well i find out wednesday if i spun a bearing or not =[ wish me luck haha..found me a nice 1j with ecu loom and bellhousing cheap as =]

27th February 2010 - 01:31 AM  Reply  Quote

changed the values in the hi load maps on the safc, went for a spin yesterday and i didnt hit boost cut.
Will have to keep an eye on it, and see if it will allow me to raise the boost.
I still have to get a boost gauge though, as i am unaware what boost i am running.


Is anyone aware with the single stage boost controllers (turbosmart) that if i flick the switch, is there a off and then whatever boost i set it at? if you know what i mean

27th February 2010 - 03:05 PM  Reply  Quote

oh so you have the safc already in it hey??? you really should put a gauge in to see how much boost you are running. the smallest amount mine would run was 13psi and that was enough to hit the boost cut. either way im going after market ecu now so i dont have the boost and speed cut issues any more.

well got the car up and running last night with my new ecu in. had abit of trouble setting up the base map and getting it to start with bigger injectors/fuel pressure and timing etc. much louder then i was hoping but i can always add another muffler . just got to set up a few small things then get it on the dyno early next week. not going to get max hp out of it yet until i drive it to make sure every thing is happy and wear afew new parts in. so hoping to be driving it by next weekend.

when are you getting yours dan? been there a while? whats the go with it?

8th March 2010 - 01:16 AM  Reply  Quote

I ended up taking the car to test and tune last night, just to see how the car is going at the moment.
Really need a stall and a shift kit in it.

60ft on first run was like 2.9 hahaha and 102mph at 15.5. farted around a little
2nd run i upped the boost. got too half track and the intercooler pipe popped off soon as I hit full boost.

So some things i still have to look at getting sorted and sourcing some 550cc supra injectors with resistor pack.

Will get there eventually. So 15.5 is my starting point. Can only get quicker from now on in.

anyone here wanna help me with engine conversion? ill pay cash >=]

bazr33- sweet yeah when i had mine in my commodore it was around the 3 sec 60fotter lol but that was with standed stall and 3.08 diff gears. if your going to get a stall dont get a 2800 like alot of other guys do i reakon they are a waste of time. get at least a 3200-3500. what boost was the 102mph run?

loveit- depends when you need it done? i can give you a hand in a couple of weeks once my car is done?

well my car was on the dyno this arvo and having trouble with boost issues so pulling it apart tomorrow to change a few things then back on the dyno again. made 360rwhp with it playing up and backing of early so cant wait for a final tune

pig060- yer i wnt have the engine for a few weeks anyhow but if u coul;d help it would be awesome, i just dnt have enough for the garage to do it for me as my car = job lol not much funds

11th March 2010 - 03:04 AM  Reply  Quote

were abouts do you live? pm me that. just let me know when you get your engine and ill see how im going for time to help.

11th March 2010 - 03:10 AM  Reply  Quote

pig060- i dont have a boost gauge still yet( just bought one), but i had the boost controller off so was probably standard boost. The 2nd run i turned the controller on and came on fairly hard until the pipe popped off.
I think my query is with stall convertors, with a 3200 stall, would it still be decent on the street?

sounds like you car is going to make some good numbers. Should be good once everything is sorted.

I also have kings in the front and kings are going in the back on the weekend, to stiffen it up a bit so its not like a boat.

11th March 2010 - 03:14 AM  Reply  Quote

yeah ive heard from a few other guys that the 3500 is fine on the street. i had a 2800 and could not really even tell. yeah cant wait to get mine going . sway bars on cressy are very small so you might want to do some thing with that to help with body roll. there is a guy on cressida forums that makes up a braket so you can run 2 standed ones which will stiffen it up alot and alot cheaper then buying an after market one of the shelf???

11th March 2010 - 12:45 PM  Reply  Quote

iv got a 3500 you dont tell its not like you try at take off and you wont move til you hit 3500, stalle only works when you put your foot on the break and rev like your trying to do a skid otehr then that it'l feeel normal, um my cressy is just sitting no idea
last i heard its in pieces

12th March 2010 - 06:21 AM  Reply  Quote

pete is an awesome tuner the car isnt booked in he is doin it in his free time for me, doin me a major favor just goin over it all, pete is the sort of tuner that won't let a car go unless he is happy with it so im just letting him do his thing

12th March 2010 - 05:22 PM  Reply  Quote

fare enough at least it will be done right. will be good to see it out again. im still having trouble with mine holding boost but should have it sorted out soon. anyone know how to make the steering not so light? mine is super light and is abit scarey when im in third/forth gear full noise hehehe.

