I spoke to Trent about it on Saturday night for a while. Was good to pick his brains, and He has been reading up on SAU about some of the traits of the M35.

Also forgot to mention - Throttle will be converted to Cable, easier for the ECU to run.

Funny, a while ago their dyno guy said he has tuned 'heaps of M35's'. I was skeptical because their isn't anything to tune unless you have some sort of piggback or A/M ECU - & there really isn't that many cars like that up there afaik. Then he convinced me he didn't know what he was talking about when, in response to my answer to "what is my target boost setting?" (18psi), he says "that's 10psi above factory - you'll never get there with the standard turbo".

I suspect he had his C34 goggles on.

hahaha... maybe so. I've been told they comply 3.5 factory turbos by one place, but with their rep it didn't surprise me. Another very well respected place when I was looking for a tuner said "yeah, we'll give it E85, and give it 15psi, should make mad power". Told Him he'd be sweeping my internals off his dyno room floor, turned on my heels and walked out because they had no interest in listening to what I actually wanted.

Thats why I recommend the guy in my Sig!

Not sure what i'm doing yet, the M35 is definitely handy, I just got back from Costco with a full load of groceries... :)

I got the evo 7 extremely cheap, couldn't pass it up. Complete with bearing knock...

The A4 is for the missus, she will be selling the 323, soon too I hope as i'm broke now. lol.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
