Hi All,

Wondering how many PSI i could run in my r33 GTST. I am planning on getting a boost cut defender (short term until I get a PowerFC).

Mods are:

  • GReddy front mount
  • GReddy Profec 2 Type B boost controller
  • 3" stainless dump, Gutted Cat, 3' Stainless TRUST exhaust
  • K&N hi-flow panel filter
  • CGC Hi-Flow turbo

The rest of the car, engine is standard... How much boost could I run with the standard injectors and fuel pump without it being dangerous???

Cheers

Thomas

Get a ECU, get it tuned, and get a fuel pump

Aftermarket turbos with proper management and decent fuel provisions = absolute danger/motor death for SURE.

You risk your motor due to the fact its not tuned for the turbo, and your running the stock pump.

Two very big no-no's mate.

So either run as little boost as possible, or go and spend the 2k (ECU/fuel pump) and get it setup at lease half decently.

I say half decent... as you still need injectors/AFM to make the most of that turbo.

So all up you realistically need to spend another 3-3.5k to actually use the turbo you have fitted.

So, if I leave the boost controller turned off and run the standard 7pound setup should be safer for the time being??? Haltech or PowerFC?

Where are you located?

My recommendation... BCD are bad, they clamp the AFM voltage which makes your car run dangerously lean, and also leaves the ignition too advance for your desired boost...

REMAP FTW IMO, Next option would be a PFC, or then complete aftermarket.

id really go get it tuned before you do any real damage to the engine, driving it now with a bigger turbo on and the standard pump is skating on thin ice.

but thats just me...

I GET IT!!!! I'LL GET A PUMP AND COMPUTER!!! (didnt have any choice bout the turbo, mine shat itself and I needed a new one)

I'm looking into the GReddy E-Manage Ultimate. Anyone had experience with it???

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
