Hey guys, this is my first post here so i dont know weather or not its in the right section of the forums, i was directed here buy some of the boys from the calaisturbo forums. Anyways, heres my situation.

Currently i own a VL calais, running the standard NA RB30 Block. A mate of mine hit his skyline, so i asked him if i could get the topend of it, the cams, turbo, manifolds, all the lines, injectors, injector rail ect ect. So i pretty much have the whole top end.

Being a series 2 calais it has all the holes in the side of the block for the water lines ect ect....I just wanna know if anyone here has done a conversion similar to what im going to be doing, or has any info that can help me out. I wanna know if i can use the same wiring loom thats in my current vl, and what would be the best type of computer to use with my setup, because i was told i cant use the current NA computer.

Its a RB25 top end, twin cam, but im still not sure out of what model skyline it came out of, i saw the offer, and bought it last week for 1000$ including everything ive already mensioned. Now i just wanna know weather or not i can use the same wiring loom, also what would be the best type of computer to buy for it, and where they can be purchased from and for roughly how much they go for, so if i find one im not getting ripped off.

Thanx to anyone that can help, all comments welcome aslong as there not stupid ones. BTW if this is in the wrong section, admins feel free to move it.

might want to have a look at the sticky on rb30det at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=15420

there is a good ol 59 pages there at the momment, i'm sure all your answers will be found in there. also give this thread a read http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=67624

:rofl:

Have a read of the PDF in my sig.

With regards to the ecu and wiring. Your best bet is to speak to the blokes who have done it on calaisturbo.

You may have to splice in a RB25DET ecu then eventually get a Powerfc, UNLESS straight up off the bat go for an aftermarket management like the wolf.

I would lean towards the wolf3d as feature wise they have all the goodies.

Microtech is ok but doesn't utilize o2 closed loop. O2 sensor to me is a big thing because it makes a noticable difference to fuel economy.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
