Short update:
according to my DEFI boost gauge Im at 10 psi (??) but a different no name mechanical boost gauge puts it right at 7 psi which is what its supposed to be.
Oh, and check engine came on showing "P1078" cam position sensor - doubtful has anything to do with being F/I . Gonna replace what needs replacing and get to a dyno to see some numbers.
I know there may be better kits out there and if so , wow wa wee wa - cuz even this Stillen stage 3 has changed the car into something else than what Nissan sold to me. Its much faster, quicker, edgier & every little blip of the gas pedal breaks the rear free (lol new tires next real soon)
Did I mention I love this car

Looks like a nice set-up you've got there. Congrats! I can't wait to get my ZR back. It's under the knife right now getting an HKS SC plus a little something extra. I can see how fun it's going to be. I just need to get some skills transfer from an instructor like that. Thanks for the vids.

P1078 almost
mereplaced all sensors & checked and rechecked everything , finally narrowed it down to the Stillen piggyback control box. Several emails later - new box installed in the car and voila... no more check engine
Id like to thank Margaret at Stillen customer service .... and did I mention I love this car
You're LYAO because?
OP. I have a Zex kit that will go well with that 7lbs of boost.
I added a 55 shot to my Stillen kit, made it a whole new beast.(still couldn't take a Porsche turbo though
)
