Bit generic question... starting = 1psi?

Also depends on mods too, a full exhaust will spool up a turbo quicker than a standard exhaust... more boost = earlier boost too...

If the car is dead standard or say just a cat-back id say that would be fairly close to right... maybe a few psi before 3,500rpm in 2nd but nothing too noticeable if its standard

Yeah, car is stock :P Thanks for your help.

I'm think about getting a turbo back zorst. Is there a lot of gain by doing the dumps? or should i just spend the money towards a PFC?

I'm choosing between a PFC & microtech. Ive been told to go with microtech because it is more flexible as you do more mods but i'm not chasing huge power, just lots of response as this is more a street car. I've read on this forum that PFC is really good for what i want to do (zorst, boost up, PFC & tune). Which way should i go? any one had any experiences with both setups? What kind of power would this set up give me?

Also, is there any point in going a brand name zorst like blitz? To me, a pipe is a pipe & don't really care about minor power differences. I think the money you save can be spent on other mods which will give more bang for the buck, like a PFC.

Lastly, where can i buy the $22 boost contoller from? is 14psi really pushing the stockies?

Sorry about the long post :(

There is alot of hp to gain from doing a turbo-back exhaust system and Id look at that before you consider management! If your still not happy then throw on a boost controller for 1bar with a front mounted intercooler kit. Still not happy then go the power fc and tune, and maybe an rb25 turbo charger as its slightly bigger!

Does a 32GTR has a FMIC and it should be fine for the power i'm chasing. Also, bolt a rb25 turbo? just 1 of them? i was thinking something like 34 N1s or 2530s. but new turbos are a long way off atm. Can't justify the price.

The straight line performance is already getting dull but when i take the puppy around corners, even stock power is a lot to handle.

Thanks for pointing that out! I swear it didnt say GTR in the title before... lol

Yes i was refering to a GTST, GTR with a full exhaust and boost up with give you plenty of fun times :(

Is it worth it getting a brand name zorst? they are quite expensive & imo just a pipe like any other pipe. I've been quoted a full stainless zorst from turbo back (no dumps) for $900 for a workshop. Does this sound right? Also, what factors determine a good quality zorst?

I personally dont think its worth going a brand name exhaust, if hes said turbo back without dumps... well its not turbo(s) back then lol

Have a look on the forums for gtr exhaut bits, get yourself some dumps, front pipes, cat and a nice large (3.5') cat-back exhaust!

How much difference do dumps make? i'm thinking of not doing it as the turbos have to come off.

Will bring your spooling time right down with some good hi-flowing dumps...

If your changing the turbo's fairly soon then maybe you should do the dumps when you so them, but your exhaust is only as good as its least flowing part!

I was thinking of changing from the front pipes & leave the dumps on until new turbos are on. Will there be much improvement with this set up? or should i do the dumps now as well

Id say fronts + cat + cat-back exhaust would be a 40-50rwhp difference? So your going to notice a shit load more power outta the rb26! Personally, those twin HKS style dumps are goin fairly cheap on the forum... id probably just grab some while your doing the rest

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
