hey guys

just wondering. i just purchased a set of garrett 2860 -7's for my 33gtr and i will be using the stock ecu til i save up some more money. Question is.: would it run and be ok with 12 psi of boost with the stock ecu?

also how would it go with these mods for power. just want to keep it simple and mild.

internally stock gtr.

pfc ( soon)

cooler is bigger than stock 100mm thick+ hiflowed metalic cat

3 and 1/4 cat back + jjr front pipes

apexi pods

also can the stock gtr ecu be remapped?

thanks pplz :D

Anth.

I am not exactly sure but i would say it would be ok to drove it only if you treat it nicely, no thrashing as the ecu might have a fit. It probably wont run very well. Id stick with the pfc i know you can remap the gtst so i am sure you could do it to the gtr.

Try ringing a workshop if your not sure.

It can be remapped, but I believe it's a good idea to wait until you get the power FC anyway. That way you only need 1 retune. I mean, unless you're really nervous about one of your ceramic turbos... just wait IMO. Occasionally they get sold on here for 600-$1,000 sometimes with a commander etc. Keep an eye out.

Definitely go power fc; at least you will have a factory ECU spare for EPA

1500-1900 will get you the fc + handcontroller + tune

plus you can always add mods and have a quick dyno tune to get them to run optimally

it'll run fine.. -7s r like N1 turbos anyway

the comp will be fine.. im running -10s with my stock comp.. but only on 7psi lol but still!

and it runs it with 272deg cams in n out and plenty of other work... sure its been remapped b4 to run bigger turbos in japan, but they werent overly massive... just under 300kw on pretty much 16psi...

The stock comp remap allows u to stay legal somewhat... u could always argue its stock :P

yer stock fuel pump should be fine.. im still running the stock fuel pump n injectors.. although @ near 300awkw.. they were startin to run real lean... so im gonna need new injectors or atleast a nice hike in fuel pressure...

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
