HKS2530 stage 2

[GTS26DETT]

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

Maybe post in the vic section for references for me

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.

[Steve]

bbenny, for what its worth, I have read some pretty positive feed back on these forums, perhaps do a search for 'Dr Drift' and see what it comes up with?

[bbenny]

i gave quick fit in hornsby a call, the guy didnt seem like the most helpful character. anyway they dont burn chips, only tune aftermarket computers

[bbenny]

Im beggining to consider going aftermarket computer... but its not cheap!

im thinking along the lines of Power FC

any thoughts? anyone selling an R32 GTS-T one cheap?

[Roy]

Been there done that... i kept a casual eye out for an RB20 Power FC for about 1 year, then when i found one i pounced on it.

After the long wait the thing was faulty (2nd hand ECUs) so im still without aftermarket management.

[bbenny]

Ouch! wat mods are you running Roy?

Has anyone bought anything from that greenline website. they seem very reasonable, but im always worried about giving my money to someone before i can see the product...

[Brody]

check the forsale section, toshi does a good job on remapped ecus and lives close to you...

170rwkw with stock turbo?

What else did u have at the time???

[Sydneykid]

Hi Roy, what's faulty with the Power FC?

[bbenny]

Brody: other mods were exaust, frontpipe back, cooler and filter and bleed valve to get 14psi.

[Cubes]

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, do as brody says and have a read of Toshi's remapped ECU in the parts for sale section...

if i'm not mistaken, the remap also includes getting rid of the boost, speed & rev cut...

[Dr_Drift]

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.

[gtsex]

deal with the doc, dont waste ya time and money on aftermaket when youve got a totally remappable ecu dude. he did mine with top results(basic remap so far)

[Roy]

Joel let us know ihow you go with the Power Fc. I have a sneaking suspicion come delivery time you may strike problems... but i hope im wrong.

[jnr32r]

BBenny im in the same boat as you, if you get a Z32 AFM then you'll need your ecu remapped, but if you get a SAFC then you all you have to do is change your settings for it to work.

[bbenny]

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 $$$$

[Dr_Drift]

Recently tried an SAFC remap for a customer to suit Z32 upgrade... after 2 hours on the dyno he said F&^K it and bought a chip..... took 15 minutes and the car was sweet as!!!

[jnr32r]

So are you saying you couldnt tune the SAFC to suit the Z32 AFM.

Theres the choice of changing the cal. setting to suit the Z32. After you tried that was it still hard to tune?
