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

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
