Y pipes & 80mm cat back, Sard (denso) 720cc injectors, DW300 pump, R35 MAFs, Twin HKS 2530's (stock headers), Trust intercooler, stock BOV, stock intake plenum & TB's, N1 oil pump, MLS head gasket, forged pistons, poncam B's, Power FC, pump RON97, nismo coppermix twin plate, 18's on 265 rubber. So I've pretty much listed all that matters with regards to making and putting the power down. Asking as I may or may not be getting the full potential of my setup (bottom end was running 600rwhp on a different car). I have done numerous Dyno sessions with slightly different setups but more or less the same outcome which leads me to conclude (reluctantly) the setup is maxed out. Will share graphs but would like you to share your input first for better effect. Thanks in advance, guys!
