Alfredo24PR Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Open downpipe at the front of the car?? What is regulating your boost? Makes alot of noise thats for sure, wouldnt say its a whoooole lot faster than oem Are those the stocks exhaust manifolds just modyfied and connected under the engine? Pics are kinda hard to decifer It is really weird about the downpipe. i was just looking at it this morning but after a while I noticed that its the wastegate I think. I agree that on this video it does not look a whole lot faster since the shifts were really short, I will post a video with shifts at 6500 RPM because it feels different than when just flooring it on drive.

iPath Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Here is an acceleration video. Kinda sucks at quality but at least sound is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K7X8mpZEgM i'm guessing this is km/h right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igetstabby Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 i'm guessing this is km/h right? Looks like mph to me - the speedo only goes to 120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPath Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Then looks pretty impressive to me. Jumps from 60-80 in like 3-4 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOT Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Be honest, you said your parents paid for this turbo/labour etc, would they spring for a new engine if it popped to?? VQ35 + FMU as engine management = ticking time bomb It is impressive though, pat your mechanic on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have been trying to avoid driving it until Haltech is installed. It has not even done 600 miles since the turbo was installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfredo24PR Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Haltech installed. Made excellent gains. Only problem is that my country is only providing 91 octane besides only one gas station that provides 100 octane at 2.69 per litter, and the boost had to be reduced to avoid the engine knocking (i think that it what it is called when there is a weird engine noise due to the pistons or idk). A methanol injection kit will be added this tuesday along with a bigger turbine (current turbo is a T3/T4) in order to make the desired tuning and horsepower that I want. As you see, the max hp was 423.94 at a max boost of 14.93 However, due to troubleshoot of engine knock due to low octane (91 octane gas), it was, for safety, reduced to 12-13lbs for 345.75 horsepower. No engine knock problem but a water/methanol kit will be installed in a couple of weeks along with a bigger turbo for results than can easily allow 425hp. It would easily achieve more but due to stock engine limitations, for safety it will not go not too much over 400 horsepower. On a side note, the Haltech Platinum Sport 2000, allowed easy tuning and even has a nice launch control that I tested and it felt AMAZING. Boost cut is set at 15 or 16 I think to avoid disaster.

Alfredo24PR Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 the only problem with the haltech was controlling something that I do not know the name, but this custom piece needed to be installed for it too work. I will take a picture of it installed so maybe you will know what it is. I think it is crank something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Looks like a crank angle sensor wheel, the new engine controller must have a sensor for that. From what I've read, the water injection should help keep the pre-detonation (knocking) down. How's the trans holding up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfredo24PR Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 trans is holding up great. and yeah, the water/methanol should solve that problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I just saw this thread. Did you ever get the water/meth installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
