Hi All,

Well, i recently blew my turbo on my R32 GTS-t, and saw that as a good opportunity to upgrade to something slightly larger...

So i've lined up an R34 GTT Intercooler and an RB25 Turbo, and they're being fitted this week/early next week...

Everything was going fine until, for some reason this morning, this question popped into my head:

Will the stock management be able to cope with these changes, seeing as they're not OVERLY huge, and they run relatively rich in standard form anyway? or will i have to get a chip burnt or an SAFC etc installed?

I realise each case is different, and it varies from car to car etc, but in general, what do you think?

I intend to put it on the dyno afterwards to make sure the AFR's etc are within acceptable levels and its not going to lunch itself... Just trying to prepare myself so there are no suprises etc...

Thanks

Jason

I had an RB25 turbo and a blitz front mount and I was running 16 psi with a stock ecu. (R32 GTS-T)

As long as your fuel pump is ok and up to flowing the extra fuel needed you should be fine. just be weary about the pump as this is how I lost my 1st motor.

You may find the fuel cut in second / third every so often. Especially if its cold.

With the stock ecu you will probs see afr's round the high 10's to low 11's up in the revs depending on the boost u run.

As for power you will probs see anyhere between 140 to 160 rwkws.

Hope this helps.

Yeah the SAFC/remap is not essential you will be able to drive it with no problems.

The intercooler will make no difference to the ECU whatsoever.

The turbo may cause it to hit fuelcut.

If you are going to put it on the dyno, I would suggest getting an SAFC secondhand from the forums. even if its one of the old safc 1s it will still do the job and i have seen them for $100 from time to time.

plus with the safc you will be around the 170~180rwkw and you will be using heaps less fuel and more pawah everywhere

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
