Have just got my hands on a Vf35 to fit on ukmy00, i dont want to go forged and was just wondering what sort of power i can extract from my car. Spoken to JGM and he says its good for just over 300bhp, but really was hoping for 330 ish. Does anyone know what i can do to achieve this kinda figure on this turbo? Regards joe

See my profile

you should gain 330hp with supporting mods i would of thought.

my00 uk 332bhp 285lb/ft spec as follows..
vf35 @1.5bar on ome 3 port control
hdi fmic with nissan ome recurc d/v
walbro 255 fuel pump
440s @ 3.5bar on paralleled rails
3"hks dragger exhaust
ported ome headers/uppipe
k&n 57i induction
pfr7 plugs 0.65 gap
ecutek by jgm
very similar to NS04s
so dep on supporting mods power will be betweeen 300- 340bhp

I've just finished fitting all the bits to my MY00

VF35
Apexi Power FC
using std 440's
255l fuel pump
HKS 3 layer panel filter
Open neck downpipe and magnex system
3 port Apexi boost solenoid
PFR7b's

It's being mapped by JGM next Monday and I was hoping for more than 300bhp.. only because my RA made 301bhp on Zen's rollers and that's had hardly anything done apart from a generic scoobyecu, exhaust and k&N panel and it's only running 1bar and quite rich/safe on the AFR!

At the end of the day though as long as it goes like **** off a shovel I'll be happy, it'll probably never go on the rollers.. I'd imagine the old girl is in for a shock though as she's been running completely std 215bhp for 8 years..

just interested why you have gone for a power fc on a my00 car and not a ecutek remap??

My spec is
Vf35
Open neck downpipe
2.5 Magnex system - no cats
Panel filter
Walbro 225l fuel pump
Ecutek softwear and psi3

Everything else is standard. JGM says intercooler and injectors will be fine.

Just a quick question to those running circa 300 bhp how does it compare to other cars on the road? my last car was a 310bhp seat ibiza and that was barmy, problem was it was fwd hence why i got rid a opted for an impreza

Im another with a MY00 with a VF35 with 300bhp+, I went for a Apexi PFC ecu over a Ecutek as you get the Commander which displays useful engine info and should you ever want to go back to standard a 2nd hand Apexi is still worth £300.

Ive never been overtaken (when having a little blast) by another car since my remap 18 months ago, its quicker than a Boxster, Cayman and BMW 650i, but I could not get past a fire breathing Evo6 and rather surprisingly a VW G60 Corrado (it was bizarrely quick!!).

440 injectors are fine, as is the standard top mount intercooler.

Hows your gearbox? Mine went pop just 2 weeks after remap.

Have a look @ my profile m8 for mods.

350bhp 340lb ft from a VF35

Some pretty good results there guys its looking rather promising.
PETEDOTUK - There good figures that you've got there mate mapped by andy f eh.
Gearbox seems ok but i guess ill only know once its been mapped and driven.
By the looks of it 330 is quite achievable with my spec.

What are the benefits of fitting a 3 port boost solenoid?

Regarding 'why' on the power FC..

Exactly as movi-star said, I love them for the data display and it's still worth the same if/when you break the car back to STD to sell.

fair play guys i thought it was the commander, i have a ae801 ecu i can put in mine if wanting to return to standard so never thought about the resale point!!!
a lot cheaper than buying a avcr & psi3 as well!!!
petedotuk that is good figures on vf35 but your base is an sti and new age!!!!

When I had mine remapped at Zen he said a 3-port BS is not needed at this level of modification.

this is true but while mapping anyway the 3 port has better control and is a lot less prone to clogging of breathers (2 ports req cleaning a lot!!)

When I went to Zen recently Paul said virtually the same. The 3 port will control the boost alot better than a 2 port and stop any major spikes. Little example, from my first Apexi PFC re - map my car was mapped at 1.3bar with the VF35, Walbro fuel pump and standard 380 injectors. On the motorway and planted my foot in 5th gear. Boost hit 1.54 bar and then all of a sudden, boost cut!! Not a nice feeling at all.

Iv now had fitted a Turbo Smart 3 port, Hybrid FMIC and 440`s and the boost is currently mapped to 1.4bar. Planted my foot in 5th gear and the boost held nicely and only peaked at 1.42bar. Approximatly running around 320bhp with the injectors running at 80%, so still room for more

Joe2000, IMO a 300+bhp car is enough for UK roads. There will be few cars out there that will cause you problems ......I havnt had any yet

petedotuk

does he not have VVT??? not too clued up on the classics to be honest. I thought if it is VVT then power would be very similar

Tidgy

around 330ish on a classic, vf34 will hit around 340ish on same car.
