I have heard back from the mob in the US who offer the cheapest most compact solution.

Who's wired up a tacho to the ecu's tach out pinout? Does it just work? select 6cyl and thats it?

If so then its a piece of piss.

jurule,

Hows the PFC?

Shaun said it went all well apart from a suspect std fuel pump causing a few issues with not enough fuel once on boost.

He was quite happy with it loosing next to no power with it running no vct.

Mid range power is up as the stock ecu was doing its usual R&R.

I'll be looking at getting a vct controller in soon for testing; no $$ to waste at the moment though as I've just spent quite a few $$ with the purchase of a rb25t gearbox and still have to outlay more $$ on a good clutch and tail shaft modification.

I will get around to it though.... Unless some one wants to purchase it in the name of being a guinea pig? :(

The VCT controller works out to be some where around the $80 mark from the US.

So in short over the stock ecu WITH VCT a pfc WITH tuning offers similar low end power but the pfc offers more mid range+ power.

A PFC + VCT + Tuning obviously offers more mid range again. :spank:

So expext ~10rwkw increase with VCT and a PFC through the low to mid. Top end of mid and top end power will stay the same.

Yeah mate all good and getting a Wahlbro pump in next couple days to go back and wind the boost back up to 14. Got 183rwk at 10psi. Gonna get a better rear muffler too, an X Force is gettin delivered tomorrow. Got an old crappy Jasma at the moment. Im hoping for 200rwkw. If i dont, then its more mods....

I wouldn't be too concerned Shauns dyno is a fairly conservative.

Most 33's push ~190rwkw ish.

14psi on stock turbo isn't a good idea it won't last long; ~12psi max if you want it to last. All depends a lot on driving style though.

Hows it feel with no vct? Noticeable loss of < 3000rpm power?

Shaun said it should be fine. I am not a thrasher, just give it the occasional squirt so the turbo should be fine. If it goes bang then i guess its a new turbo, not the end of the world ;)

It is a little bit flat low down but dunno if its the VCT of the fact i dropped 4psi. Im thinkin the latter...

Interesting shaun said its picked up mid range over what it was running before as it was doing its R&R through the mid range on the dyno. Maybe the dyno was loading it up a little more of which you wouldn't see on the street in second gear. Quite possible. :rofl:

So down low you mean before 3000rpm?

Yerah b4 3000 but think its just the decrease in boost im not use to but she comes on boost a lot smoother now, no jerky shit and feels really strong, pulls hard. Had an X Force muffler installed today. 3 inch twin up sweep tip. Strange but notcied a diff compared to the old one.

yeh all done!!! and a cheap price and he looked after me with a few other things at noi extra cost!! ended up less then he quoted!!! shuan and the guys at BW are CHAMPS!! THANKS!!

Went in for 2nd tune today at Boostwork with high pressure fuel pump and new rear muffler. Pulled 192kw but was losing about 3psi. Found it was a dodgy t- piece fitting leaking boost. Fixed her up and got 204rwkw. Pretty damn happy. :(

Hey Cubes,

Been a while but i may still be interesting. Looking at taking some money out of the account and spending it on the car, just getting the $$ for various mods. How much would i be looking at?

Cheers

Dan

You'd be looking at the purchase of the PFC + wiring/tuning.

PFC is around $780 ish from japan + what shaun charges for the wiring/tuning.

Your best bet is to contact Shaun/Troy directly as I believe they know you. A rough price I could give you is most likely way off. :)

    • 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.
