yeah everyone has said that, and I was disappointed with it because I found an exhaust leak at the O2 housing (the turndown from the turbine to the downpipe on the buschur GT35r)

 

So, let me get this right. your Using the Following in this order

hks dl II --> nology 2 ingniter --> 300m CP

I understand the way you set it up, Still getting alittle confused. Mind explaining alittle more. PM me if you could.


I guess there are a good amount of people that are already on the stock ecu making a good amount of power.

 

You sure about that? I've seen Buschur post that his kits spool up the fastest he's tested on his dyno but even those were well into the 4k rpm range (4400 IIRC).

My setup produces (all numbers are in 3rd) exactly 1 psi at 3k rpm, about 10-12 at 4k and is all in by 4700-ish. Hard to tell exactly because anything over 4500 becomes warp speed. Cool thing is that below 2k where even the stock turbo is asleep, my car now has significantly more power. I take the exact same route home each day and there's a long, steeply graded hill that I run up in 5th at 40 mph with the AC on. With the stock turbo it would bog and eventually I would have to downshift even w/ the turbo making a couple psi of boost. Now with the 35R, it only requires about 3/4 throttle to perform the same feat in 5th with no downshifting and of course it isn't making any boost.

My car is downright nasty on 22 psi, it was worth every penny and rpm of lag

 

the only 'real' way to tell boost/RPM is with a map sensor. looking at a boost gauge & tach at the same time can be very deceiving.

I've been debaiting wheather or not to install the 35r kit I have sitting around. After much thought and research I've decided to bite the bullet and just install everything this weekend. Looks like I'll be in the stock ECU/35r catagory after all.

 

Wish I was that lucky!! =D

 

you can buy it from so I don't install it... I have an add in the classified section.

 

Dam that's impressive spool up! So your probably full boost by 4000-4200 huh? I seeing 20psi at around 4500-5000rpm or later and I have HKS DLI 2 but with BPR7ES gapped to .20, however I have cam gears set to -2/0. Its probably the tune I have that is causing all the major lag......

 

I have the boost limited to about 20psi now, but I would think full boost would hit around 4500rpm as most have experienced.. After going back over my logs the levels were about 300rpm later than I originally claimed.. But thats still pretty good compared to what many are experiencing..

 

Im glad to see that the stock ecu can handle 500+ hp. The Gt35 users about how much power have you made at like 15 psi?
I know its a very vauge and open question, i am just curious to get a ball park number nothing exact.
Thanks

 

at 15psi the turbo really doesnt feel any better than stock.. It feels nice, but the 35r really didnt wake the car up until it was about 19-20psi..

I wish I had numbers to indicate the power levels but most of my work has been while road tuning.

All I can say is 15psi the car felt quick, but alot like stock only slower to spool..

 

at what point does sucking in the stock honeycomb become a problem?

 

nice what psi are you at now?

 

Thanks i just wanted to get an idea since i want to use the stock ecu with the PT6776R (gt35).
With the ecu Flash and the Evo scan how acurate has it actually allowed you to log and tune at much higher HP #'s and boost?
Did you tune it yourself?

I got an extra 50 or so at the wheels with the ecu flash but that was raising the boost through the stock ecu. Only mods were 3" exhaust and intake.

However thanks for answering my question.

 

I tune my own.. The load calculations are fairly accurate so you can find where in your map you need to modify..

However the built in load calc, Airflow reading, are both clipped well under where we would be getting readings..

I use an ECU+ to do a majority of the logging, I suppliment the data with Evoscan logs to look for Load Site, Knock Sum (correlate with the knock sensor voltage), and other values that are only represented within the ECU itself.

Logging in ECU+ is much better than anything any ECU Logger can give you at the moment, with the exception of Knock Sum and calculating load from some of its data..

I am tuning the car myself, only any hardcore tuning is on hold because I'm working on another project taking most of my time, But I have tuned for 21psi and on pump gas with very conservative timing and very rich, the car is already getting a bit too quick to street tune in third gear.

 

Thanks
