All good mate , i wasnt bidding on it , couldnt afford it atm :)

Iain thats actually quite good , because i was going to get that exact same ecu the first time it was auctioned and no one bought it .. for $1250 without + shipping + charges. so you ended up knocking off $125 of the original auction price.

so all in all you did ok.

I was just about to PM Zebra about the E manage Ultimate -stuffed around checking on availability of harness so tooo slow all yours :worship: . Maybe I should offer 50 cents more?

haha those are my exact thoughts Keir! who tunes it?

emanage is easy, might take me 9 hours to get there, but time is cheap to me :worship:

im glad you werent bidding on the ECU mate, i needed it tho :)

got a long list of crap to buy now..........

lets say we have the harness though.. does that equate to the fcon v being an easier tune for the vq25det? or is it more knowledge and testing of the mappings that the tuner would have to know individually regardless?

Im not confident enough atm to invest in one unless someone says it can be done with x tuner for x amount. Unless you want to be the test dummy Gregg!? :D:)

i have however seen the harness advertised in many a yahoo auction for a reasonable price.

Not their best name though, Camp. lol.

The Ultimate will work well with the Nismo I think, are you copying Craig? I hope you learnt from his engine mishap. :)

It was the Impul ECU(doesn't seem to have boost cut ) + blocked off BOV(must have been pushing above 24PSI) + standard fuel pump + standard injectors + no tune all backed up with a H/F turbo with GT30/71 internals that blew mine......... :(:)

Not the Nismo!!!(Soon to be Nismo - EUS).....If I had of had that on I would never have blown it as it has boost cut.

@PetroDola: you would faint if you new how cheap I got my Nismo ECU!

Only the "Universal Harness" is suitable for the VQ25det.

Greddy decided not to make up an engine specific harness for it

Fcon will be much easier to tune for the VQ25det than the eManage as it has a selectable base map in the software which the tuner can then modify as required plus it "dictates" the tune to the engine instead of "modifying" it if you have the V-Pro (so eliminating the stubbornness of our ECU... in theory).

I am confident enough to be the guinea pig for an Fcon install... once I get a little more cash for the car (have to shell out around 3.5k for a slasher atm)

I may know someone... :(

Yes, indeed.

going to take it for a track day and tell us how she goes! sierra stage 1 hey .. sounds like GCG talk

I will do the drags again in the next few weeks when I get time.

Not GCG... Performance Turbo's in Sydney. Really good value IMHO.

From memory. 43mm Compressor wheel and can't remember the exhaust wheel but it is a bit bigger without being silly.

I am seeing around 4psi at 2200rpm so not too laggy.

Don't you mean Precision Turbo's in Sydney?

Damn Drugs....lol (and you think I am joking)

Yup.. they are the ones . Precision Turbo's (John)

That's the right info Mark?.. lol

Be interested to see how it goes.

Nope, a tractor is too big for getting between the trees.... plus I try to stay away from RB's :P

heh knew that was coming... no wonder they wont wave at us!.. lol

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
