dwayne Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 does anyone know how much psi these can take. it was set at 18psi with the hks evc5 but i was curious to whether this can be increased safely or not cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Stock turbos can take 18psi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 You could try asking TDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 well, i have hybrids (not Tdi's) and I can run 1.4bar (21psi I "think") quite happily with the correct fueling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I wouldn't go past 1.4 bar but it'd be rude not to go up to that -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 thanks to everyone. i just wanted to know the limits before i start playing with the boost controller. i take it that it would not be a good idea to run at 21psi all day long then. i have hks fuel rail 1000cc hks injectors and the fconv piggyback if that helps cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 i have hks fuel rail 1000cc hks injectors and the fconv piggyback if that helps cheers guys sounds like your car was set up for something serious... had you thought of an AFR to see what it's doing - or take it to a rolling road? or did you set the system up yourself? My second car came from japan with an Fconv mapped for the limit of Jspec fuel and it was a det monster on uk fuel, a total timebomb. I had to have it taken off and replaced with an emanage immediately. Just offering some preventative advice; as unless you set the fconup yourself who knows what it's up to!

dwayne Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 i didnt do it tdi did. its the fconv pro are they any different? i do plan on taking it on a rolling road for a session soon, i havent a clue what the bhp figure is. the bloke i bought it off spent £15,000 on the engine (i have the receipts) but i dont think he knew much about it and neither do i. all help and advise is very much appreciated! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The pro is fine - and if TDI set it up you will be fine... I was just worried you might have got it straight off the boat (like my old one). The old Fcons are not possible to map in the UK (old models) Some of the Vpro's have afr feedback/knock amps and these are self mapping too. 1000cc for hybrids is a bit severe though.. he mast have had big plans for the car! At least you'll be able to put a hairy single on in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayne Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 i'm sure mine has knock amps but not sure what they do. i read somewhere the evc5 shows the afr but i dont know how to bring it up on screen. i am definately thinking of going single in the future, do you know if my fuelling is good enough for around 600rwhp?

wkdtime Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Fuelling is more than enough for that sort of power assuming it has twin pumps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamc Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 my hybrids have been mapped up to 1.4 bar, however, I like to hope that daily driving will be done at around 1 bar or less... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 1000cc injectors on hybrids, blimey, £15k on engine, blimey, sounds like you have a nice platform for a nice single conversion. Is it auto or 6 speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 sorry to put a bit of a downer on this.... But did you know the person you bought the car from? I would get the car to garage (reputable) and get them to give the car a once over... an engine build for £15000?!?!!? Is a lot...Especially 1000c injectors and then hybrids?? My car has 680cc injectors and I think that is a tad on the overkill side for what I am running (fuure proofing ). What company was the build done at? What else has been done to the car??

dwayne Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 it seems strange to me now i have learnt a bit more about the car. just about everything has been done to the engine apart from internal work. he started with hks exhaust,filter and boost controller. then the 2nd turbo blew so the hybrids went on with the rest of the gear(typr r fmic etc)i will try to take photos of the receipts for a spec list and add them later. i would love to know the reasoning for the overkilled mods because it makes no sense to me either. maybe he did plan a big single but ran short of cash, i did get it for a very good price! tdi did the work. its 6 speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 It could be genuine, and he just got the parts he did because they were cheap... it does sound odd! the knock amp also reads AFR's if it's connected to a wideband O2 sensor.. it looks like the evc5 but displays the AFR reading (or not). If you don't have any way of measuring the AFR's then I'd say you could do a lot worse than getting an AFR guage for yourself. EVC is only for setting the boost.. be careful with the stock system when using it on cold days.. unless you have a restrictor ring in the boost settings are not constant.. you can get quite a bit of creep (uncontrolled boost climbs) from the stock wastegate.

However he might have gone with the idea that I had... Get all the extras done first and leave the turbo for last. He might have just wanted a bigger single than I do... I basically ran out of mone before I got the single done, so decided to go hybrids for now. Never dealt with tdi... can anyone comment on them?

Wez Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 TDI use to be a trader on here many moons ago. They can be expensive but there cars seem to hold together well, my mate uses them for all his work on a supercharged IS200 and never has a bad word to say about them.

bolarbag Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 15g is not an awful lot of money on a 2jz gte, the F-Con pro is a serious piece of kit, F-Cons can be mapped in this country...any fuel controller can be mapped in this country, and even if locked, they are self learning, so you shouldnt have had knock for too long It would be good to see a spec list, I suspect from the 15K...it would include management, exhaust e.t.c which you have generalised as 'engine'?

Mike B Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 F-Cons can be mapped in this country...any fuel controller can be mapped in this country, My old HKS one couldn't and it wasn't self learning either.. HKS dealers in the UK wouldn't touch it.. think it was the Fcon-S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vsarin Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 TDI use to be a trader on here many moons ago. They can be expensive but there cars seem to hold together well, my mate uses them for all his work on a supercharged IS200 and never has a bad word to say about them. Hi A member of my family has a supercharged lexus and is active member of Lexusownersclub. He used tdi for hks fcon vpro and someother mods to his car. was not very successful conversion in the end, car never ran right, even after taking it back 3 or 4 times to be rectified. I dont know if you mate was the 1 sending him emails saying tdi's work was ok, (im sure he had black supercharged is200 if i remember) but it turned out that, the guy with the superchaged is200 sending emails, was a mate of the owner of tdi and gets all his work done at discount rates. Needless to say, that when i find the right supra, and/if it needs any work doing then, i shall be looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
