yeah second hand gt3540's are worth anywhere from $900 to $1200, i picked up a brand new one for $1450 2 weeks ago.

drop the price to 1200 and you should be able to get close to that price

this turbos hasnt even been pushed into its efficiency range yet. So its barely even been used. I payed 1800. Polished it. Put the metal elbow and did roughly 1500kz. So its still basically new. But i am negotiable. Be realistic im not gona go too low.

And u cant get them brand new from a shop for 1600. Min is around 1750

approx 18psi. i dont want to push this any further because i have a single plate clutch and obviously the std bottem end, if it was a built engine with a twin plate, i would go up to around 26psi. For street this is more than enough to scare you.

To do the same setup i have done with this turbo is not a costly exercise.. Turbo cost me around 1800 then delivery, manifold was 250 then hadto modify it to be perfect, gate was 570.. You could use cheaper parts, but i dont want to stuff around fixing things twice, so i went braided everything and made another wastegate outlet with a screamer, full 3" exhaust, 4" intake pipe, Put the elbow on because if i was to put a silicone bend it would melt.

So realisticly the figures to set up everything would be roughly 3,700 or so doing it right.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
