That's the problem mate, ECU will allow your set up to be tuned to its full potential and not blow the motor,

Nistune like mentioned is about a grand or go the trusty apexi power fc but talk to the person who will tune the car and see what he likes to tune

oh okay, thanks alot

The tune is the most important part it ties it all together you should get 180 with a tune with some luck with your setup to make 250 you will ner bigger injectors new turbo and a tune. I think many people will back me up on this one ( do it once and do it properly) Spend the cash it makes life slot easier

how much you think it will make if i have the stock ecu

you should be able to get up around 170 to 180kw (or more) with that turbo at 14psi. sounds like you have some other issues going on there. may be a timing issue, or fuel issue (lack of fuel or too much). i'd start by getting a dyno run on a different dyno (to rule out a low reading dyno) as well as see if they will give you a dyno graph with AFR's on it so you can see how rich it is running.

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 馃槩
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