13th March 2010 - 03:08 AM  Reply  Quote

550cc supra injectors, boost gauge, and a 14psi wastegate spring on the way.

looking at a usdm supra intake camshaft now.

rear springs are in and is sitting nicely.

pig060, have you got the boost issue sorted?? Planning on taking the car down the track soon??

15th March 2010 - 03:25 AM  Reply  Quote

nar havnt been down to the work shop since saturday. i think the best way for me to control the boost is to run the gate of the turbo housing (best place for it anyway). the engine is running so efficient with the new manifold and bigger exhaust that the gate cant get it out quick enough. we thought it may have been the manifold not working right so we took it of and modifed it to except more air to the gate but that still didnt work. so ill just put the gate on the turbo housing and should be sweet. once i get it sorted then yeah ill be stright up to the track. but my power steering is way to light and gets scarey from about 3rd gear onwards so im going to have to do something about it to give me some fell back in the wheel. i can turn it with just my pinkey lol thats how light it is. BAZR33- why not just get cam gears instead of playing with the usdm camsharft??? how much difference will it make do you know???

15th March 2010 - 04:10 AM  Reply  Quote

The lift on the usdm camshaft is 8.33 instead of the standard jdm cam is 7.85
about 10kw, but with bigger turbo etx, maybe 15kw. if i can get my hands on one for 100 bucks, would be worth it.

Took my car down the quarter. I think i am hittin speed cut half - 3/4 track.
And a stall and quick shift is going to make a huge difference.

14.4 at 106mph. 60ft was 2.7 haha

Especially with th security of the 550cc injectors and raisin boost, next run down can only get quicker.

18th March 2010 - 01:57 AM  Reply  Quote

yeah my 60 footer with standed stall was around the same. you wouldn't be hitting speed cut if your only getting 106mph. im pretty sure the speed cut is 180kph which is about 111mph. if your hitting that speed at half track then your car is going pretty good what is your speed at half track???

well i have now desided to move the gate onto the turbo housing so ill be pulling my car apart this weekend and changing my setup. so hoping to have all that done next week sometime then back on the dyno for a full power run. fingers crossed this time lol.

18th March 2010 - 02:18 AM  Reply  Quote

well last friday night we got the boost to kinda hold between 16-18psi until i move the wastegate onto the turbo housing. it made 411rwhp with the limiter set at 6500 with it still very rich in the 10's. so im pretty happy with that for a stock 2j with bolt on's. im thinking i might go to the track with this tune and see how it goes then pull it apart to move the gate for the final tune with more boost and limiter set much higher. its so hard not to hit the limiter and i keep for getting to change gears before i hit it but im sure ill get use to it for now. BAZR33- interested in coming up to the track one night soon for abit of a play?

23rd March 2010 - 12:00 AM  Reply  Quote

pig060- 411rwhp pretty awesome at 6500rpm.
I'll definetly come to the track and watch. I would like to get my injectors, speed limiter cut and my bigger wastegate spring installed before I hit the track again.
Just don't think my times are going to improve till i get those things sorted. Definetly let us now when you head down though!!!

I think 1/8 track I was doin 85mph (140) and thats when it kinda wasn't pulling as hard or felt like it was backing off.
Could be speed sensor on gearbox or something? could be boost not holding, or SAFC ( not enough fuel)
I don't kno something that needs to be looked at, but will be very soonish.

I have now got a boost gauge, a air/fuel raio gauge.
550cc injectors are on the way, supra intake cam on its way, im currently gettin a pivot speed limiter cut
we be organising install within two weeks and bit of a tweak and im off to the track again.

23rd March 2010 - 03:33 AM  Reply  Quote

yeah ill let you know when i go up. ive got a spare speed sensor if you need to ever try one. should be good fun once we all have our cars going
oh and you need a bigger converter. thats how long it took my car to make boost to skid but with a 2800. you need around a 3500 i reckon for the street.
