A rebuilt and hi-flow turbo just became availible to me at a very good price.

I want to run ~16psi (I understand 18psi is approx highest on standard internals)

Will just SAFC be good for 16psi? Or need PowerFC?

I hafe:

- Turbo back zorst and hi flo cat

- FMIC

- upgraded clutch

its not about how much boost, its about the amount of airflow :type:

i wouldnt run this airflow with only the safc, youll benefit much more with power fc

i wouldnt surprised if you just get boost cut all the time from the stock ecu, way too much airflow @ 16psi

I have a 94 gtst and havent had any problems at over 1 bar, the highest ive ever run it was 1.2 bar, after pulling my turbo off it was apparent that it had been rebuilt/reconditioned recently so its not quite as dangerous as doing with the standard turbo :rant:

my dyno power curve at 0.9bar is dead straight with constant power gain,

180.3 rwkw with the afr's in the very low 10's

i dont think the standard ecu is as weak as everyone thinks, its probably most of the other systems that stuff/support with it

i think the standard ecu can support 220-230rwkw if everything else is done properly + piggybacks

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
