adz_sportif_turbo Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 i am the proud owner of a sportif turbo... and in the process of completing the conversion!! inevitably I've ran into a few problems...but i hav got the engine running....and running sweet!! i got the car with the ecu wired in (not sure if fully correctly, but shees running) the rear glanza axle has been put in as well!! problems encountered are:-fuel pump doesnt work unless i bridge the diagnostic port-has oem lsd which i didnt know (found out when shafts didnt line up)...so need shafts and rear mount-engine management light on-dont think the fuel cut is wired correctly...wires to ecu jus hanging there!!-hks super drager exhaust doesnt line up with hangers-gear linkage braket wrong-oil light on very faintly...and becomes brighter when ran a bit. (personally think wiring fault)i think that is about it...i will post the link of sum pikkies so you get an idea of what she looks like!! if anyone has any ideas of solutions to these problems...please dont hesitate to give me a shout!!! i need al the help i can get!!cheers guys!!

adz_sportif_turbo Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 ahhh really!!! yes that would make sense also!!! are the connectors the same?? I've been abroad for the past 2 month so havnt been able 2 get my hands on it!! but i wil defo look at that!! cheers bud!! Quote
Russleh Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 well the oil pressure one is like a little metal spade connector and the one that goes to my coolant looks like a male plug but tis actually a female lol slips over the wee sensor bit/. Quote

200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 im doing mine now as well fuel pump... check you have a live feed to it, or it wont wind up.exhaust hangers.. easy to fix, take it to an exhaust place when its sorted, or get a welder to come out to you and sort it out.rest of the problems you just need to keep an eye out on the forums, post up in wanted sections, and try all the jap breakers.good luck with it dude Quote
adz_sportif_turbo Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 yhh i was gna chop the hangers and re weld themin the positions they needed....put them in the rubbers and match it up 2 the chassis, as for the fuel pump....my biggest worry :S!!!! ther is no power 2 the pump at all!! and ther is no relay clickin!! i need to know if the switched feed comes from the ecu....or jus an ignition feed?!?! it has a switched feed efi relay pin on the ecu....but when i look at wiring diagrams it looks like a feed comes from the ignition!! ne 1 help on that??

adz_sportif_turbo Posted September 20, 2009 Author Posted September 20, 2009 ahhh rite yeaa i fink im jus gona start again...and wire in my own!! im going 2 run an ignition feed to a relay for the electromagnet...and jus a normal constant feed on the other side of it!! that should be fine yea?? how a relay is normally wired!! how come you have ran it of an ignition feed but still put a switch in it jay?? for the novelty??
