It was out of SAS's league, what makes you think they can do it? Even the Japanese have only hacked the fuel and timing maps afaik.

I have gone down a different route anyway, not looking for an ecu hack now as for years I have been let down. The HKS will be going in when I get back from Qld.

I never said they "could" do it but seeing as they are both electronic engineers in software and hardware and developed Nistune, I thought I'd ask if they are planning on having a look to make it easier for us all.

Engine bay looking good PN-Mad

Intercooler is crooked.

(Hey! So I'm a little OCD...)

Must've been Craig's fault :P

It is crooked- but as you know, if you want it straight, you'd have to chop out more of the FRP bar- thus reducing strength. I'm happy for it to be a bit crooked, cause I'll never see it behind the front bar!

Nah, no extra chopping... just pick a lower hole for the bracket (near bonnet clip) to be bolted into.

Then the other two wouldn't fit....anyway- not OCD with things I can't see!

How long did your mate drive it around without a tune? Did you do anything to help the engine?

I'm planing to remove 2 degrees static timing (the limit of what I can do without the flash software) and maybe get the bigger fuel pump in there to give the injectors a bit more room up top. Just in case you know.

He is still driving it around without a tune... although the BCM is letting go so he has intermittent wipers when it is dry and none when it rains (lol!) among other electrical eccentricities.

Have one coming in so should be back to normal in less than 2 weeks, but has had no mechanical issue at all.

Only other thing that was done was a Race Radiators custom radiator installed at the same time.

Update: Fabrication of the Intercooler piping, and exhaust are COMPLETED banana.gif

Happy with the result - the turbo outlet to pipe is amazing- I'll get some pics up in the coming days. I hope to hear its voice tomorrow, with the remainder of things being assembled/plumbed/filled/tightened etc.

The HKS GT-II External Wastegate controls the boost. It has a 0.35BAR/ 5psi (supposedly) spring inside. This functions as the boost control. It will be tuned at that level, and once everything is sorted and any problems figured out, then I propose using a manual boost tee of some form to run no more than 0.5BAR. That is considered the safe max for the stock block, and nets good power, however I have see stock blocks with 10 or 12 psi holding up on the US sites.

Depends a lot on where you measure the pressure I think.

I have a feeling it will end up at about that level too, but we'll just have to see.

Meh, 7psi?

Get some e85 in the tank and dont put too much timing in, you should be able to push it to 1 bar no problem. :banana:

Where are the pics?

15psi on a stock VQ35 bottom end?

Think it'll take more than fancy fuel to keep it alive, but feel free to put your spare VQ35de in your car and let us know hit it goes Buddy. :P

Im sure a lot of the feedback on rod strength from the US is just bad tuning. Too much timing and det is what kills rods not boost, E85 will help with both issues.

I guess my motor is just super strong right? Even though the rods look very similar in size? The amount of times I have heard "dont run more than 20psi" or "dont use a p1ggyback computer" now it just makes me smile. :whistling:

x2 bad tuning kills em.

If you get det, in-cylinder pressures might go from 1000psi to 2000-2500psi suddenly, if this happens BTDC then Mr Rod has huge stresses on it.

As long as you make sure that peak cylinder pressures are reached 8-20 deg ATDC you make best power, so if the tuner doesn't get too cute with advancing things beyond the ability of the fuel to produce a smooth flame front then there is no reason you can't stuff more boost in.

QFT.

The main benefit of ethanol being it burns slower than 98, right through the crank's downward travel. Thats where the extra torque comes from.

I hope you have a good tuna picked out... :whistling:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
