My 33gtr has a electronic boost controller installed in it so today i decided i would up the boost from stock to around 12psi, just wanting to know how safe it is to run boost with a stock ecu and how much is stable with the stock turbos if it is safe to run.

i am running on 1bar...which is around the 14psi...that is da max (so called safe) boost you can hit on the turbo....but anything higher will blow the turbos very very quickly...other than that dont think there is anyother issues...car wouldn lean out due to the stock ecu...from what i have heard the stock ecu will adjust its fuel ratio according to the boost...unlike the aftermarket ecus...

pete..is stock really 11? i was pretty sure it was 7...

not really worried about the turbos if they go since they are only stock ones, but more wanting to know will it make my car run lean due to it not being tuned.

no. a tuned ecu actually runs leaner that a stock ecu as the stock ecu's are tuned a bit rich for protection

noob question but there is also no rev limiter or cut of speed on my car would this mean there is a diff ecu in the car or can it be turned of with the stock ecu? Also what about the timing as well any effects there from boosting it from stock?

Have you bothered to search mate?

Ecu will only make changes in closed loop and low load driving for fuel economy using the narrow band o2 sensor, every thing else in high load the ecu does not alter. Raising the boost above stock will have the car run into higher load cells, the question is whether it's safe or not to run the car in those cells.

    • 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!
