I read somewhere that a guy got his car to 185kw with a stock ecu.. possible? i want to get the most out of the stock ecu for the moment as i'm saving up to get a haltech ecu..

I have a stock ecu, 3inch dump, hi flo cat, 3 1/2 inch cat back, standard turbo, splitfire coils, pod filter, turbosmart bov and a turbosmart eboost2 (11psi) boostcontoller and i pulled 186kw@wheels.

but i am half way through heaps of other supporting mods - including gready plenum, Q45 90mm throttle, gready fuel rail, 650cc injectors, gready intercooler (spec R), and new microtech computer.

didnt get to do my first dyno at racepace :down: benno rang said its bad idea because turbo winding and really load but some ppl told me its because it used to be a track car and turbo could be boosted, it went up at 1 bar so it boosted to 13./14 psi i think, so not going to do my first till i have new turbo l :wub:

I wouldn't get coilpacks until you need them...spend the $4-500 on something else. I ran with standard coils and ~250rwkw for months without misfire, and only bought coilpacks because they came up at a great price brand new.

i agree i only have them because they were playing up and thought i'd spend the extra money to upgrade them, if i were you i would start with a pod filter, then exhaust and then same type of boost contoller. and see how that goes.

How did you get it to that? and who tuned your car?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
