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?

    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
    • From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man. 
    • Yeah, but the country is turning to a bit of shite at the moment... (Majority of work is NZ'ers, and we have an office in NZ I deal with daily...)
    • If it came off a Skyline you could easily have sold it for $500 to someone wanting OEM parts to return their car to stock. Not sure if that market is in the Stageas or not.
