If I get into boost sorta fast the engine will cut at 5k rpm. If I slowly get into it it'll let me pass 5k without cutting but won't go over 5psi and  also after 5k it'll die sometimes or bog. My shop has checked about everything and they can't find the problem. They told me the only thing I can do now is to run a standalone ECU. I'm fine with that but kinda worried about not being able to run a closed loop so it doesn't waste gas. Any input ? Very much appreciated

When did the problem start? Or has it been like that since the swap?
I would start cheap and easy. Such as check for boost leaks, clean coilpacks, new sparkplugs gapped to 0.8, change fuel filter.
The stock ecu should be fine at 8 psi, it shouldn't have any R&R issues. If you have a boost controller you could just quickly bypass it and run stock wastegate pressure to see if it fixes the problem at all.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
