Morning all. Before we start, YES i know it is bad driving without a tune but just trying to gauge how bad

 

just recently upgraded to atr43ss2 with wg45mm external gate on stock manifold. At the same time i deleted all the bs sensors at the rear of the rocker covers on neos just to clean things up a bit. Just wondering how bad itd be beating on the car running at 10psi with said mods? Car feels amazing and pulls decent, can definitely feel at times when it leans out and bogs but i pull out of it asap! Only live once right so send it?!

Are you running the standard ECU?

I think you will blow up the engine, probably before I have had a chance to push "Submit Reply"

If the mods you said above are the whole list, you need an ECU, almost certainly injectors, maybe a different air flow meter for it to run properly

There are no BS sensors at the rear of the rocker covers. There is one essential ECU boost sensor (essential to the stock ECU anyway), and some solenoid valves that you really shouldn't just pitch unless you know what they did and what you have just done to the engine.

But, yes, wind the boost up now, to at least 15 psi, and just go for it.

I was afraid to get into boost with just a turbo swap on my R33 and that's running wastegate boost on HKS GTIII-SS turbos.

As these boys said. Just send it mart

    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
