hey guys sorry to hijack topic a bit but I have a similar problem and need help urgently!

i just put a s1 stagea motor into my s2 r33 gts4, originally it was NA. I plugged a factory r33 s2 gtst ecu in and it misfires and chokes badly after about 3000rpm.

Am I going to have to find a s1 stagea ecu?

N/A or turbo loom? Boost sensor fitted? Idles ok?

A lot has changed in 6 years, there are many more standalone options for the RB these days, most of which crap all over the old PFC.

Depending on where you are located keeping the de and slapping a turbo on it can get great results, if you are willing to run e85 as a fuel. Could save you a lot of headaches...

      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".

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      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?
