Agreed.... Those upper oil lines can be a PITA.

I will take a couple snaps of my car today, as the left side(hardest side) is almost completed. The turbo is mounted, collector is finished, and the runners should be finished today. Oil lines will be done when we slap in the 850cc injectors. This is probably the best time to remove the intake pipe as well. We also decided to put the turbo in the stock(ish) location, that along with an included adapter flage bolts up to the stock type exhaust. The "easiest" thing to do is place the turbos and build an exhaust around it. Also, you should't have to cut or modify any of the inner fenders or liners. If it fits on my car with the 20X12, it should fit on any car

You can make your car start drive and cruse like a new 997tt with huge power with the stock ECU, but a piggy back or stand alone opens up some fun doors.(gear dependent boost, anti-lag, traction control, launch control, ect)

 

justin , when you say standalone does the car need the stock ecu inorder for it to work properly ? if so then i believe it is not a true stand alone ! when you do them in supras there not dependant on the stock ecu correct ?

 

The answers I was looking for thank you




Im just trying to find out the limits of the stock components and the HP goal is of course what ever the GT28 will pump out ..


If a "stand alone" requires the stock ECU to stay in place than I would still consider it a piggy back. If your running a full stand alone engine managment your stock ECU is in the tool box.

And there is a 150 different types of stand alones out there that will work on any car you just have to go through and wire it correctly unless some one has gone through the wiring diagram and created a plug and play.

 

There is also some boost controllers out there that allow you to adjust boost per RPM or gear like the Apex AVC-R

 

indeed, i would call it a piggy back also.

 

I hope you dont drag *** on this cause I wanna race. (ill even let you pick your maker out of the garage) John Deer not included.


And look into water/methanol injection if your set on GT28's. You can get numbers close to race gas and only comes on when you need it.

 

What material is the stock exhaust manifold made out of?

Is there a room for an adapter flange to convert it to a T3?

 

That entirely depends if you ever want to pass emissions or be able to find an error with a sensor. If I do it as a "true standalone" as you guys mention, you will get no CEL if something goes awry. Additionally, if you go to get a state inspection/registration(in all states in a couple of years), if they are unable to connect to the OBD portion of the factory ECU, you fail. That would suck

Can I run sans stock ecu? Sure, why not. But why? I can EASILY run the DBW, and the dash functions could be output on a datastream of certain aftermarket ecu's. Again, I ask, why?

What I have done is integrated a standalone, in true standalone function, into the stock wiring and dash. There is nothing piggy back about it, and actually, the stock ecu is piggybacking off of the "standalone". I'll explain.

The stock ecu algorithm for the DBW is an intense algorithm based on MANY other factors, and when at all possible, I would suggest the stock ecu be the controlling factor in this. To each their own. I also still prefer to have a failsafe for the "oops" factor in a high hp car... DBW traction control is still functioning. The aftermarket ecu is controlling every function of the car as far as ignition timing and fuel delivery is concerned. It is not modifying a stock signal input or output by the stock pcm whatsoever. It is "standing alone" in every aspect of how the engine is run, with the additional benefits dictated from a stock pcm(gas mileage still functions), traction control, secondary air, DBW, dash, a/c, etc. The MAF can be deleted(I am ouputting a MAF signal and Pressure signal to the pcm), as can the convoluted intake piping to the turbos. I would like to go into all of the specifics, but that will have to wait for a later date

If you are asking if I will actually delete the factory pcm, the answer is no as I personally still intend to pass emissions. If you are asking if I can, the answer is yes.

From now on, I might start using the phrase "Independant, Fully Controllable MAF deletable Tuning Option using the stock pcm to pass emissions and control DBW". or "IFCMDTOUTSPTPEACD"(tm)

I might still end up doing a reflash to change the DBW algorithm, and a few other things... as far as tuning options go, the "IFCMDTOUTSPTPEACD"(tm) is just another option. I still summise that for the MAJORITY of Porsche owners, the factory PCM reflash is the way to go.
