mmmgtir..the other day me and the boys from Brotec Engineering where playing with my Gen 2 Brotec Xforce Xtreme II ecu / BOV combo and decided to see what we could push out project datto to. Your right, at first we had some huge engine temps but then we combined a water injection system with 32.1psi of boost and where shocked at the performance. The turbos still glow red under the high power output but according to the thermocouple we have welded to the snail they are running alot cooler.

We are running custom injectors however, they are 1250cc and we have to run a twin bosch pump feeling a custom surge tank which then gets feed onot a brotec special mechanical pump which sits off the alternator. (same as the gibon r32)

It was amazing, I think we are good for 9's with this new setup!!!

sounds nice mate. I'd love to check it out. I think there are gains to be had with even a touch more boost, possibly can drop the exhaust temp down a little further.

I have to admit I was maxing out my pump/injector combo until I switched of the pump fuel, needs a high koctane to function properly. big gains to be made in fuel choice.

I have heard some good reports on the brotec II and i may have to try one out once they are released for sale. perhaps I'll stop fooling with my FJ and put it on the GTR. one thing though, you may need to ream the orrifice of your fuel tank to install a bigger line to keep up with your 1250cc injectors.

I'm actually surprised more people don't utilise the gains available when pushing a turbo past it effeciencey range and then through to the 'zone'. I guess it comes down to lack of knowledge and not many engines built to handle that much thrusting.

edit: oops I've mispelt some words. please excuse, i type fast when i'm thinking direct to the pc.

Honestly dude the brotec is awesome.. I cant believe how easily its tuned and how nice it looks. yeah I think my fuel lines are way to small, we are going to punch a hole in the bottom of the main tank and put in a squiqqle drive style pump, they are noisy as hell but should push enough. Need to use something like a garden hose to get the fuel up front too!

It really makes sense to push the turbo more, I figure it must be simply more air means more cooling.. Exactly the same principal as your front mount intercooler. we have actually attached a twin thermo to the back of the intercooler too!! I think its crazy that more tuners dont push the turbo to the zone rating, thats where they reach their best performance.

]']wow people are hikacing my thread :rofl:

okay dumps and injectors and going to go in :P

wise choice.

sorry for the hi-jack.

Sly is right too, it's not really practical on a street car, as all that power is really unwanted for tootling down to the shops for a six-pack.

I have heard how you tootle down to the shops mr fuse

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
