There well supported but a tad basic for street R33(Stinger version) and waste spark etc.You would need the top model to do it right so best to look for a plugin like PFC or Wolf etc. You need Idle speed,VVT,, boost, Aircon request,and closed loop minimum for a nice road car, Stinger uses it outputs for tacho,fuel pump control etc leaving you short on outputs.Ive seen fuel pumps hard wired cause theres no outputs left so if going EMS look for their topend model,and as your saying the price is cheap i think your talking Stinger.The real upside it EMS are fantastic ppl to deal with.

Thanks NIB. I think in the end I may go Wolf, just a shame the dashes are not availble until they find another supplier. IMO PFC's are not really a good choice considering what they are and feature for the prices people are asking, you need to run Z32's with them which is an additional cost and nothings guaranteed because its all 2nd hand now. In comparision (for cost) there are many better choices, the only thing they have going for them is the support for tuning.

Anyway my intake/turbo setup is..

HKS GT2530

SARD BOV

3" Turbo back exhaust (inc stainless steel dump/front)

Hi flo cat

Pod

With an ECU i suppose i should get around 300rwhp?

stinger is a great little ecu for a basic setup converting a car on a carby to an efi setup.

For a nissan it's not a good move.

how come??

my car has made over 400 hp@ 27psi on NIB's dyno with the stinger. stock internaled rb20...

my best mate converted a series2 rb25 into his r32 with gt30 and stinger and that made close on 400 aswell

there an awesome bang for buck ecu, u dont need to wire it up as a standalone it can be pickybacked aswell meaning you keep a few outputs.

they have just realesed a whole new range aswell which would be worth looking into

I like the stinger myself , I had one not long ago running a turbo efi converted A14 in a datsun 1200 ute.

Power numbers themselves aren't a measure of how good an ecu is, the setup is a complete pain in the ass compared to things on the market that have plug in abillity to suit the RB nissans. But If you like mucking around then why not?

hows the fuel ecconomy on yours?

yeah true i can understand the wiring up as being an issue to some, but it made life a hell of alot easier to me (managed to ditch most of it from the exhaust side)

agreed on the power thing but 27psi on the internal map sensor... no need to upgrade to bigger sensor unlike some of the more expensive ecu's on the market.

fuel ecconomy is like any hard tuned car,I see 350km to a tank with light driving and with full throttle hill runs type driving (on off on off) ive seen up to 400 a tank :rolleyes:

You must be kidding. Is that even possible with such mods? I find it hard to believe man. As bubba said, must be a very generous dyno.

      Stagea throttle body sensor help rb25det neo

      From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.

      Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)

      Trans oil cooler off a Stagea

      If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      It sounds "expensive" when compared to a mass produced tow bar that gets imported from China, but if that's all custom fabrication, then I think where you've ended up, it's a pretty good price! Considering some people will pay thousands of dollars for a few intercooler pipes to be welded up!

      Dumb rich kid tries modding for the first time

      I think modifying any car, has to be because you like it, OR, you have an end goal to do XYZ. EG, build the fastest VW Golf in the country etc. So, if you're not setting out to do crazy things like break a specific record, or replicate some certain car, then as mentioned above, find the car that you really like, and modify it. Why? Well, modifying any car isn't a sound logical thing to do it. You do it for the fun of it. And if you want it to be fun, you need to start with something you really like. For some, that would be something like an R34 because they saw one in The Fast and The Furious franchise, for others it'll be something entirely different for some other reason. For me personally, why am I here, nearly 20 years later? I loved cars, all cars, and I wanted a car that drove a certain way, I was about to drop the coin on modifying a VR Commodore (Because I grew up in a family that taught me Commodores were the only cars worth owning). And just before I did that, a friend handed me the keys to an R33 GTST he'd just bought that was pretty much bone stock, it drove EXACTLY how I wanted a car to. Nice handling, the right amount of straight line zoom zooms, and hell, I loved the way it looked. I looked at the R32, it wasn't for me, I looked at the R34, it wasn't quite for me either, mainly because they were too expensive  Price is also why I never bought a GTR back in the day. But I loved the curves of the R33 GTST, interior suited me over the R32, and wambam, thank you ma'am! I bought one. And in the essence of "return on investment" and "Sound financial planning", I've been making the dumbest mistakes ever since. Also, I know of a specific mortgage broker on these forums who has a very well modified R33 GTST making great power for the street and track... Then you could modify it with adding a Samsonas gearbox, Bosch motorsport ABS system, and go have some sick fun! Oh, and then you'll be able to help him get me my next mortgage, because that, like modifying a car, is probably a stupid financial decision for me at this moment the property I want...
