My 33gtr has a electronic boost controller installed in it so today i decided i would up the boost from stock to around 12psi, just wanting to know how safe it is to run boost with a stock ecu and how much is stable with the stock turbos if it is safe to run.

i am running on 1bar...which is around the 14psi...that is da max (so called safe) boost you can hit on the turbo....but anything higher will blow the turbos very very quickly...other than that dont think there is anyother issues...car wouldn lean out due to the stock ecu...from what i have heard the stock ecu will adjust its fuel ratio according to the boost...unlike the aftermarket ecus...

pete..is stock really 11? i was pretty sure it was 7...

not really worried about the turbos if they go since they are only stock ones, but more wanting to know will it make my car run lean due to it not being tuned.

no. a tuned ecu actually runs leaner that a stock ecu as the stock ecu's are tuned a bit rich for protection

noob question but there is also no rev limiter or cut of speed on my car would this mean there is a diff ecu in the car or can it be turned of with the stock ecu? Also what about the timing as well any effects there from boosting it from stock?

Ecu will only make changes in closed loop and low load driving for fuel economy using the narrow band o2 sensor, every thing else in high load the ecu does not alter. Raising the boost above stock will have the car run into higher load cells, the question is whether it's safe or not to run the car in those cells.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
