Hello,

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm about to finish the single turbo conversion on my R33 GTR motor, but not sure what to do with the two O2 sensors?

When going single do you splice all wires into one sensor?

Also what about MAF's? I picked up a PFC D-Jetro, and previous owner used two MAP's? I still need to pick up a MAP harness from Apexi but i'm curious does the harness plug into MAF wiring or gets spliced at another location?

Many tks!

Do you really need them?

A good tuner will be able to tune better than any effect the O2 sensors would have.

I've had them disabled on all cars/set-ups for the past 7 years.

the powerfc faq has a specific section on the djetro install, i suggest you check that out

from memory the djetro map sensor input wires run to the same afm input wires on the loom

but the map sensors steal power from the boost control kit port (from memory)

the powerfc faq in my sig has a link to a pdf which shows the diagram with the kit installed etc

the powerfc does an average from the sensors

so for map sensors you really should run two as apexi intended, installed in the corrrect location

dont guess, dont pick a random spot, read the install guide and follow it to spec

the 02 sensors again pfc uses an average and you really should run two as intended

either run two in the dump pipe of the single, or if thats too much ass (it sounds like a lot of ass)

then run one 02 sensor and parrallel up the signal wire and make sure under ETC, SENSOR 02 CHECK you have 02-1 and 02-2 with a working value

and if you insist on no 02 feedback then make sure you disable it under ETC, FUNCTION SELECT

I guess I wouldn't need, them there is nothing legal about this car so eliminating them I have no objections.

However, I was curious what is the most common method here being used? Do most people just splice one O2 into the other allowing them to use just one sensor?

I just bought a splitter harness for Apexi D-Jetro which plugs into maps it seems all plug and play no additional questions there :-)

    • I dunno. I just go off what I know works. On RB20, the idle switch meant something to the ECU and the potentiometer was ignored. In Nistune, with the switch unplugged, you could bridge the terminals in the loom connector and see IDLE come on and off. Not so by moving the pot. The R32 RB20 ECU and the 26 ECU both look like this. Sure there is the "throttle sensor" (pot) on pin 38, and also sure, the idle switch is also directly wired to the TCU, whereas the pot is only directly conected to the ECU. But I am sure that the throttle position from the pot is passed to the TCU across the data bus on pins 21, 22 & 31. Maybe the ECU likes to know throttle position, but it sure as hell doesn't use it to determine the idle condition. Meanwhile, on the later engines, like the 33 25DET and my Neo, you remove the TPS and move the pot to-from the 0.45V position, and IDLE comes and goes in Nistune. No throttle switch on the ECU diagram. Just the pot.
    • So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up  
    • Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
    • R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.
    • Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
