its only limited to around 30% under about 3000rpm

And its a pain in the arse to tune around. I still have the throttle restriction, my 0-100 time would be around 4.5 seconds but it could be much better.

I think it could be related to speed, under 30kph perhaps?

im wondering how you intend on getting around speed cut :?

4.5 is damn quick. what mods have you got to get those numbers?

(i just had a look at your Garage). You gave exhaust 6/10 and intake 10/10? Did you do a full exhaust turbo back? or just cat-back?

No more boost/mods to pull those numbers?

Plenty of both, I haven't updated the garage for a few months.

The previous exhaust was too loud so I bought a s/h cat back and fabricated my own 3.5 inch dump into a highflow cat.

I run a fairly small highflow at 20psi on E85. Current tune is 300awkw.

Hang on... a custom exhaust, some ethenal, a high flow turbo running 20psi and you make 300awkw?? wow thats impressive.

Can the factory transmission, ECU, and injectors handle all that?

(you have me very interested) :D

He has an FMIC, upgraded trans, 610cc injectors, Tomei fuel pump and is running an E-manage Ultimate.....plus a couple of other home made bit's all of which you will need.

How much all up you reckon Scotty? 6-8k? Pretty good value I'd say...

Then again a friend of mine got his stock 04 WRX to 190 awkw for 6k...all done at STI at Docklands...

Gearbox wiped out the budget, 4k there, Highflow was another 2k, the rest was bit by bit. I would guess 10k total with me doing all the labour/fabrication.

200awkw is about the limit of the stock intake, stock turbo will flow that at higher boost but will then fail. I would be interested to see what a stock setup would do on e85...

Really? I thought M35 had ~140 - 150 awkw...so exhaust adds 50 awkw!???

Yes, You are correct..

I think Cam is referring to adding an Emanage or something similar to produce a more efficient result that should be tunable to 190kw on the stock injectors.

Scotty, What mods did you do to the gearbox to cost $4K??

Valve body upgrade, metal plates between the clutches laser cut from thinner material so they could fit extra friction plates, Dominator 3k high stall torque converter. It was the first one they had seen, its not like other RE5's apparently.

I think I hit 179awkw on stock boost, if the standard turbo was steel wheeled, 200 wouldn't be a problem.

Yep, hence what I typed.

Bargain! :)

Should be able to get around that power level from stock with just an exhaust and tune on a VQ25det M35!

OK for the tv to work youll need a new tv tuner, whats available now im not sure that Asuka dont sell them (so i read)

getting the tv working while youre driving is not advisable and against the law, but if you HAVE to, there are override boxes that can do all this and literally just plug in. they come from japan, im surprised your car didnt have one fitted already!

check under the DVD tray andsee if there is a green light that is also a button. thats the override button for the tv.

yeh im pretty sure i dont have one.

looking at the Trans ecu it looks like something was added and then taken off back to stock. Both me and scott assumed it would be the overide.

where can I get a Tuner from? its it a simple Jaycar type mod or is it more complex than im thinking. I was expecting it to be like the FM Band expander.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
