is 350wrhp on stock ecu possible?

Just wondering if anyone ever achieved about 350whp using a stock ECU, with a piggyback.

Im looking for some info, like what kinda turbo was used, injector size, boost levels, a/f ratio, dyno graphs, and which piggyback system? also how realiable was this setup, could it ever get properly tuned to achieve a desirable A/f ratio?

thanks guys!

Yikes, that is a big order. It's probably possible, but of corse it won't run good. It would have a big stumble when the secondaries came on. A piggyback just isn't advanced enough to smooth that transition out. A/F ratio tunning might be a challenge.

720 primaries
1600 secodaries
To4
15psi
FMIC

I believe it has been done before. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the e-manage guys (dale....anyone else?) managed to put down 350rwhp. It's a little more complicated of a band aid than a safc though.

It is probably possible but it wouldn't run as well as an aftermarket would.

Since your going to be running a FCD and will need to manipulate the fuel. A street port/BP and a bigger turbo would get you there.

why spend all the money on the electronics you'd need when you could probably spend less and get a standalone?

im not really looking into buying all these little electronic band-aids in place of an EMS. im just looking for the right combination of items, along with a stock ECU that will net somewhere around 350whp. along with reliability.

can't be done without anything else to control fuel, Or by getting your ECU reprogrammed with that kind of potential in mind. The stock computer does not have maps for anything above ~9psi! There is no timming map nor is there a fuel map above that either! It can't be done!

Nitrous oxide... No effect on stock ECU.

Everyone keeps making these statements about the fuel maps. Can anyone give me proof that fuel maps are effected by boost signal? I have only seen analysis which states that an FCD only affects the timing retard, not fuelling.

well ok, reprogrammed stock ECU is within the region. Let me rephrase my ques.

is it possible making 350whp without a full EMS.??

lol .. 350rwhp wont be hard ... ****, jerkracer was running what 330 on a bnr upgraded turbo ... buy some 850cc secondaries, get a s-afc, port the motor (just do it!!), upgrade the turbo, and get a front mount. BAM...

hell in all honesty, you could get a front mount, upgrade the turbo, bigger injectors and a s-afc. That would get you there.

As for boosting past 9psi.. i boosted 15 psi for quite awhile.. i dont recommend past 11 though.. but it ran fine on 15 psi with no real fuel mods

scathcart don't you have to add more fuel to compensate for the N20? I mean the stock computer wouldn't know, you would have to have some way to compensate? Am I wrong?

Wet kit just injects it completely bypassing the stock injectors. Has no effect on running condition of the ECU. The rules are stock ECU, not stock fuel system.

There is an upgraded ECU for like $90 now that gets rid of fuel cut and I would think it would be better for this application than the standard FCD. An S-AFC with 720 primaries/850 secondaries or even all 850s should work I think. Will help with the transition. A T04, fmic and fuel pump should be able to get you there I think.

I'm going to have to disagree.
E-manage could handle it quite easily and be just as reliable as any other EMS. S-AFC would come close as well.

I agree with Scathcart, the E-manage is very powerful when wired in properly! It could handle that much power easily. The safc would do it also but not at the same efficiency!

Yeah, it wouldn't make as much power. Stock timing maps.

Well ok for the exception of the E Manage yes I also agree, but the S-AFC its still limited

Its only limited only on timing and mximum injector size.
You could compensate by adding MSD boxes and then setting your timing with an MSD pc-programmable unit.

You could also use a RRFPR with decent results, an steady-set FMU if your fuel pump can handle it, or an additional injector controller. All would be very reliable and meet the goal.

I'm abit surprised that Kurts track prepped 7 Is not getting more attention. Considering It's running on a stock ECU. 426hp Isn't good enough?
