hello just wondering i have an r33 gst-t and i wanna ask what things will i need to make it around 500 horse without nos! its 4 speed auto! I want to know whats the best ecu for the r33 apexi? and what size turbo for the price. i got 3 1/2 from turbo exhaust intrecooler apexi safc pod filter! thanks for your time and help.

(baically im a 17yr old kid and i dont have much money so if u could tell me whats cheap and what dear thankz (my email is [email protected]) :D

power fc will work but not safely and happily. the ecu wont deal with the autbox and assumes its manual. sydneykid has covered this heaps of times and the gearchanges are jerky and not safe/good for the auto box. that being said it wouldn't be impossible for 500hp. youd need all the usual bolt on stuff turbo, exhaust, intercooler, injetors, clutch, airflowmeter, fuel pump, ecu, tyres, brakes, suspension work, boost controller, clutch then youd also need to up the highstall for some fun, strength the auto box, transmission cooler and a very strong auto box. speak to your local auto mechanics place and ask them how much for an auto skyline box to handle 500hp see what they're reaction is, stacks of vl turbos probably get this power all the time and they probably use simiilar auto boxes, maybe powerglide or transbrake ?

having said all that and if you were to look at powerglide/transbrake why not change to manual, then you can get easy ecu options

curly_fry_44 i am looking around 400-450hp at the flywheel, cost me around $15,000 and i got labour for next to nothing through a mate. To get that figure from your car and do it through a performance shop you will be looking around $25,000

got 280 horsepower with a boost controller i am about to high flow the trubo which will let me run alot more boost im upgrading my gear box and getting nos plus i injectors upgrade suspeinsion and i should get around 430 with nos cost around the 5000 mark so yeah

You can get manual valve bodyed and trans braked Jatcos based on VL turbo autos that handle huge power and at 500hp you need one.

The firm shifts PFC and Wolf give autos has not hurt the autos even after many years and hard driving,Quicker changes can even help the auto as its like a shift kit and the bands -clutches lock faster making for less slip and heat.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
