umm just curious but why would it being a stock turbo make a difference? unless he's running smic? i would've thought timing and fuel would be his main issue here.

That was in reply to John asking about when full boost hits. As it's a stock turbo it would be on full boost quite early, and there is a lot of timing in that area. (And pretty much everywhere)

you clowns obviously do not know how the ve on these things work, that tune looks kinda okay in the fuel maps and timing maps, if you look at a stock r33 bin image it actualy runs MORE timing up top!

ffs. ve on these things reference to another 2 places in the ecu to decide on the fueling.

now i am starting to understand why tuners lock their maps.

you could tune that ecu with most values in that fuel map at 50.

this ecu does not use a maf, its map based.

it calculates the ve a number of ways, rpm, map, ect, iat, etc etc etc.

they are a really good ecu, ve is better on the autronic and adaptronic though.

good kiwi company. what are the haltech's like? am looking at one for my mates pulsar GTIR.

a lot nicer IMHO, however you pay an arm and a leg for it. The software is more user friendly and the windows fit things nicely on a standard 1366 x 768 laptop screen

ive tuned many haltech's and link's / vipec... and i rate the belovid Kiwi's link and vipec over the haltech on any application every day of the week.

the link is better, the software is great... everything is on one drop down menu on the left side.... and the software is very customisable to show what you like while tuning.

the haltech is great also, would prefer it over many other ecu's on the market. but i really rate Link / Vipec.

So the fuel map after 60kpa is not to blame? Running 12psi boost.

^ do you have a wideband installed on your vehicle? I suggest you do that (when you get a new motor).

It's the timing map you should be worried about, not so much the fuel map.. Yes AFR is an attribute to kapowing motors, but in this instance your timing map stands out.

I won't say much about your map in public, PM if you want me to explain.

the haltech is about $400 cheaper than the link here. but based on what you say sounds like the difference might be worth it.

are you comparing the same ecu ? plugin for plug in ? extreme vs ps2000???

that timing map is not the reason why this engine went bang. it is not an ideal map, but it aint going to hurt anything. it could have been tuned a bit harder.

    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
