Because the boost falls over at the top it seems inconsistant with boost creep as creep should keep climbing all the way to redline. But 38mm is right on the limit.

What im saying is use te boost controller to try and run 18psi solid from 4 to redline. If he had not control at all with the boost then the boost controller lines are back to front

I see what you mean. Ill get it sorted one way or the other soon.

Once i sort it out i hope it comes on earlier too.

So i wouldnt get the results I am after with that turbo?

For an internally gated turbo you would definitely get a better result from a Hypergear :)

For your power goal of 230-250 I recommend you get a Hypergear highflow, it is a simple rebuild/respec of the standard turbo that will get you the results your after.

That being said, it will also bolt straight back on where you took it off (stao will provide you with the extra bits needed to make it direct fit). Its also cheap, only something like $960 delivered and ready to bolt on.

Confused reader here. I have a pretty much stock R33 S2. All I've done so far is 3" from turbo back exhaust, mounted an ARC return flow intercooler, installed a cheapy Drift pod filter and grounded the boost wire. I've also installed a Walbro fuel pump. I'd love to get more boost happening and understand I'd need to get a different turbo. Hypergear sounds like it could be for me as it's direct bolt on. Then get a nistune board installed and get it all tuned on the dyno. At that state, what HP or KW do you guys think I'd getting? I don't have plans to go as extreme as some guys here, God bless them, so think a high flow and nistune and I guess new coil packs (will I need new injectors too?) is about my end game, plus at some point replacing my stock shocks.

My advice is to get the ECU first. Also, if you are considering buying a HG turbo, Stao can give you a great deal on an Adaptronic plug in ECU. Something to think about given you have an R33, so the NIStune will take some messing around. The Adaptronic may represent better value for money. Perhaps look into it?

Then, it depends which turbo you end up getting from HG as to what HP you can expect and whether you will need injectors. If you go a simple highflow, stock injectors mayyy be able to do the job, perhaps with a bit of help from an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator. They will be very close to maxed in any case. However if you want something capable of say 250rwkw, then you're probably going to have to do injectors as well. I'd suggest talking to Stao about what you want.

Sounds good until the adapteonic ecu is $1500 plus tuning instead of the $1350 supplied fitted and tuned including z32 ecu for nistune

Not if he buys the HG turbo. Stao quoted me $1040 delivered for the Adaptronic.

Plus tuning. I agree it is a good price but nothing can beat NIStunes for cost.

Tis true, the NIStune is a good option I agree. Just food for thought.

How much would you charge to do the Adaptronic? I was quoted $650-$750 to install/tune my Link plug in. Also have to factor in IAT sensor. So if the Adaptronic is similar, then you're looking at what, $1800 installed, tuned, everything? If the NIStune is $1350 tuned, and the OP decided he wanted more power and needed to get the Z32 AFM as well, that makes it between $1600-$1800? Depending on the price of the Z32 as well as installation, etc.

And that's only if he decides to get the Z32 done at the same time as everything else, if he changed his mind later and needed to get it done then that adds another $400 or so for a retune? Whatever way you spin it, the NIStune is probably going to be the cheaper option. But if it's only ~$200 cheaper...

Be it myself Id probably take up the offer on the HG and adaptronic, as it takes away another expense (AFM) as stated and one less thing to compensate for when making intake pipes and all that crap.

Id personally like to own an R33 which had a HG H/F, adaptronic, TBE, pump, fmic. Id leave the stock injectors in there and run it at the quoted 15psi. Should go really well.

U are spot on. Thats why i try to convince most customers to do everything at once then to keep adding parts that require a retune. Costs more up front but saves alot down the track

That's exactly what I'm trying to tell myself about getting the Link installed now, rather than later. The soreness of the wallet makes it a bit hard though :glare:

Except when the minimum boost it will run is 18psi. Ask Mitcho. I dont feel its safe to try max the injectors out and leave them running like that.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
