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?

Will need a good Turbo for that.

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.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
