So you getting scott to make you a adaptor too? :happy:

i hope so see when it is al done but i pretty much ordered the same turbo , didnt get a housing yet but wil prob copy scott :worship: as the tial housing is made for the garret gt30 series and been told it fits

the hdi intercooler

the kakimoto n1 mega

so will need dump pipe

race cat front pipe

adaptor or new manifold ( been told not to go that way )

suction pipe

ill sort this all but i might do the ecu first so any thing else i do after can go straight in with a tune each time or in one hit

il start a new build thread soon with pics of parts as they arrive and when i get em put in

Edited by Sidius

get a Tial Vband style.

easier to get a dump on there. 1 bolt instead of 5 lor 6 or how ever many there are.

and wouldnt spend the time in doing a manifold. its clear that our stock ones are supplying enough airflow.

OK so here I go.. apologies if this is a done and finished topic, but I noticed this topic appeared to be primarily for the VQ25.. what about the VQ35 ?

I am genuinely crap at researching, and keep stumbling on options for the turbo’d VQ25. I am always trying to refer to V35 threads as I understand that is close in many ways.

Can I do long tube headers, and is there a benefit over short tube headers in my case? What hi-flow cat options are recommended ? What size exhaust will be the sweet spot ? I understand that if and when I do any mods/upgrades, it needs to be able to exhale well to begin with, I am looking at the plenum spacers (happy for opinions and guidance) as I want to stay NA... and purely want to ensure the lovely can drive it without killing herself.

my belated Christmas wish (as a starting point) is full exhaust to suite my PNM35 ARX. I’m very late to the game, have already done suspension, brakes are up for discussion as well, as I want this little terror to stop as well is it handles as well as it goes in a straight line.

then sway bars are next... but baby steps for now.. I have been on this a couple of times and have found everyone super friendly and helpful over the times 

hope everyone has had a good Christmas

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
