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 know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
