do you have any type of piggy back computer or aftermarket computer. if not then you cant expect much. your afr's will be all over the place and (most probably rich) . once you get something like a SAFC2 (fuel only) or power fc (ignition and fuel)your power will go up to realistic levels.

Blaming the ecu is an easy thing to do. Could also be the dyno reading low. Post up a dyno sheet.

I wouldnt say anything is wrong.

Do the basics first, ie servicing(plugs/oil/timing/ecu reset, etc).

Mine pulled 175rwkw with only a catback and a pod and 12.5degrees and was only running 9psi.

thanks guys i changed the dump pipe and im installing an eboost with a fcd within the next 3 weeks just need money for the tune.

even with the dump pipe changed i have noticed a big increase in spool and top end pull, so looking forward to the e boost :kiss:

the cat is a xforce one so i think its decent

Please please do not install the FCD. Do your car a favour and at least try and get a Apexi SAFC II

I've got an SAFC II if you want one - sitting on bedroom shelf. I used it when I had similar mods to you - works well and gives other info like voltage levels, knock, etc.

Id be going a compression and leakdown test before anything else.

180rwkw is a base figure for thos mods.

Personally for mild mods like that i wouldnt bother with an aftermarket ecu. Your not really going to get much top end power. Fuel economy would be better though.

ive got 3inch turboback, profecb @ 11.5psi, fuelpump, fmic, pod, hiflowed injectors(unnecessary @ this stage), afc neo, made 197rwkw @ chasers then detuned to 193rwkw

tho it was just an afc it felt tad better to drive after tune

140 looks low friends auto made 150's with only pod and turboback @ stockboost

140 is way low..

mine made 186kw with dirty old apexi pod turboback and 11psi coutesy of a tap from bunnings...think it has a better fuel pump too..

whats your compression like....

you need to find the problem not buy more shit...you should be getting around 180kw...something is wrong..fix it then buy more shit...

+1

you have a problem some where and an Eboost will not fix the problem.

  • 2 weeks later...

is there a way to raise compression if its down or is the car f***ed . could this be fixed if the mechanic i am going to checks it out ???? i bought it stock and then i got a boost tee installed the mech installed it and dynoed it he charged me 550 and it didnt seem to go much better even though boost was increased by 4 pound . since then i have changed mechanics but havent dyno tuned it ... should i ???

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
