.....

It is not safe to run single on a GT35R on a stock ecu.

10psi on a GT35R does not equal to 10 psi on stock twins.

Take the valve seat out of the wastegate if you're running a Tial unit, and keep your foot out of the gas. Better yet drive your DD...

What are all the mods you have on the car? Why would you do this without knowing what you need to run it properly?

this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, just b/c you got a good deal on it doesn't mean you should throw it in without the supporting mods.What went wrong with the sequentials?

I wouldnt. Thats just asking for a problem. Do you have any clue what all is truely involved in doing a proper single turbo swap? Especially with the size of the 35R. You will need a larger fuel pump, larger injectors, ecu, ecu tune just to name a few.

If you fail to do these and boost on an untuned set up, or boost on the stock ecu you will blow the motor. Guaranteed.

Cgotto is right.

Do NOT Drive the car with that turbo on it, full stop. Even 1psi on that turbo does not equal 1psi on the stock twins, the amount of airflow is totally different - since the car uses the boost PRESSURE to determine how much fuel to put in the car will be running lean even at 1psi.

The car is a guarenteed bomb driven AT ALL in its current state. Fit the turbo kit, upgrade the fuel pump, fuel lines, get a 1680cc top feed injector kit, and a PFC. Then and ONLY then can you get the car TRAILORED to get it mapped and then start to have fun..

Seriously dude, its not worth it. Drive the car in its current state and you WILL blow the motor - which will cost you more than buying the parts to fit so you can drive it safely.

Do the sensible thing. Dont fit that downpipe so you cant be tempted to drive it. Trust us!

You do realize that 10 psi on one turbo and 10 psi on another turbo are different correct. They boost the same pressure, but volume of air flow is darastically increased, as in the difference between the stock twins and a 35r.

The FD is based on a MAP system rather than a MAF system. So, the ecu is in a way is tuned to a preset fuel map according what the boost pressure is at the manifold. All of the maps are configured using the performance of the stock twins.

A power fc in the untuned form is only good to handle the stock twins with bolt ons, not a single turbo.

8psi will blow your motor.

probably 2psi will blow your motor on that turbo, and from reading your posts i KNOW you wont be able to stick to 2psi..

Seriously, i hate to tell you this, but you NEED to buy the supporting mods before you drive it or youll have a big bill on your hands. If you MUST drive the car, buy a junk set of second hand twins or get yours rebuilt until you can afford the rest of the supporting mods.

you need to jump down to the single turbo threads..and do some research...
driving that car with a stock ecu....you might as well play russian roulette with 6 bullets....
the single turbo isn't a replacement for stock turbos...its a upgrade, that needs supporting upgrades also...
good luck

I could be way off here but having been to the dyno site and que-ing up all of the 10psi dynos they all had similar peak hp. If his AFRs stay low and his injector duty stays low i don't see why he couldn't run ~10lbs all day long. That said i would remedy the fuel delivery problem as quickly as possible.


http://71.102.125.165/graph.php?car2...1&SUBMIT=GRAPH

EDIT: jacobcarmill just put down 265rwhp with stock twins, stock ic, stock ecu. That beats out the blue car (#155) running a garrett t-66 @ 10psi.
