aquariuz6, I remaped my ECU when I had the GT25 in my car, but now I replaced it with a bigger turbo and FMIC etc., so all the set up is different again. Therefore, I'm not sure if I can still use the old remaped ECU to run it, that's why I have a few questions want to ask:

Q1.Is the remaped ECU will do the same job as the SAFC?

Q2.The car doesn't give enough fuel to support my new turbo, can the remap fix my fuel mixture problem?

Q3.If the turbo is rate 480hp, does that mean I cannot have my car over that limit?

Q4.Does anyone use their standard injectors with remaped ECU/standard ECU and dyno over 250+kW at the rear wheels?

Q5.How many engine HP do I have when I dyno 215 kW at the rear wheels?

*Please help me as much as you can and I look forward to tune my car again soon. :)

1. Yes but no adjustment with remap

2. yes

3. Sometimes

4. Apparently some do with adjustable fpr but I wouldn't recommend it

5. 215rwkw x 1.34 = 288rwhp add 10% drivetrain loss x 1.1 = 316 horsepower @ the flywheel roughly. Some people say drive train losses are more than 10% - more like 18% - I'm sure someone knows better.

If I were you and had a 480 hp turbo fitted I'd get an apexi pfc. Not really expensive but allows you to do so much more.

Also a lot of remappers don't have real time emulators so can only do changes to your maps with the engine switched off. Unless the tuner's really on the ball the tune most likely won't be as good as one done with aftermarket engine managment.

gtst25, so what about the E-manage blue compare with the remap?

Not sure about emanage. You have to look at the price I spose - if there's only a few hundred between adapting a gtr pfc and emanage I know what I'd go for assuming you're running a rb20.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
