Fitted a boost guage today as I have a boost controler to be fitted.

Now I have read a few mixed reports on what the standard boost level is.

My car is 100% stock - not even a filter fitted yet, and its running 1bar (14psi) and trailing down to 0.8 right at the top of the rev range...

Is that normal? What are others experiences?

I was planning on using the boost controller to get it to 1bar, but I dont need it! haha

I am also planning on getting an exhaust with my tax return. Im pretty keen on a Fujitsubo Legalis - as I had one on my C34, it was great without drone, good flow and a nice sound when you gave it a boot-full. Does anyone have any opinions or have a Legalis on their M35?

Cheers,

Ben.

where did you place it.....pic's!!!

1 bar and then bleeding back off to .8 is normal.

As far as exhaust systems go I have not heard a Legalis.......but I have heard Charlstones Exhaust(Sydney) and they sound pretty good....no drone.

I have a Legalis and so does my mate.

The difference is that he is running the stock front pipe whereas I have an 80mm Kakimoto front pipe.

I can post you a vid of my mates Legalis (haven't recorded mine yet).

I CAN tell you that they have a veeeery nice burble but are damn quiet.

The Legalis does get a bit louder when you get up in the rev range but sounds ace all the time.

If you want the vid, PM me your email address. I will try to capture mine this weekend and send that so you can hear the difference with the front pipe.

No drone, great sound, quiet and high flowing... oh, and the quality is amazing.

Cannot speak highly enough of it.

thanks for all the replies!

Im on the northern beaches, but am happy to drive out to meet and hear the car in person.

Im always keen to see/hear your videos too!

One other question, can anyone recommend a store/web store to purchase one through. Have seen few sites selling the, but always prefer to hear where/who you got yours from.

Cheers,

Ben.

No worries Ben.

I bought mine through RMS Motorparts

Henry is great to deal with and his prices are pretty good.

RHD Japan are phenomenal to deal with for anything new.

I am sure that if you contacted Aaron at Import Monster, he could find you a decent price via his wholesaler.

Or you could look at Nengun who can also ship it to your door.

they sound very similar, i guess higher up in the rev range and with a bit of load there might be a difference. the second one is slightly different, but id put that down to it not being at operating temperature

thanks for posting those vids up iamhe77

Yeah Legalis looks the goods, sits nice and high up into the body too - standard one is very low and sometimes hits the ground when coming out of driveways etc.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
