R32 GTR (USA-Alabama) KG1 1990


Recommended Posts

Mid-Week Update:

Attack the issue with the oil cooler lines and fittings. It now has the correct size AN fittings and all new black hoses. New mounting brackets on the oil cooler also adde d. The oil cooler will be mounted behind the intercooler and parallel with the car. Pics to come soon!

To add a little more to the upgrades I asked to have the "Twin Turbo" Divider Mod to be done.

A lot of progress has been made on the build and here's an update:

The motor is back in the car and running flawlessly. No more oil leaks and compression checks across the board are amazing!

Wrinkle Black Paint really makes this look great!

Radium rail installed w/ stock injectors. Will place the new injectors in once we get the ECU Plug n' Play Harness.

I love just admiring the new look on the intake side of the bay. Aeromotive FPR w/ pressure gauge. The  FlexFuel Sensor is also mounted on the strut tower. The Aeromotive fuel filter is the only thing not in the bay. It is under the car with the fuel lines.

This is the current ride height on the MeisterR ZetaCRD. Havent got a chance to drive so no review on the stiffness/comfort just yet.

Definitely gonna have to roll the rears with this setup.

Things Left:

Swap over 1000cc injectors and PnP clips 

Delete MAFS (Turbo intake pipes 3" w/ compact filters wrinkle black)

Custom oil catch can behind battery made by Go-Autoworks. (http://go-autoworks.com/)

Order GM IAT sensor + use M12x1.5 to 3/8 male/female adapter

Install ECUMasters ecu, wire subharness (Wire in Wideband)

Tune Session Pump to E85. Gonna pull the 4WD fuse and see what it's capable of. Will update with more photos as they come in.

Nice build. Should be a nice little combo when done

there's a IAT sensor that bolts into the stock position and sticks out farther, with the faster response/open tip that i belive NZefi and Kudos motorsport has started selling, would recommend that for ease of install/neatness.

Im currently using NZefi's GTR Injector Resistor Delete at the moment so I will check this out and see. Thanks for the info!

Quick update and just a visual of the build thus far...

So all the parts for the build have been ordered and on hand at the moment. My battery was constantly weak and we came to realize once there's a ton of random harnesses that are not being used. So to clean it all up Zack is going in there and getting rid of the unnecessary wires. Getting the seats done in perforated leather where the darker blue is on the seat and perforated Suede in the middle. Have suede e-brake and shift boot and will be covering the back seat with black carpet to match! Hope you're enjoying it so far!

Quick Update:

Custom Catch can installed to the right of the radiator.

1000cc injectors dropped in and idle set up.

Bought an AEM IAT sensor and moved it to the intake piping next to BOV. 

Installed the seats back into the car (Need to install the Shift/E-Brake Suede Boots)

Car should be with the tuner before the month is out. Gonna do the pump gas then e85. Dyno and road tune for drive-ability. 

Jun Style front lip installed and fenders pulled and rolled. 

Also, got the old Optima Yellow Top battery out of their for a more suitable choice.931631418_12Jan2019.jpg.95caf0dd2ff57501b3d435d72f7baf69.jpg

Pulled the car out of the shop for the first time in Months!!1943842887_OutsideMLK.thumb.png.218e58d5bd06f7ab5be695d9a1feb406.png

This is where we're at so far.
Quickly got the bumper and hood mounted back on Friday (January 18th) as the tuner called and was available to start on the pump gas tune. He picked it up that afternoon and worked on the tune and boost controller on the pump gas settings. Only 2 things came up.
  1. The power steering belt shredded for whatever reason (thinking just age). It has been replaced and all is well.
  2.  Lower charge pipe blew off at high boost/rpm... it may have not been tightened all the way after adding the bung, then swapping to wiring the bung. It's been reinstalled and all is well.

I was then informed Sunday (January 20th) that the tuner will be going out of town until the 4th. At that point I told him to bring me the car back so I can get the alarm taken care of instead of it just sitting idle. Got another Viper 5706v Two-Way Alarm to get put in since it was removed with all the harnesses that were tapped in the wires. 

So, all that should be left is the gas swap and E85 dyno time.

 
I was sent a breakdown of the tuning bill so far.
 
This is what the tuner was able to accomplish thus fur:

3 hours tuning AFR and boost controller 
2 hours of ECU tuning AFR and accel tables.
 
Now, I have to wait until he is back AND have the time to get it on the dyno and tuned... Almost at the finish line!

Hey man, I've been following this since you first posted last June. I'm enjoying the way it's coming together for you and really looking forward to your opinions of both the ECU and the MeisterRs.

 

 

P.S. I'm just up the road.

The ECUMaster EMU Black has been a great product, but the customer service was not the best initially. I was on "backorder" which turned out to be a lazy employee who was procrastinating on making the RB26 plug N play harnesses. Once the harness was made, I was sent a SR20 pin out instead of RB26. Once that debacle was handled, there wasn't any issues as far as the product itself. They terminated the guy who had me on backorder for 2 months, but the motor was out of the car at that moment so i wasn't too upset. The tuner has no issues with tuning it and once we had the right pin out the systems on the car work flawlessly. I have to get back to you on the MeisterRs after I get it back and get a few weeks of behind the wheel time.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
