haha dont hold back :(

i cracked up when i read this but it is great advice nonetheless

the way i see it, that response from brada31ke70 is like handing someone a $1000 invoice..... do it and its gonna cost you a crank grind, engine flush and new bearings... plus all the relevant labour...

Took of the oil hose to oil cooler, the one that goes the CORRECT way :D to oil pump. Got ~0.5 liter in there while cranking the engine backwards. It sucked the oil straight in. Connect hose back to oil cooler, and behold oil poured out at the turbo oil feed after 10 secs of cranking. ;):D:D

thanks for the help guys! ;)

good to hear mate!

Yes i agree with URAS, get into it, i started mine and drove to petrol station and drove straight out for a road tune on 12psi and was reving it as per normal straight away (well about 15km in oncei got to our tuning location), the thing has done 1200km now and leakdown and comp is spot on, with zero blowby. I kept the run in oil in up to 50km and changed it for new run in oil (same stuff just new batch) until 1000km even though i was pushing the motor hard upto 20psi boost and redline on lots of occasions.

I also plan just to warm her up, check for leaks etc. and get out on the road for tuning. Will only be running ~10 psi boost. After first day which will be about 1 hour total driving i'll change oil. again to mineral oil, and drive with that for the next 1500km.

Luckely i have the vi-pec so it will be a walk in the park to tune in. :-)

I'm a little excited about the difference in combusten if any..?? I have mounted a exhasut temp probe to each cylender. I'm using a copy of the greddy intake manifold.

dont let it idle on warm up...keep varying the throttle...the first 20 mins are vital.

and the rest uras. 1k would only apply if the owner did the r&r as u stated

yrs ago i used to read what body builders would do to get big, end result i have injured my back...good analogy?

roids make ur back sore? :down:

    • 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.
