Hey guys

Will it do any damage or cause any trouble if I put the SS1PU on without the nistune installed yet?

Trying to work out a way I can get the car to DVS without having to tow it up there.

I was thinking install the SS1PU and then get my brother to wire up a plug for my z32 so I can drive up with the stock AFM then just chuck the Z32 when I get there

how far are you going to be driving, isn't DVS a couple hours away?

It's very possible not to boost lol. If you want to install the turbo before you get it tuned then you don't boost it, simple.

On the stock ecu it will hardly boost before it hits r&r anyway.

I ran my ATR43G3 for a year without being tunned ran it on 7 psi and its ran great just laggy.

Loosen off the actuator so its sloppy comming on boost and you will be fine hitting up to 5 psi on stock tune

Possibly get a base tune by someone in Canberra and let the turbo run in, then go to DVS to get the tune tweaked?

If money is a factor, work out if it'll more $$$ to tow 4 hours or get a base tune here and drive up.

You will be fine. If the turbo is the only aftermarket thing you've got on there, it will be fine. 4 hours of tow truck.... gonna cost you. You can easily drive the full speed limits. Going up to his place is pretty easy, no pressure to floor it or go fast. Once you are on the free way cruise it there. Get all the prep work done before hand(as you are with the wiring) so when you get there and get to the dyno, minimal time is wasted dicking around.

I drove my car to my tuner about 20 minutes away first time. I had all my aftermarket parts in there except my injectors(didn't want to risk the wrong settings). It was running on the base tune with the z32 afm and it was fine. This drive was through start and stop traffic.

I can probably drive my car to the other side of australia at 110km/h without hitting any boost at all. Right foot, control and toot on. You won't hit 6psi unless you actually tried to. You'll be fine man trust me. You will get there faster than a tow truck will and you will have the money in your pocket to pay for the tune or pay for something else when the car isn't making the power it should.

Yeah he is at least 4 and a half hours away which is impossible not to boost

What kind of issues does it cause upgrading from stock turbo with the stock ecu.

Thanks guys

If you boost it you risk detonation, however what you can do is leave the wastegate actuator off so you literally can't boost more than 1-2psi by redline, do this.

ive been driving with my gtx3076 and stockish tune, cant do more than 2-3psi without the engine light coming on, you should be able to baby it around no probs

just change gear at 2500rpm with not much throttle, mine still keeps up with traffic even off boost, just shift up quickly and your fine.

taking the actuator off will make it sound very loud and drive like a dog, atleast thats what happened with mine.:whistling:

The turbo it self acts like a muffler of some sort, bypassing the turbine the exhaust goes through the open wastegate, it will be louder. It will run like arse, but its foolproof and safe if you are worried about foot control.

    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.
    • Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
    • Nice ride, hard to find these days!
    • Full e85 barrell stuff real world for reference if it helps as Ive pushed 2 x sets injectors to limit Above mentioned Bosch 1480cc run on 4 bar base to the apparent 1650cc on rb2.7 yielded 912hp / 684  kw  at 92% duty on hub dyno ID1700's - RB 2.8 ...1015hp / 760 kw at 87% duty - hubber dyno + shown off data on track my opinion IF you change injectors just go bigger than you think you need the modern/ good larger ones run just fine if tuned properly even if way bigger than required even on streeters
