ECU will be fine.  You might consider that the best way to make 500rwkW will be with E85, in which case you would require larger injectors.  Not to mention some serious fuel pump + wiring.  A single Walbro 400 will be teetering on the edge on 98, let alone on pineapple juice.

Poncams are shit.  Think about getting something with more lift.  While on the topic, seriously think about a decent port job.  That's free power right there.

GT35R.  Um.  How about something with a T4 flange and a Borg Warner badge?  Top mount manifold, big external gate, big dump pipe and at least a MAC valve required for boost control here.

You will probably run out of spark before you get there. So budget for an ignition upgrade too.  At least some new stockers/Splitfires, but better option would be a pencil coil of some sort (Yaris/Celica/Audi/R35GTR, etc).

Yuh.  Simple rule of thumb.  On petrol, on a 6 cylinder engine, each cc of capacity of a single injector is approximately 1HP.  1000cc -> ~1000HP. At the flywheel.  You take ~75% of that for conversion to kW.  So, 750kW.  You take 75% of that to account for typical* 25% chassis dyno losses, and 750 engine kW becomes ~560rwkW.  You need at least 30% extra fuel when running E85, so divide 560 by 1.3 to get a rough guide to how much power you can squeeze from 1000cc injectors on E85....It's only ~430.  A long way from 500.

* Aussie Dyno Dynamics dynos seem to throw about that much power into the air.  US dynos read higher fractions of the engine power.  Other countries/brands may be just about anywhere.

Now, keep in mind that the injector rule of thumb and the dyno loss and the E85 rule of thumb all have wiggle room in them, but realistically, not enough to say that you will be comfortably making 500rwkW..........And then I look at your OP again and realise that you said 500rwHP and that changes things.  That's only ~660 engine HP and therefore probably require up to ~900cc injectors.  So 1000cc injectors will probably do it.

so maybe this? twin scroll? (if twin .91 or 1.0) Borg Warner S300SX3 (S366) Turbocharger

if so can you help me out in picking a correct wastegate.

looks like i will need 4" dump 

and for a Mac just standard?

There's a number of people who like the S series Borg Warner turbos....but that's not what I was thinking of.  I was thinking of their modern tech turbos, the EFR range.

I strongly suggest that you start reading the various (dozens) of threads on here that already discuss all these things.  Also go to the BW website and play with their matchbot.

Wastegate will probably want to be 60mm, or possibly twin 40mm, depending on the manifold and the turbo chosen.  True split pulse manifolds and turbos deserve proper split pulse wastegating.

When it comes to the MAC valve......I don't know.  I assume you will be trying to use the Haltech to do boost control.  I do not know what its capabilities are (whether it can run only one valve or if it can run two).  One is usually enough.  You are asking for high power levels, which means boost control quality will be important.  Using an external gate at least allows you to use a multi-port MAC valve to apply control to both sides of the diaphragm.  There's more reading in that for you too.

You can get EFRs with internal or external wastegate exhaust housings.  The recirc valve is typically built into the compressor housing.  No, there is no "inbuilt" MAC valve.  The MAC valve is part of the boost controller setup, not the turbo (on any turbo).

I don't know specifically which housings are available for the 8374, because I'm not interested in putting a turbo that big on my car so I don't waste my time looking into it.  But there would have to be ~1000 posts on that turbo on these forums just in the last 6 months.  So there is plenty of info just on here, let alone on the BW website.

The Borg Warner EFR DO come with a boost MAC solenoid, bolted to the compressor cover. It works well. In addition to the inbuilt Bov too.

IWG can be hit or miss with the EFR's. If in doubt, go external which has been proven to work great 100% of the time.

An 8374 will beat a GTX3582. Especially a GT3582. Consider a 7670, because that can and will do 370kw. (it has done up to 465 on E85 on some 2.5's)

Cool.  Although I'm not sure why they bother.  Would that only be a typical 3 port valve to use with the internal WG?  I can't see someone with super tricky boost control on an ext WG wanting it.

Eh it works as well as any 3 port mac valve. I used it on my setup when an official MAC product decided to rattle the center piston loose entirely. Can't say it was good or bad or any different really, but it exists and its something people are gonna need for boost control anyway.

Mounting a boost solenoid somewhere is always a headache of mild proportions, being able to bolt it directly to the compressor housing is nice enough. Makes for one hell of a short hose to the solenoid too, which is supplied. One less thing to worry about really

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
