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. :)

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
