lol yehhhhmellow.gif

i liked it, mine doesnt feel to jittery

yeh it doesnt do anything.. but i figured out full time RWD read the attesa thread.

yeah i saw that

i'd jack the car up all round (a la hover stagea) and see if the fronts are turning at all

this will tell you if its taking all the pressure out of the transfer case

we need to change the title of this thread to "fixed the slow takeoff issue!" haha :)

so on a normal car like mine.. and someone who isnt really interested in stalling it up are there any gains from this mod if you just like to nail it off the line?

Short answer, YES !

Edit: OK, see Aaron's answer above for a slightly longer version :)

an even longer version is this

after a couple of hundred Km of driving, you'll notice your boost will drop, and perhaps other stuff.

you can get around it by putting in a momentary switch in line, press the switch, tap the brake, and your off again.

similar to what leons done!

I tuned in this "limp" styled mode, and its heaps better lol

Should I even bother with this? Did you and Scott put a switch in?

nah dont worry about a switch with the emanage. just go for another tune once you notice the weird limp mode. or when you next mod something.

i dont think scott put a switch in yours, i we definitely didnt in ours.

hmm.. so there is some sort of limp mode enacted? thats odd.. i might just solder on some connectors so i can rejoin it if required.. the ECU is mounted vertically on the wall of the chasis by the passengers feet isnt it?

yup. just infront of, not to the side. the one to the side is the Trans ecu

while we are on the topic of emanages.. do you have to run the ultimate on the m35? is the factory tune aggressive at all or very safe? considering i run LLPG injection and an exhaust i am trying to work out if its worth my time putting one in..

how hard is the install and tune?

the only other mod i am interested in is high flowing the turbo when and if it dies :)

appreciate your help.

hmm, if your car is running fine now on LLPG, and your car is fairly stock, I wouldn't recommend going Emanage.

My car was running pretty good on LPG after the conversion but after installing Emanage and getting it tuned the changeover process turned to shit.

This is not the tuner's or the Emanage's fault. I think the LPG system is tuned to run fairly rich to start with to eliminate any fuel feed issues.

However once the emanage is in and the car is tuned and the mixtures are leaned out, that's when issues starts to happen.

Pretty much everytime I start my car, and the gas kicks in the engine would stall or suffer from fuel starvation (engine is barely turning over and even if you floor the pedal it won't rev at all, the AFR goes out the roof). This issue occurs almost 100% on hot days and after you've driven you car for a while (i.e. the engine is hot).

However, on very cold mornings the car usually kicks over to gas perfectly. Which leads me to believe that due to the nature of LiLPG, its most likely that my feed issues are stemming from the fuel evaporating in the fuel lines?

Anyway, I've discussed this with Seaview Gas Conversion - the same mob that did our cars. They asked me to go visit APS performance (across the road) and get the car on a dyno so they can do some checks. I'll also be asking them to fit in the biggest f**king fuel jets available as my current ones are restricting me to 250awkw....(even less as when I had the car retuned last month Cihan said the AFRs are all over the place and couldn't tune it safely over 5k rpm).

hmm interesting.. let me know how you go on the dyno.

my car is kind of the other way round.. on cold mornings less than approx 7c on cutover it will almost stall and sometimes does.. on hot days cutover is much better and pretty much seamless.

i took it to the snow a month ago and to avoid the issue i simply manually cut back to fuel before stopping the car.. then drove it for about 5 mins before manual cutting back to LPG..

All in all i am very happy with the LiLPG car goes real well only criticisms is i only get about 230-250's per tank (all traffic) and i get a gas smell when i use the heater.. (need to take it back and find the leak).

But all this aside i want some more grunt!! bleed valve is coming going to set to 1bar so that might tie me over for a bit :)

I get the same issues, except I barely get 200km out of a tank. 230-250 is pretty good LOL....

And yes I'm getting the gas smell when I use the heater...wtf??? coincidence!??!

gotta be a minor leak in the engine bay.. gonna get out the suds this weekend :) (spray some soapy water on the fittings while the engine is running and you will get bubbles if its leaking).

I actually get 14L per 100 on the freeway! wrapped about that.. though urban is shite!

Though filling up at 51c per litre i cant complain!

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
