Lets try this again, Wondering how I made the horse power that I made? Or just have questions about full stand alone ECU or anything related to the power plant on this car? More than likely I have an answer. Everything from custom brakes to custom motors, to include cams, valves, rods, pistons, Sheet metal intake manifolds, Injectors and so fourth. I know some of you had some questions about the set up. I"ve clocked alot of hours and countless business friends from the manufacturing world when it came to the 1st gen XB. Forced induction is great but it sucks when you have to run a piggyback to try and make it all come together. Lets keep this one on topic. If Idont have the answer I know someone who does. This is not to say I know everybody but I know quite a few people on the actual machining end of most of the major manufactures. If you need custom parts machined got you covered their too. I've put boost to this motor both by supercharger, Turbo and nitrous. For you supercharger fans, hands down Blitz has the highest quality supercharger available. Turbo guys and gals lots of options just need to know a direction for you. Again You have a question related to this (1NZ-FE) I'm all ears.

 

How much did you put down?

And it's grammar, just a fyi.

Welcome back, dude. Hope things get off on the right foot this time.

 

Me too.

I think people have the most questions about the ECU...What is your cel status?

 

Ok my CEL status is none. When I had My Stand alone installed, my old ecu and wiring came out. I had a complete new wiring harness made for my new ECU. So as it stands I have no factory anything involved with my set-up. By doing it this way I have total control over everything and nothing trying to send false or bad signals. My set-up is as follows:

Microtec LT10 Engine management.
Microtech Ignition system.
Bosch coil packs
Electromotive crank trigger wheel or some call it a exciter ring.
Electromotive magnetic sensor for crank trigger
MSD Honda wires for a Integra
NGK ( BKR7E) gap .28 standard copper plug

This is my entire set-up for tunning. I have no MAF sensor, it's not necessary for Microtech. There is a aux feed out on the Micrtech to tell the VVTI when to engauge. You can now turn the VVTI on when you want at your desired RPM range. Also I have my car redlining ar 7500 rpm. Make sure you build the head totally. You don't want to float a valve.

go to www.micrtechefi.com and you can see all they offer. They are out of Australlia.

Being up front with you on a difficulty level, this sytem is not for the average tunner. It will require making a bracket for the magnetic sensor to read the crank trigger wheel and someone well versed in wiring diagrams and or ecu pin-outs.

If you want total control with no bullshiz involved with your tuneability this is a way to go. This system took 2 years to develop and to work the kinks out of.

Greddy blue is ok if your not building power. Greddy Ultimate a little better but not much and gives you CEL codes like it's cool. I spent hours on the phone with Kenji at Greddy in CA. in 06 trying to get the bugs worked out with their system but never got it quite right. This is when I got with Rolo at CFT and the fun began.

Anyways there it is, my engine management laid out for all to see.

 

Awesome info! Thanks!

Just head work to get this kind of RPM? Please say yes lol. I thought the rods in our engines were a little weak, but I'm running stock lower end in my race VW with just head work, double race springs and I've reved over 8500 a few times on accident before I got a rev limiter

Plan to boost soon on the B, so thanks again for letting us copy your homework.

 

that was some great new info....as there have never been in the past a reliable solid work around for the ECU before

 

Driver Lost - are you saying that there is NO REV LIMITER in the stock xB ecu? (2006 1st Gen) . . . this would be a good thing to know! If no rev limiter then at what RPM do bad things start to happen?

 

For driver LOST On your stock ECU in your 06 there is a built in rev limiter. You'll notice around 5500 rpm give or take a couple of hundred. the stock ECU will start to kick you back down. This is not to say you can't spike it higher, I've seen stranger things happen.

Again this set up is designed for you all out race freaks that demand the tuneability.

This is no easy set-up, so approach with patience.

 

Thanks xbgod - I thought it had one and I have been a little over 6k usually on an up hill pull in 2nd gear and mine ran nice and smooth. The Needle reads a little higher than the peak RPM reading I get on the ScanGaugeII.

Sounds like you have a great solution by just swapping out the ECU with one that can handle the performance you want. Nice going.

 

Also lets talk to our friends that have automatics. I orginaly had a automatic in my XB. This system was put on when I had a auto tranny. Now with that in mind those that want to boost but have a auto tranny you can run the system as long as you tie into your stock ECU with the Microtech. You will use only the the shift points of your stock ECU to tell your auto tranny when to shift. But Microtech will still have full control of everything else.

I now have a manual in my car now wich obviously works better, because you have control of your shift points.I highly recomend you run manual set up. Tranny swap was a pain in the butt 16 hrs. in labor with the proper tools on hand.

 

Want a big bore throttle bodie for your XB? Also a Sheet metal intake manifold?

Do I have your attention now?

1st gen XB people, here we go. The home work is done once again for you.


Step one: Buy a Weapon-R sheet metal aluminum intake manifold
Step Two: Buy a Edelbrock Victor X T.B. 70mm 350-3811
Step three: Buy a Edelbrock Victor T.B. adapter flange 3811
Step four: Plasma cut the flange off the Weapon-r intake
Step five: Weld new flange on to desired angle.
Step six: Bolt on new T.B
Step seven: wire up new TPS ( included with T.B )

Note: may need to change voltage for new TPS and or pig tale.

Now you have a bad-azz sheet metal intake and a big bore T.B

Cost on project including labor: $1040.00 I know it's pricey, but if you want to play big it cost a little

Your Welcome

 

at what point did you need the to go to the bigger T.B.

 

Went to a biger T.B. when I went to a bigger turbo and a set of cams that could process more air. Orginaly I had a Greddy turbo kit no big deal but like anything else you want more when a little isn't enough. So now with the Tial/ Garret set up air flow is a must. I'm going for all out this time.

 

We're not going to have any more problems here, right guys?

 

Ok back to business, if you want a slightly bigger T.B. you can get one from Bill Gude Performance for 300.00 it will bolt right on and work just fine with your ECU. It's a stock T.B. thats been bored out and has larger butterfly in it. Not bad for the money. So there we go option two for those that don't need option one.

Good day guys

 

For those who are following this thread this is great information...tks
