I've just gotten the 9174 running on rb26. Needs a tune. Alot better off boost but only makes  .5 bar at 4k rpm.

Will a tune fix the laziness much?

 

Ignore the boost gauge for a kick off mate. Get it dialled in and see when it boots you up the ass when you mash the loud pedal.  See how it responds to different throttle inputs etc

Just burying your foot on the accelerator and waiting for something to happen while watching your boost gauge isn't a good way to gauge how it's gunna drive. Especially if it's untuned.

I'm not too clued up on the tuning side of it. How much of an improvement do you expect after tuned properly?

Stand alone ebc.

There is no fixed rule, sorry.  Depends on how far off the current tune is for it etc - the actual boost threshold is unlikely to change much unless there is something mechanically (cam timing/wastegate/leaks) making it laggier than it should be.

What exhaust housing is it running?  What was the previous setup, or should I say - what tune it is running on if it's not tuned for this setup?    If it's completely untuned then I would take anything of how it drives with a grain of salt, and really not be driving it at all.    

1.05 ts ewg. Previous turbo was 8370 wheel size Borg Warner journal bearing with internal wastegate that was too small to control boost.

Definitely a lot less restrictive now on the exhaust side.

Tuned on eflex with cam gears adjusted to suit. Has 264 greddy cams.

These are my old pumpgas results on 8374 IWG with nothing more than changing cam settings (increased overlap).

 

 

 

where are they Pat , nothing to see ?

I've taken the efr off and am going to sell it . Went back to a smaller turbo and couldn't be happier. 

I'll list it in for sale section if anyone is interested.

Did you actually get it tuned ?

 

What have you replaced it with ?

No , pulled the plug before it became too used and worthless. 

Upgraded to a turbo off a tractor.

You mean downgraded to something better matched to what you wanted?

The 9174 was laggier than the old Airwerks ?

Yes correct. Tune would help. Ive got a forged 3025 neo and r33 gtst.ill put it on that if I don't find a buyer. Any help selling would be greatly appreciated. The one I put on is slightly similar to what came off but with t4 rear and better twin scroll manifold / external gate setup.

So its like a Borg Warner S300SX 8375 or something - 60mm turbo?

I'll mention it to Kiwis who may want a 9174, you have the 1.05 hot side?

Yes mate to both questions.

What I'm using now is basically an 8370. It starts moving just after 2000 rpm.

It would be great to find a buyer thanks.

Can't promise anything but will mention it.

Where do you get an 8370!?  Never heard of such a combo

That's what the wheels measure up at. Extended tip compressor too. The first one I used on this car was off an eimco ed10. Screenshot_20180419-165043.thumb.png.5d86742b662ec24ce8cd2f0e13885fc9.png

That was '8374' size with cut down water cooled turbine housing. The one I just took off was '8370' with twin scroll t3 turbine housing and internal wastegate which the ports were way too small and not able to control boost.

The new one has the same size wheels in a t4 twin scroll housing but I've made it external waste gate. It works great.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
