the headunit in my 2020 V37 seems pretty good but im worried About how much stuff its actually hooked into in my vehicle that if i upgrade im going to lose alot of that connectivity.

the screen shares everything by the looks of it and i want to run a sub and amp so if i can do it of the factory system that would be great if not im not sure what options i have.

One option would be to find the head unit line out to the factory amp, and intercept/use that as input to your new amp (have to wire up separate speakers of course).

I went through something similar with my old CU2 Accord Euro (has a factory 7-ch Panasonic amp, which gets fed by some weird built-in equaliser in the HU). Pain in the arse to try to keep it factory-ish (I went to the trouble of finding compatible connector on aliexpress and then wiring it all up).

yer so the AMP is in the back under the tray and the sub sits in the tray.

im thinking of unplugging the amp itself and checking what wires do what and just wire everything up from the styandard amp/sub loom.

just hope everything works as intended but im thinking there should be all the wires i need.

Yes will do.

watching a few Vids on the tube about a dude putting a sub it.

he is running it in the standard spot aswell with an amp.

looks like he runs RCA's from the headunit and power then uses a connector onto his old sub wires and sends them to what looks like a Control unit of some sort.

LC2

Not sure why he used this maybe the stock head unit has no woofer control?

but with a Mono block Amp i should not have any issues controlling it?

      Boost level and torque curve

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
