Just Got The Car Back

Hey guys, I've just got my car back from the tuners. I thought I'd share the results...

My plan from the start has been to keep the engine bay looking as stock as possible so the coppers can't pull me up for anything.

Car makes 252.7kW on 19 psi.

Details:

- Stock Internals

- Highflow turbo by ATP with R34 Housing

- S15 480cc Injectors

- Bosch 040 Fuel pump

- 600 x 270 Stealth style intercooler. It uses the return path of the stock cooler.

- 3" exhaust

- Stock Airbox with K&N Panel Filter

- Wolf V4 ECU

- MAP Sensor (for those who don't know, Wolf uses a MAP sensor instead of the AFM)

- Factory boost solenoid

The boost is controlled by the in-built Wolf ECU boost controller which uses the factory solenoid.

I haven't got any pics of the engine bay but it looks fairly stock - just as planned :D

Unfortunately, the stock BOV was leaking and even the mod to stop this didn't work so I've had to block it off for the time being.

Cheers all :D

Thanks guys :)

I'd say EAS Performance done the Wolf tuning if I'm correct in saying that. Love their work.

Yeah, Vick at EAS Performance did the tune. The guy's a wizard when it comes to the Wolf.

Great result mate. I have a wolf v500 and love it. But thats a fair bit of boost and power to be running through stock internals. Are you planning a rebuild in the future?

Thanks guys :)

I got the turbo through Vick. He works with the ATP High-flow turbo all the time and said 19psi won't hurt it. I'm guessing the R34 housing helps. Johnnilicte, Vick highly recommends these turbos so you could give ATP a buzz and see what they have; I've heard the ATP guy isn't the nicest person to speak to so just keep that in mind :sick:

As for the motor, yes it has stock internals and I brought up the question of 19psi being ok for it. He said it's safe and even went to the effort of showing me through the tune and the slight tweaks he did to preserve the engine.

Having the car as a daily driver, I run it on low boost (8-9psi) most of the time and only chuck it on high boost when I feel like giving it a bit of a squirt. I don't go deca days and such so the car won't be 'hurting' and pushed to it's limit very often.

I've realised there's a lot of debate on how much boost to run for stock engines - some say simply, too much boost kills the engine, others say depends on how safe the tune is or a combination of both.

I was a bit paranoid at first but after Vick explained it, there's more peace of mind. I guess time will tell...

I haven't got a torque graph, but I was told the force at the wheels is about 6500N - I still haven't converted it to Nm.

Suprised its still running.

Why??

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      Boost level and torque curve

      By thx78 · Posted

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
