you'd be best off doing the dump/front pipe as well. then you would have to run it at stock boost as it would flow more air than the stock one, so if you went higher you may hit rich and retard. other than that it would be fine.

as he sed, finish ur exhaust, buy a boost controller and an ecu and tune it. i wudnt run it for too long or give it too hard until uve tuned it, just to be on the safe side.

im running slide hiflow,full 3" exhaust n dump, cooler,walbro pump and about 14psi...it feels good but the stock ecu holds the hiflow back something bad..i mean i can barely pull away from stock 33's that are running cooler/exhaust and 14psi :laugh:

Ive got a highflow, sitting there waiting to go on (found a R34 gcg highflow at a price i couldnt pass up).

batmbl split dump and highflow cat

catback 3in

Turbosmart eboost 2

I ran my standard turbo at 10psi for only short periods. Would the highflow move more air at stock boost than the standard at 10psi?

Im thinking if i run it at standard boost, and set the wastgate pressure to open up at low boost (eboost 2 gate pressure function), will this be ok to cruise around with for a while. Then i can sell my stocko turbo and get FMIC or more likely a PFC while they are still around. Also on the cards is fuel pump and injectors when the $$$s allow.

cheers

I realise that boost is only relative to each specific turbo. Which is why i ask if a gcg highflow moves more air at stock wastegate pressure than the standard turbo at 10psi.

Which also leads to the question, what boost is the wastegate spring set to on A- a r34 turbo, and B- a r34 gcg highflow turbo (sydneykid some help maybe :D )

cheers

ok.. if i have roughly $500 to spend on after turbo upgrade.. what will be the best thing to spend it on? keep in mind.. i only have catback and fmic. cause it doens't look like i'll be able to afford a new ecu for awhile.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
