Id be happy with 280. How much boost could i run on stock fuel system and ecu til i gaet it all sorted?
Nope, thats why ill get it going on say 7psi now, then buy pump , injectors etc. Any more advice or info to help me along?
It seems you have missed the OP's topic all together.

He is asking what else is needed once he has this turbo bolted on, and what he can do with it in the meantime. I dont see an issue, chill.

i am "chill" bro it clearly says in these quotes that he wants to run it on stock injectors and ecu. so maybe u missed the point buddy

You are spot on scott, thanks for understanding. I dont care if its slow for a while... it is a heavy wagon and slow now anyway.

then do it all properly and then when its done it will be a f**king animal.

You're still forming your own opinion on what he's GOING to do, rather than what he has said he will do.

He wants to put it on now, and then grab the other supporting mods. He asked (and might I add, YOU QUOTED) how much boost he could safely run with this turbo until he has the rest of the mods.

Stop telling him what you think he SHOULD do, and answer his question on what he CAN do.

Since you ask, yes it is a bad idea. Even with just 245 awkw my Stagea handled so much better on a twisty hill climb in the rain than the 2wd V8s around (as in behind) me.

But if you want to hang the tail out and burn rubber by all means rip out the awd (but why didn't you buy a 2wd version or a Commodore?).

I was hoping it will transform the car, its pretty sad when i have a swb pajero i put injection and turbo on thats faster than the stagea...

TBH dude, keep it simple and easy, go with a highflowed stock turbo. Bolt it on with a full exhaust, Nistune the stock ECU and enjoy it.

It's never going to be a Skyline though and it barely compares to my 32 but, for a >1600kg practical daily driver, it is phenominal :D

Nistune will definitely be suitable, you will need a Z32 afm though and a decent fuel pump (read: Bosch).

Edit: actually, give me more info about your stag (year, model, manual/auto, etc) as not all of them can be Nistuned easily.

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
