That's it. LA dry sleeves. I would rather just fix it right the first time. We need 3 more people.

Already been done

Yeah I really think the solution is gonna be the "hoops" not just wire "fire rings". The way they are going to press the gasket into the boss almost makes it impossible to push coolant.

Try it and let’s us know. That statement is just paper weight

Theres been a lot of talk about those lately. I think theres a few guys with builds in the works with them. Hopefully it works out in the long term. 1000hp is hilariously easy for a VQ to make, if only they could hold it for a day.

I don't have that problem yet, but I'm in the works of heading that way. I won't push over 650whp for at least another year. I just spent $15k on a setup and would really like to drive it for a year first. But by the time I'm ready, I really do think this will have proved itself.

REally hope you consider a stand-alone

Wish I was building for big power now

Yeap, if you open up a channel and log Coolant pressure we can get lots more data on the problem. No need for all this damn guessing.
You can't do that with Ecuteck or Uprev. I may wait and get my Motec up and running before I do anything.

Why are you saying I need a stand-alone?

Me and couple others are taking the leap to a full stand-alone

I dont see why you couldnt log coolant pressure with ECUTEK. Could probably bring that in through the fuel temp sensor wire. I dont know if I see large benefits to it. You can sort of consider the coolant blasting out of the overflow as your peak hold gauge for that.

[QUOTE=hustleman222;3894387] With all that money you’re throwing into that motor. I don’t believe Ecu tek or uprev is the best option. If you have a gtr it would be a different story with Ecu tek. Why wouldn’t you want to protect your 15k investment. Real traction control, real boost control, all the safety features, tuning capabilities.

I want to keep track of my turbo speed. To fine tune boost in the lower rpms.

Custom maps you can get pretty creative.

I don't know if you can or can't with Ecuteck. You can acutally make the car shutoff if the coolant pressure is exceeded to save any damage. What I see is you will be able to tell if you have an issue before you pop the headgaskets or push coolant out the overflow. I watched a video of Jay from Real St. talk about the switch to a billet 2JZ. He did say what the coolant pressure was on the cast block and with their new billet block. I don't remember the numbers but it was an eye opener.

I mean, I suppose I would find the data interesting at the least. If I was trying to protect a billet block from taking damage maybe I would be more on board with it. But on a stock block, I wouldnt care. About to leak or already leaking is the same thing to me, just a failed attempt that needs to be built again.

Here, Mazworx built their billet block.

I emailed Ecu tek about about logging capabilities all they said was go into custom maps. To me it sounded like R&D it yourself and once you figure it out let us know.

I have the actual paperwork from them on it. I will take a look later. I havent looked at that yet. I bet it's no big deal. It doesnt surprise me that they wouldnt make a big effort into explaining it via email... it may very well already be explained in the paperwork, and if its not, explaining it to a customer is not a very good use of time since you dont have access to the software to do it anyway :shrug:

I was pushing coolant at 625 :shakes head:

I agree, You cant put down all the power in first or second anyways. You need to control the boost in first, ramp up in second and full out in third. I will be investing after I rebuild my engine.

Hmm, something was wrong with your tune then. Too much timing. I would use a different tuner. My .02cts

My question was a bit vague. I’ll rephrase it, I want the ability to mat it in 1st-3rd on street tires without roasting the tires. Closest thing that my car will see to drag racing is 1/2 mile roll racing. My car build is directly around road racing, the less I have to think and/or to do on the track the more I can concentrate on laying down faster lap times. The most advance race cars in the world use motec or some other type of stand-alone for TC. For me, I’ve not seen any body take the factory Ecu to any heights that would hold me back from wanting a stand alone. I hope others tuners within the next year or so can come up with something other then flamp maps, pops and bang tunes.

I Here turns down the sensitivity on the knock sensors, well that’s what was said between him and another tuner feuding on FB.

You care to take a picture of your knock sensitivity, just for my curiosity.

Seb had my boost come in soft for the stock rods, feels and runs great maybe a tad laggy while shifting but it is safer that way
