Under 10.99sec it's cage time.

I think that would be a pretty cool reason to get kicked out in your STATION WAGON!:whistling:

oh didnt know..

with that amount of tourque before he gets to finish the other wheel bearing might shit itself :rofl2:

yeh anyone with an aftermarket ecu.

ie craig iain(the ones that have big heads about it) an then others..

If you have an Impul, Gzone, Nismo(also known as Awesome) you don't have speed cut.....but then again I have seen one ECU with nothing on it that does more than 180km's!

P.S. With the weight of our cars I don't think any of us will be putting a cage in!

Hey guys, FYI i have a similar problem with the VVTI model Supra with e-throttle. The speed signal has to be intercepted differently, something that can't be adjusted with the EMU consistently.

I've always used HKS SLD type limiter removal for the Toyota late model ECU's with success.

The EMU also doesn't lift the RPM limiter correctly with the VQ25, so although its running 1000cc injectors and making smooth numbers - there's more potential in Scotts engine + turbo combination.

Being a 56lb compressor i think we can expect a consistent 310-315 awkw with 500-600rpm more full throttle and a little more top end boost.

This is a really good street / strip combination and i believe even with the 0.82 rear housing there would be enough exhaust side flow to deliver very similar power with less of a lag penalty. If you work out the basic numbers, comp flow in lb/min and exhaust flow at expected power level - the 0.8 turbine housing is great for a street driven 3071 or 3076, and the 1.06 the best fit for the 3076 if we keep the same in/ex mass flow ratio. The 3076 compressor should deliver a very close boost curve but happily make the 23-24psi the engine needs to crank 330-340 odd awkw consistently - a phenomenal number for what could easily be a completely standard engine bay..

I had a little peak at Scott's tear down engine, the standard camshafts are your generic JDM style small duration, reasonable ramp, low lift units. Otherwise the head and intake manifold is well designed and most definitely has the harmonics and effective flow needed for the engine perform very well when the factory choke points have been removed. I think Scott's little experiment shows we're not far off the mark..

If the compressor actually makes another 2-3psi at peak power efficiently - I think that'll be spot on, more than enough for a family barge.. At the moment i don't think that's going to happen, the graphs show comp efficiency falling. Maybe a bigger IC core will help reduce the comp P/R.

Yes, my dynometer was re-calibrated since it went in. Each roller unit has a separate controller box, interface board, firmware and load recording device. From my understanding the front roller was running the incorrect firmware and needed to be updated.

Thanks Cihan for that info, I know we are onto a goldmine with this engine once the ecu is taken care of. Im still waiting for a Tial .82 rear, it will come soon but im enjoying the power curve regardless. The low end feels much stronger with the large housing so I don't really miss the instant take-off the stock turbo had.

I may go down the HDI intercooler route soon if this one proves a restriction, can we test the pre/post cooler pressures to find how the thing is flowing? I always preferred to have the whole cooler in the airflow but if it doesnt flow enough then the full height core behind the intrusion bar is a must I guess.

I dont think there are off the shelf cams for these but I think a 3.5 build would still be the go rather than cracking this one open as there is no aftermarket support for the 2.5.

How easy was it to fit the SLD and how well did it integrate with the stock Toyota ecu mate? I have always been a little worried about cutting the CAN line but I guess its the only option left for the Emanage tune...

I'm waiting on a donor torque converter for Kewish to hack up, they were hoping a patrol unit may fit with a little modification and strengthening. I would love a 34 Getrag but the costs...

The auto is handling it, so I may as well stay with it for now I guess.

Scott, we'd have to measure and then model the flow numbers to confirm before hacking up the front bar again, but it may be a worthy consideration depending on the IC's basic design.

Generally it makes SFA difference, but at high boost where the compressor is forced to a higher pressure ratio for a given system flow rate, there can be significant change in actual density at the intake manifold - enough to warrant reconsidering your intercooler setup.

The cams aren't really a concern, we can get them modified without any real headaches. At this stage i wouldn't be concerned with the engines base flow profile, i don't believe its an issue unless you go up a full turbo size (ie. GTX35).

I think what saves the VQ series engines (and VG series) is the broad, well angled ports - fantastic potential for big flow numbers. Plenty of port volume and average ID. So, the heads do OK even with baby cams, which from an emissions point of view is exactly the reason Nissan would have stuck with the design.

There's another IC you should consider, i'll have a chat to you about it next time i pop by.

RE the SLD, its a quick install on the Toyota ECU, direct to the loom. Can't be that bad, we'll figure it out. yes.gif

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
