10 points to who ever guess' what I am doing, and f**k me its a pain in the arse, fiddle job. I have been on this for 3 hours, and i have snapped bolts, cracked fingers used heaps of this really cool goo that will loosen any bolt.

Oh and the turbo is stock as a rock (ceramic exahust wheel and its got about 1 mill movement too)

Any way here are the pics of the job... not dialup friendly

you were getting a bit scared i would beat you ay snooze had to go and put a bigger snail on :D what you replacing it with or just getting it highflowed ???

GET A T51R BRO IT WILL PULL LIKE 1000KW :O

well that is unless i am way off track and you went to all that effort just to put a shiney new dump pipe on :D

Ohh haha i just had my dump/front pipe installed as i knew i'd break shit and it would cost me more in time and effort then it would to get my mechanic to do it... sure enough, they broke bolts, had to drill them out... glad i didnt do it :(

All you need is a hammer, a tub of supaglue and a can of WD40.

If it moves and its not meant to - glue it up.

If it doesn't move and it is meant to - squirt it with WD40.

And if all else fails hammer the sh#t out of it, this doesn't make it work, but it makes you feel better.

Ah ok well all i have to say is $35 boost controller GET IT!!!

i shit you not best boost controller i have ever owned... all be it only the second one but still IT ROCKS!!! holds boost so well i could not believe it max i have seen it spike is 1 psi, max loss was .5 psi. I have only had it on for about 4 days now but have been doing a bit of testing and it is great. For $35 though best cheap mod ever :(

nah still using stock turbo and wastegate, I heat rapped the split dump too, still f**king boost spikes though

I am more worried about stevie's beast........

I agree with Leech on the boost controller. That Turbotech mbc has to be the best bang for buck thing I ever bought for my S14. Amazing mbc with no spiking. Moved my boost from 0.55 to 0.8 bar and boost was smoother, came on earlier, and the car went so much faster!

I miss my S14! :drag:

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
