Ok.....my car has just been into the garage and I have been told that the turbo is (a jap piece of shit) anyway he says the waste gate ain't opening properly. Now the turbo was fine on the old engine, but after I swapped them out, it's coughing and spluttering. Realising that the old engine wasn't standard, and I need new parts, I was wondering if someone could give me a shopping list on what's required and best place to get them.

High flow injectors

Coil pack

New ecu (because that ones buggered apparently)

Turbo if I can find one.

Anything else?

Any help would be awesome cheers.

If the wastegate isn't opening then I'd find out if it is just fouling on the dump pipe, or whether it's actually dead.

For the turbo you could either get your one rebuilt or buy a used one. There's probably someone selling one in the for sale section

As for injectors, what size are you after? Just stock ones?

What about ecu? Just stock? It's odd for an ecu to die, but if it is, and you just want a stock one, either try the for sale section of the forum or an import wreckers or even ebay.

For coils, you could either get genuine ones from nissan, or yellow jackets or splitfires. Both of those are available online, probably even from traders advertising on the forum in the traders section. That goes for most of the things you are after actually.

    • Each province differs a bit but we only do mandatory vehicle inspections here for heavy vehicles (Think Ford F350 and up). Those inspections are done by mechanics that are approved by the government. Besides that, it's a free for all as long as the car looks stock.  I asked because I love seeing how engineering differs from country to country. Here in Canada, all designs must be stamped and signed before they can be brought to fruition. (I.E Bridges, structures, Electrical panels, machines, literally everything shy of a wooden table) This can only be done by a professional engineer or professional engineering technologist. Both are protected titles, but the latter having more of a limited scope in what they can stamp. To become a professional engineer, you must complete a 4-5 year bachelors degree in your field of engineering, be part of an engineering order and undergo 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and mandatory continues education. Same story for engineering technologists, but a 3 year associates degree in some form of engineering technology will suffice. If you do not comply, or pretend you're an engineer or technologist, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails, off to jail you go. If you stamp a design that fails and kills someone (I.E Bridge collapse) Off to jail you go for a very long time, your family will be ridiculed on the news, neighbours will surround your home with pitch forks and your dog will disown you.  Same for specialised trades... Example Electricians must undergo 1.5 years of post high school education, 4 years of apprenticeship, testing and hold proper licences. It's for the best, but then we also wonder why we're so short on engineers and tradesmen haha
    • Not currently, I'm at the school where we teach people to build bridges and other fun things that involve making, or breaking things
    • I have a friend who has used Chequered Tuning and CMS. Went to CMS when Chequered had a long wait time which is kind of the norm (for good reason). Was very happy - I'm pretty sure the very simple thing you're asking will be simple.
    • lol that caught up a year quickly! good to see you on the track again, hoping to do it myself one day
    • Nah he was mega organised, the sort of guy that put (almost) every tool back every day, it made trying to work out where things were up to possible.  My shed needs a swedish death clean, I would have >20 part done jobs, its particularly hard to collect all required parts for a job ahead of time when you can't just pop into a shop and grab things
