Just Got The Car Back

Hey guys, I've just got my car back from the tuners. I thought I'd share the results...

My plan from the start has been to keep the engine bay looking as stock as possible so the coppers can't pull me up for anything.

Car makes 252.7kW on 19 psi.

Details:

- Stock Internals

- Highflow turbo by ATP with R34 Housing

- S15 480cc Injectors

- Bosch 040 Fuel pump

- 600 x 270 Stealth style intercooler. It uses the return path of the stock cooler.

- 3" exhaust

- Stock Airbox with K&N Panel Filter

- Wolf V4 ECU

- MAP Sensor (for those who don't know, Wolf uses a MAP sensor instead of the AFM)

- Factory boost solenoid

The boost is controlled by the in-built Wolf ECU boost controller which uses the factory solenoid.

I haven't got any pics of the engine bay but it looks fairly stock - just as planned :D

Unfortunately, the stock BOV was leaking and even the mod to stop this didn't work so I've had to block it off for the time being.

Cheers all :D

Thanks guys :)

I'd say EAS Performance done the Wolf tuning if I'm correct in saying that. Love their work.

Yeah, Vick at EAS Performance did the tune. The guy's a wizard when it comes to the Wolf.

Thanks guys :)

I got the turbo through Vick. He works with the ATP High-flow turbo all the time and said 19psi won't hurt it. I'm guessing the R34 housing helps. Johnnilicte, Vick highly recommends these turbos so you could give ATP a buzz and see what they have; I've heard the ATP guy isn't the nicest person to speak to so just keep that in mind :sick:

As for the motor, yes it has stock internals and I brought up the question of 19psi being ok for it. He said it's safe and even went to the effort of showing me through the tune and the slight tweaks he did to preserve the engine.

Having the car as a daily driver, I run it on low boost (8-9psi) most of the time and only chuck it on high boost when I feel like giving it a bit of a squirt. I don't go deca days and such so the car won't be 'hurting' and pushed to it's limit very often.

I've realised there's a lot of debate on how much boost to run for stock engines - some say simply, too much boost kills the engine, others say depends on how safe the tune is or a combination of both.

I was a bit paranoid at first but after Vick explained it, there's more peace of mind. I guess time will tell...

I haven't got a torque graph, but I was told the force at the wheels is about 6500N - I still haven't converted it to Nm.

Suprised its still running.

Why??

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
