Hey guys

Will it do any damage or cause any trouble if I put the SS1PU on without the nistune installed yet?

Trying to work out a way I can get the car to DVS without having to tow it up there.

I was thinking install the SS1PU and then get my brother to wire up a plug for my z32 so I can drive up with the stock AFM then just chuck the Z32 when I get there

how far are you going to be driving, isn't DVS a couple hours away?

It's very possible not to boost lol. If you want to install the turbo before you get it tuned then you don't boost it, simple.

On the stock ecu it will hardly boost before it hits r&r anyway.

I ran my ATR43G3 for a year without being tunned ran it on 7 psi and its ran great just laggy.

Loosen off the actuator so its sloppy comming on boost and you will be fine hitting up to 5 psi on stock tune

Possibly get a base tune by someone in Canberra and let the turbo run in, then go to DVS to get the tune tweaked?

If money is a factor, work out if it'll more $$$ to tow 4 hours or get a base tune here and drive up.

You will be fine. If the turbo is the only aftermarket thing you've got on there, it will be fine. 4 hours of tow truck.... gonna cost you. You can easily drive the full speed limits. Going up to his place is pretty easy, no pressure to floor it or go fast. Once you are on the free way cruise it there. Get all the prep work done before hand(as you are with the wiring) so when you get there and get to the dyno, minimal time is wasted dicking around.

I drove my car to my tuner about 20 minutes away first time. I had all my aftermarket parts in there except my injectors(didn't want to risk the wrong settings). It was running on the base tune with the z32 afm and it was fine. This drive was through start and stop traffic.

I can probably drive my car to the other side of australia at 110km/h without hitting any boost at all. Right foot, control and toot on. You won't hit 6psi unless you actually tried to. You'll be fine man trust me. You will get there faster than a tow truck will and you will have the money in your pocket to pay for the tune or pay for something else when the car isn't making the power it should.

Yeah he is at least 4 and a half hours away which is impossible not to boost

What kind of issues does it cause upgrading from stock turbo with the stock ecu.

Thanks guys

If you boost it you risk detonation, however what you can do is leave the wastegate actuator off so you literally can't boost more than 1-2psi by redline, do this.

ive been driving with my gtx3076 and stockish tune, cant do more than 2-3psi without the engine light coming on, you should be able to baby it around no probs

just change gear at 2500rpm with not much throttle, mine still keeps up with traffic even off boost, just shift up quickly and your fine.

taking the actuator off will make it sound very loud and drive like a dog, atleast thats what happened with mine.:whistling:

The turbo it self acts like a muffler of some sort, bypassing the turbine the exhaust goes through the open wastegate, it will be louder. It will run like arse, but its foolproof and safe if you are worried about foot control.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
