hi, i am currently getting my engine rebuilt and putting it back into my r32 gtr and need to know if i can put on a set of -7 turbos without changing anything else like ecu, injectors, fpr? the simple reason is i dont have the money to do any further mods at the minute and would like to get rid of the old turbos - the only other mods done to date are ported cast manifolds, cat back exhaust and pod filters

Nistune is the best ECU for what you need. Checkout their website.

yeah i've looked at it but was wondering will the car drive ok with the stock ecu if i leave the boost at factory level for now (the restrictor is still in place so 8/9 psi limit) so i can drive it around for a while before changing anything else

if you havent bought the -7 tubos yet, id swap em for the -9's; new design, more efficient and same response with a better top end.

A mate of mine has a racepace built motor with -5's running the stock ecu until he has enough money for an ECU and it was run on the dyno with safe AFR n Knocks etc.

But best tune asap to get your full potential, power fc is great as its plug n play

I agree, the -9 seems to be a more efficient turbo.

The stock ecu is quite capable of running with those turbos, the question is how much boost u want to run, because it will start to get a little lean in the low to midrange with increased boost levels.... a problem which can be helped a bit if u have an adj. fuel pressure reg. to bump up rail pressure a few psi.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
