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

thats rocking andy!

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

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
