The SC46 is going in my 2.5 JDM STI MY04. Since I want to keep a "stock look" in the engine bay, I'm gonna keep the TMIC, at least for now..
Yes yes yes I know, but in a land where modifying cars is considered a bigger crime than robbing a store (well, more or less.... ), you tend to go the easier way and make it look like nothing's been touched. After all, I'm not the young rebel anymore...
So stock TMIC, EcuTek and thereby MAF although in a bigger tube, and of course other supporting mods.
Running on Vpower it's currently pushing about 430bhp/460lbft @ 1.6bar, and the only way is up, right !?

the 46 Billet works very well on the 2.5 ltr engines, that said its smaller brother the SC36 Billet is amazing on the road fitted to a 2.5ltr engine, it spools on tickover,
The one we did last week wouldnt do any less than 360BHP and at one stage, just as a quick test, we turned up the wick and saw 400 BHP.
Not bad from a direct fit 16 G Billet turbo, it would be nigh on impossible to tell its been changed, same as the SC46 Billet they really are stealth mods.
Cheers

We have the same crazy laws against modifying cars in Denmark, even a FMIC is a no go here 
The trick is to keep the oe look

Your turbo goes today, awaiting courier now, and should be at your local post office before Xmas. They have your phone number on the box.

If the DV's vac pipe goes directly to the IM, then remove fully from the manifold, and plug the manifold nipple with something suitable...

If the DV's vac pipe happens to join to a 3-way T-piece, then remove the T-piece and make good the connection for the remaining two bits of vac pipe (by using a 2-way straight coupler, or replacing both pipes with a new longer single piece).

Hi,
saved me a job.
Alternativly you could paint it gold and hang it from your aerial as a festive gesture.

just quoted myself to remind everyone the graphs bellow are in relation to the post above.
power at the wheels showing boost and afr.
Only just thawed out the printer and found the minimum power we could get the 36 Billet to do on this 2.5 hawkeye was actually 378.4 BHP not 360 BHP as I mentioned earlier.
Spool on the road was 800 RPM sooner, what a great result.
cheers

360 BHP should be no probs, add 20% meths and 400 BHP should be on the table.
On the car above we did give it a little squirt as a test, 400 BHP appeared on the screen.

Kev,
Great results.
Is there a particular reason why the AFR is getting progressively richer? I am currently doing a dyno tuners course(not EFI 101 but at a trade school in Australia) and the method being taught is to go leaner after max load. Looking at my AFR's from when Andy F mapped my car he also leans out after max load.
Great results.

Hi,
its rich at the top because its a standard 2.5 with the hypereutectic pistons, we add fuel at the top on these engines in an attempt to cool the cylinders and stop the pistons blowing out a land or melting.
Hope that explains it a little.
cheers

Hi Shaun,
due to snow we have not been able to get any customers in or out for a week, now the snow has started to subside we have been inundated with jobs from last week turning up on top of jobs from this week so time has become an issue.
Soon as we get back on top of the work load we will get a Billet blower on there and see how it goes.
The test was always intended to be a comparison, the term back to back was taken out of context.
Never mind, onwards and upwards, as they say.
Got some new interesting turbo developments & testing to come, new Garratt Billets and something with a titanium exhaust wheel.
Now wheres me tin hat.
cheers

Any chance these titanium wheels will be making a SC46 or other twin scroll appearance that I should hold out for
