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?

Have you bothered to search mate?

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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
