Can I run this turbo with standard ecu?

Also what is a good price for one of these kits?

yes as long as you don't run over factory boost level. lol

Will it run - yes

Will it run well - no.

Change anything like a turbo which alters the airflow - it needs a proper tune. Given the size of turbo you'll also need a FMIC, AFM, full exhaust and perhaps injectors etc.

[omgwtf34gtr]

yes, I've done it before

[RBceffy25]

How did it go?

I Already have FMIC, exhaust, CAI, new nissan coils Blitz DSEBC, I blew the head in my old rb25 and I am in the midst of swapping it out for a neo. The engine bay is empty atmo and I thought I would take the opportunity to do a few things. Whilst searching for some bits and pieces this turbo kit came up and i just could not go past it. I will be building my old 25 with bits like poncams and heaps of other bit and pieces that I already had sitting there waiting to go on it as well as this turbo. But I thought It might be worthwhile bolting it onto the neo for the time being......

You'll get by if you set it to 8psi. Any more and you'll be well into R&R on an R33 ECU. I drove around on a close to stock ECU and it was really nice to drive, more progressive than stock, sounds deeper and louder, revs more cleanly, more lag....hahahaa. BUT you won't make much more than a stock turbo on 10psi as the ECU simply won't allow it.

Go get a Z32 ECU and add Nistune.

Turbo is good for ~230 to 240rwkw consistently. Full boost (1 bar) before 3500rpm in 4th. Heaps of torque (a bit more than GTRS) due to the fairly large A/R, but it has a bit more lag than the GTRS between gear changes.

and swapping a NEO head onto a R33 sounds like a massive headf*ck considering you don't have an aftermarket ECU.................???

If you do have an R34 ECU then just ad Nistune.

I done this, hit fuel cut. No point just get an ecu
