N12 Turbo Forums

There are several parts of this series that are stupid IMHO. Fuel economy. Im sorry, this is a motor race, not an economy run. Give them a small fuel tank to ensure several pitstops. Specifying fuel consumption is preposterous. Energy recovery and so-on.. Im sorry, these are racing cars. Not test be...

A very strange issue reared its head with a short hesitation, kinda like a quick lift of the throttle and back on again....... I thought I might have had a wiring issues with the fuel pump or perhaps a failing fuel pump as the problem reduced when i filled the low tank. While it was playing up, i to...

Well, I have done an efi turbo conversion to the old GX. It needs to be said straight up that it is NOT worth the time and money converting a carb engine to EFI UNLESS you have all the stuff you need just laying around. its time consuming and the hidden costs hurt when you add them up For example, j...

There are no "sensors" on the log.

Injector Plugs. if the pinouts are different then yes you do. Id just extract the pins out of the plastic plug and move them to where they need to go. Yes, just write it all down is the easiest way. Every screen!! Its painful but worth the bother. Be sure that the new ECU is off a similar Nissan tho...

MT looms can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 wires from the ignition outputs plus a dissie/tach wire.
The outputs are in the old ECU, they are just not configged by microtech UNLESS it was originally specced when the ECU was first bought.

Connect away.

I gave up on the stock speed sensor. Perhaps its a case of almost 30 years and a couple of hundred thousand K's........ So, after a little research I came up with an elegantly simple solution, this: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1920016_10202671280395746_1687614883_n.jpg ...

Up to you m8 but if it were mine, Id stay with a proven and popular setup.

The clutch switch works well and basic launch control works fine. I set it at 3000 just to play with. This will also enable flat shifting as well so no need to lift the throttle during hard gear changes. Next was a good launch anti-lag. This setup requires a working speed sensor so the launch functi...

So, sanity checks, double checks and idiot checks done i put some power to the system and all looks good. The engine has been sitting upside down for quite some time and gives a big cloud of smoke and soon settles into its characteristic hard idle!!! Once all hot and cooling system bled out time to ...

Id rule out the E15et clutch. At 200mm its pretty small. Big money for something suitable in a such a small single plate.

Your best bet is to stick with the transmission that the CA bolts to. Everything bolts up, stays nice and stock and there is a world of aftermarket for CA's.

More progress today. I was very lucky that i was just able to get to the shifter setup out of the old shell!! Yay So that installed and the last of the mechanicals, like exhaust and so-n are added. What at first appears a simple and straightforward engine changeover is taking a lot of time as there ...

I also fitted up my new tough rear engine mount. The stock engine mount has a habt of sagging down, breaking and generally allowing the engine to float about too much for my liking. Many gearshifting hassle originate from the back mount problems. I was very reluctant to make a solid mount that many ...

So i got a little busy today. I moved the old damaged GX off the hoist (finally)and onto the old farm trailer. I still have to remove the doors and the hatch and some sundry interior parts yet. Ill take it down to the dead Pullstart cemetary down behind the dam and later on taken to the crushers. It...

LOL
