Just Got The Car Back

[EeLeYe]

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

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

that is a very nice tune well done!

19psi???? geeez

[0ny]

nice tune mate, can i ask who tuned it for you?

[R32_GODZILLA]

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

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.

Suprised its still running.

nice one goos result

[allthewaytotheskyline]

what torque?

[brentos]

Im curious is that a stock 33 turbo hi flowed? Is it safe running 19psi on them lol coz i was told 16 is safe? I am asking coz I am considering gettin mine hi flowed

Nice power buddy!

[shotter]

Great result mate. I have a wolf v500 and love it. But thats a fair bit of boost and power to be running through stock internals. Are you planning a rebuild in the future?

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

damn jealous, I just got my car re-tuned by Guilt-Toy and he pointed out my turbo is running out of puff towards the top end, might consider getting a hi-flowed R34 turbo as well...

[EeLeYe]

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

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??
