Guys I have a VG30DET roller bearing turbo on my motor with a Microtech and sard trigger boost controller holding 13psi, dropping off to 10.5 psi at the top of the rev range - I have maxed out at 183.1 rwkw (248rwhp), you guys should be getting heaps more power from the 2530. I am about to add a T3G garrett the Oz equivalent of the 2530 and expect 230rwkw.

I have a dyno graph if any one wants to see it

bbenny, i have had some dealings with Quick Fit in Hornsby 9476 2877... i have to say all my dealings were pleasant.

Considering the amount of ECU work they do (aftermarket, engine transplants, wiring using std looms etc etc.... they are the NSW Autronic dealer) then id be surprised f they cant do something for you.

I'm getting my PowerFC from Greenline. They always seem to have them so they either don't sell many or they have a heap of them.

Here's the quote from the Email:

APEXi Power FC RB20DET: 95,403 yen

Shipping: 2,500 yen

TOTAL: 97,903 yen AU$1271

From our experience in Australia, the import system works as follows:

Cost of products + 15% (maximum) import duties + cost of shipping + 10% GST.

Note that for some parts such as engine management, there is 0% duties and 3% for turbos.

So all up that is $1398.

bbenny - Removing the boost cut, or more correctly speaking air flow cut, is not a good idea. This cut is put in place to protect the motor. The cut happens when your AFM reaches a certain voltage.. Getting rid of this cut puts a voltage clamp on the ecu eg 4.5 V... When your car flows more air than this voltage clamp the ECU literaly has no idea how much air it is getting and can only be mapped by RPM, or putting it simply guessing. The only accurate method of mapping above this 'boost' cut is to swap for an AFM that reads a lower voltage at the same flow, Z32 for example. A Z32 AFM will read up to 300 rwkw ish quite easily. I have tried mapping using this simple boost cut method and it can easily result in detonation in light to medium throttle applications and very cold weather.

Feel free to call anytime if youd like to discuss some options?? 0411 878 961

Doc.

Yeah but you have to remember, by tricking the ECU that it is getting a lower level of air going in will cause the ECU to advance the ignition timing and lots of boost and advanced timing will cause detonation. and if i can get 300rwhp i dont want that!

thats why im considering the option of either remapped ECU with Z32 or PFC with Z32 i would love to go the PCF but its all beggining to get a bit expensive now...

As for the SAFC i think its great for minor adjustments or with the std turbo, but i just want to make sure everything is working together as best as possible... but that means $$$$ :)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
