Id be happy with 280. How much boost could i run on stock fuel system and ecu til i gaet it all sorted?
Nope, thats why ill get it going on say 7psi now, then buy pump , injectors etc. Any more advice or info to help me along?
It seems you have missed the OP's topic all together.

He is asking what else is needed once he has this turbo bolted on, and what he can do with it in the meantime. I dont see an issue, chill.

i am "chill" bro it clearly says in these quotes that he wants to run it on stock injectors and ecu. so maybe u missed the point buddy

You are spot on scott, thanks for understanding. I dont care if its slow for a while... it is a heavy wagon and slow now anyway.

then do it all properly and then when its done it will be a f**king animal.

You're still forming your own opinion on what he's GOING to do, rather than what he has said he will do.

He wants to put it on now, and then grab the other supporting mods. He asked (and might I add, YOU QUOTED) how much boost he could safely run with this turbo until he has the rest of the mods.

Stop telling him what you think he SHOULD do, and answer his question on what he CAN do.

Since you ask, yes it is a bad idea. Even with just 245 awkw my Stagea handled so much better on a twisty hill climb in the rain than the 2wd V8s around (as in behind) me.

But if you want to hang the tail out and burn rubber by all means rip out the awd (but why didn't you buy a 2wd version or a Commodore?).

I was hoping it will transform the car, its pretty sad when i have a swb pajero i put injection and turbo on thats faster than the stagea...

TBH dude, keep it simple and easy, go with a highflowed stock turbo. Bolt it on with a full exhaust, Nistune the stock ECU and enjoy it.

It's never going to be a Skyline though and it barely compares to my 32 but, for a >1600kg practical daily driver, it is phenominal :D

Nistune will definitely be suitable, you will need a Z32 afm though and a decent fuel pump (read: Bosch).

Edit: actually, give me more info about your stag (year, model, manual/auto, etc) as not all of them can be Nistuned easily.

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
