Wut?

Not tune, set boost to afr? What you mean man?

Have you never done that or something?

You just talk to the car nicely, tell it what you want

Sometimes you plug a Vac line in the AFR gauge (make sure its narrowband) and it tunes for you

I mean use the wideband in ur exhust and work the afrs in turn the more boost you have the leaner ur engine will b to safely run most probs under 10psi so you dont lean it out so that was my question

LOL, it's 2016 not 1984 tuning Pulsar ET turbos.

Will the turbo do that? Or the ecu?

OK thanks, will there be much difference in performance over standard?

No differences works exactly the same. Need to make sure factory turbine housing is not cracked.

I mean if you put a bigger turbo on without the supporting mods computer injectors exc you can do this tho you cant run high boost cus lean out injectors max out so obd wide band goes up exhust and you use a hand held computer that tells you ur air to fuel ratios you can tell if its leaning or richining thats all im trying to ask if

Tao from hypergear has had any 1 do this with a high flow turbo

Don't do it, it's not a VL commodore.

Doesn't make sense at all, a bigger turbo will push more air into the engine, you'll enter a section of the fuel/ignition map in the ecu wich isn't even there. There's no sense at all changing turbo's without doin 'the complete package'. If it should be that easy, why would everyone put aftermarket ecu's in there cae ... ;)

Ok sweet well owning an auto stagea kinda makes things hard its a pigy back set up or full computer ==$$$ and the closest tuner is 500klm

Nistune will do auto transmissions, and flex fuel to boot.

If you think outside the box you can piggyback a full standalone ontop and let that ecu do all the work but the stock ecu for auto control. Then literally cut all the ignition and injector outputs from the stock ecu and wire it up to the standalone.

Always ways around it, just need to think outside the box. Also you can set the stand alone to input a gear change signal and retard timing for you so you don't grenade your box.

My box is fine. It only retards timing at wot anyway. I don't believe the adaptronic is capable of retarding on gear changes anyway, according to Andy.

And yes everything is run through the new ecu except for idle so the auto knows when it is in gear and obviously the auto control.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
