boost controller i wouldnt go for anything other than a greddy profec b spec2 myself... very very easy to use

high and low setting, peak can flash after each squirt if u want, you can also hardwire it in to the car so its not visable just a button somwhere to go from high and low. BITSUS did a topic back a bit using his window de icing switch...

as for computers im unsure of whats out there for the m35s.. im sure somehing with the same engin would have somting out there.. cheer adam.

heys guys as the topic suggests , just wanna get an idea of which way to got without alot of mucking around

cheers

Your best EBC for the $ is the Jaycar IEBC. The 'cheapest' boost increase is to re-arrange the factory plumbing & use the original restrictor as a bleed.

I'm running an IEBC on my C34 (which will be dyno mapped Wednesday) currently at 0.6-0.65bar, an adjustable wastegate rod on my DR, and ECU-mapped on my Z. The IEBC brings the boost on much quicker than the others, and allows higher boost at quite low engine speeds. I plan on fitting the DR & Z with IEBC's as well - I think it will make quite a difference to the spool time of the 'big' TO3 on the FJ20, and more flexibility to the T3/T4 on the Z.

1) from the research ive done on the m35,an aftermarket piggy back computer (usual suspects like haltech etc may have something, havent looked into it that much) with boost control would probably be the best method (bear in mind the jacks would consider it "illegal" unless u can get one that can be locked after a tune and still meets emissions),this way the stock ecu can be used for idle ,shift logic in auto's etc. this way u can even up the afr and add some boost safely and u have the flexibility too add more mods in the future.

* My personal preference would be the Haltech Interceptor because it is a piggyback ecu ,has good customer support and a reasonable price mind u it doesnt have the functions of the more extreme ecu's.i dont know the models it supports though (damn adobe)

2) aftermarket boost control,there are about a billion types and everyone prefers one or another

* In my series 2 C34 Stagea i have the HDI SBC Type-D with boost gauge after a dyno run too check AFR's and dial in the two settings it has been perfect,i also installed it my self with little difficulty also at $370 odd bucks it is prcied well

just my 2 cents hope it helped a bit

How much boost do your want?

Do you realise that in sock form the car is already running 14-15psi.

The only benifit of a boost controller would be to get the boost to come on sooner.

That is unless you have already installed a high flowed turbo. In that case you will want one to get the boost to come on earlier.

andy yes i do realise stock boost is around the 15 mark i just wanted an idea of what would suit these types of cars better

cheers damo

I have heard that the Haltech has been fitted to the M35 successfully.

+1 to the HDI SBC Type-D with boost gauge. Performance Wise has them for only $345 incl. post - http://performance-wise.com/page42.htm

:wacko:

+1 for the Blitz profec B, had one and it was awesome. will be getting another one for this car

andy, with an EBC you can ramp the boost up and make it come on faster than stock, it doesnt only allow for adjustment. so its entirely possible there is a little more down the bottom. it kinda is a little laggy :woot:

i had a HKS EVC5 on my evo 8

works well

with full exhaust and boos i got 200kwatw

help 24psi of boost safely all the way to redline

EBC's seem to hold boost steadily through out the rev range compared to manual bleed valve etc

I'm getting a GReddy Profec B spec 2 installed on Wednesday. Looking forward to having it done, and will offer some feedback (and maybe dyno graphs if I decide to get them done) after that.

If you have a good Vipec/Link installer in your area get one and that will take care of everything including boost control.

For a stand alone boost controller you can't beat the Jaycar IEBC for effectiveness and price.

i was about to ask that question, i was a bit concerned when i saw the boost guage nudge 1 bar.

we always ran eboosts on Rb powered stuff with haltechs, microtechs and Apexis, but the M35 engine management with the automatic is a different animal. would definately have to be a piggy back controlling fuel and ignition only leaving factory ecu to control trans.

Profec B spec 2 is installed, here are the pre- and post-install graphs. Some tweaking to the PFC was done as well, and figures are measured at the rear wheels only...

EBC is very worthwhile. What other mods do you have?
EBC is very worthwhile. What other mods do you have?

Engine wise?

  • GReddy FMIC (return-feed style so the piping goes back through the standard holes);
  • APEXi PowerFC;
  • Walbro replacement fuel pump
  • bell-mouth style dump/front pipe
  • high-flow catalytic converter
  • 3" cat-back exhaust

I think that about covers the mods, other than the fact that my car is a manual, which may also account for a few extra kW...

Yesterday I drove it straight home from the workshop because I had no need or want to go anywhere (a trip of less than 10mins). Today I drove it around a fair bit, and only on the low boost setting (7psi, where it used to already run on 10psi before the EBC install). It goes almost as well on 7psi (notice that there's a difference of maybe 2kW peak power from the pre-EBC run on 10psi), but the way it comes on boost is smoother. When I take it for a drive on 10psi, I'll provide some more feedback on how it feels compared to before.

Okay, I've just driven the car on 10psi and gave it two good squirts.

Fffffffffaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkk!!!

I'm a happy boy! Better boost control and more power, how could I complain?

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
