I have recently finished upgradeing my car and think i am ready to get it tuned. mods are as follows:

gt2871 turbo

apexi safc (standard ecu)

fmic

full exhaust

bosch 040

profec b EBC

I am happy to max out my injector duty cycle but need to know before i go and get it tuned will i need some form or fuel cut defender, and how does this work, and where can i get it from?

Also will i need anything else?

comments are welcome

cheers

i would just get bigger injectors, as they are pretty cheap and don't have to worry about it later on if ya winde up the boost.

i was also happy to max out my stock injectors, but then wouldn't be happy if my injectors failed and blowed my engine up.

have you upgraded the dump pipe?

also would consider upgrading the afm aswell, as that will start to max out around 210rwkw.

Also wouldn't mind knowing what power are you wanting to achieve?

I'd honestly be surprised if you maxed anything out with that turbo. Its not the largest, and i would only upgrade parts once they max out.

You should be right with a S-AFC or similar.

Whilst not ideal for the job, and a full ECU will give much larger benefits... it will be 'ok' to use the AFC device if thats your choice, and the tuner has half an idea

Thanks for the help, im only chacing around 220 to 240kw at the wheels so guess i will see how i go with my current mods, and maybe down the track look at something that can support, bigger injectors, afm ect. seeing as my safc dosnt.

i will post up results after my tune,

cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
