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?

    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
