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 $$$$ :)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
