High flowing the stock turbo


Recommended Posts

Guest MFX_R33
How much extra power would u get from High flowing it... Just curious.. Will it reduce the reliabilty of the turbo.

I have got 205kw @wheels with this turbo at 17psi (this is pushing the efficiency limit of this turbo). The standard turbo has ceramic wheels, which have a tendency to de-laminate at around 14psi causing the turbine wheel to end up in your exhaust.

As far as it spooling up slower, I havn't noticed any difference. It spools very easily with almost no lag (as with the standard).

the standard unit is made by hitachi

garett quoted me minimum of $1000

benifits are you can run more than 14psi reliably

downside may take longer to spool up and it will no longer be ball bearing

and no they can`t convert it to BB iv been told

I'm not sure but do series 1 have BB?

Did you just get the compressor side hiflowed? It musnt be if u r spooling at 2500

I got both sides hiflowed ($1000) and im hoping for 200kw@12psi.

Starts spooling at 3000 full boost 3500

we'll see next week when i get her tuned on the dyno with the SAFC

My Hilux looks the goods, and has a nice tan leather interior, but it is no SR5 :D. Mine is a Grinner, ex-Repco delivery ute. Full time LPG, 1.8l, 4 spd. It's a slug but it looks ok for a work ute (pics on my site www.mfx.com.au under Team). Anyway I have a Skyline to go quick :D.

Jeff just looked at the pics of you lux and line the line looks mad!!

I really like the look. so different!

and your lux is great for a budget build as well.

how do you find the EMS is it as responsive as the the factory ecu how is it at low speed and rev's .

cheers

Thanks all :cool:

Meg. The EMS is good if it is tuned properly. I can't say that it is as good as factory. For top end it is great, you just need someone to spend the time to tune it properly for cold start idle etc. At the moment I still need to get the cold start tweaked, but aside from that it is cool. Other benefits of the EMS over PFC is the fact that you don't need the car to keep all factory or close to factory sensors, like AFM's (I still have mine on there but it isn't doing anything), plenum idle sensors, etc. I looked at a PFC but with the custom plenum and XF throttle body it was too much stuffing around. Also the amount of other options with the EMS is mind blowing.

Macka. I got the Trust bonnet from Bodyform motorsports in Sydney but it was for a GTR and I had to do ALOT of modifying to make it fit. The GTR bonnet, believe it or not, is 20mm longer than the GTSt's. The mounting brackets had to be moved as well as heavily modifying the bracing underneath so the thing would close! It still is no quite right yet as it sits flush top and bottom with the gaurds but it sits high in the middle.

MFX - just saw your hilux - nice interior.

Where did u get it retrimmed?? and how much would it actually have cost if you had to pay. My hilux has recaro interior and im thinking of retrimming them in leather and suede. Got any numbers I can call to find out costs?

thanks

Dave.

p.s - what did you use on the dash? has it been painted, or covered in leather.. or something else?

thanks. mfx's dash looks so nice. I gotta find out how he got it looking so clean...

currently my 4wd has:

single battery

k&n cold air intake where 2nd battery used to be

turbo smart boost controller (12psi)

autometer boost gauge

tinted (got that done yesterday)

and over the next month i am installing a stock r33 intercooler as a topmount where the old airbox used to be..

i am hoping for around 60+ kw at the wheels :cool:! but hey, they are 45kw standard so a 20kw increase would be good.

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
