I've wondered the same thing... In a month or so, I'm doing the big NA->+T conversion on my 33, and I'll be doing it all here at home. I'm putting in an eManage piggyback ECU and turbo injectors, and obviously manifolds and turbo, and I'm not sure if it will be safe to drive it to the tuners (about 10 minutes away) or should I hire a trailer?

if you have or can get you hands on the emanage tuning software there is an option in there where you say what size you old injectors were and what size the new ones are, then it automatically scales down the injector outputs for you. this would be ok till you get to the tuners, just remember to let them know what you have done.

otherwise it will just be running really rich. you'll just have to see how it runs, better to be rich than lean. you may foul the sparky plugs on the way to the tuners if its too rich.

Yeah I've got the software and cable and everything, no issues there. I haven't played around with anything yet (obviously, it's still all sitting in my garage!) but I'll give the tuner a call and he can probably step me through getting it working safe enough to drive down to see him.

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
