Hey forum just wondering if it is possible to see boost spikes of like 18 psi running through a stock 95 gtst only mods air filter iridium race plugs gapped at o.7 and a boost controller tuned to 12psi lo and 15 psi high. Now it doesnt hold the 18 psi for long cause the boost controller overboost setting kicks in at 16 psi and limits the boost to 10 psi but when looking at the peast boost made it reads 18 psi is that possible.

15psi on the stock turbo? stock ecu as well?

personally i would f**k that shit boost controller youve got and get something that will hold the boost better. even the $30 one of ebay would do a better job than whatever youve got... ive got one and holds 11psi absolutly perfect.

also 15psi on stock turbo is gunna shag it, sooner rather than later, after 12psi they lose the efficiency anyway and it just gunna go on you. personally id set it to like 8psi min, 11 max. i had a turbosmart dual stage boost cotroller on my r33 when i got it, held boost fine. its for sale if you wanna make an offer.

turbosmart bleed valve?

get rid of it, fork out the extra for an ebc.

Thats the funny part it is an ebc. The name on it is PIT bcu. With you guys ebc what did you have your settings tuned to like start boost when the wastegate begins to open, gain how quickly the gate opens 100% being the quickest, warn this is the setting you put it to so if it ever reaches thatthe limiter kicks in and limits the amount of boost you get. If your ebc isnt like that can you suggest some figures to try. Cause I am stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Yes stock turbo and ecu. It holds the boost until i get close to redline then when its at like say 5500 rpm or so it overboost and thats in all gears except fourth and 5th. neer noticed fourth but it might be doing it in that as well. Do I want the waste gate to open at a higher or lower boost setting for 11psi on a stock turbo if i begin to open it at say 5psi would that be better than 3psi?

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
