mine were maxing before it cut.

so my informeter told me anyway.

so i was forced to baby the car around lol

emanage can clamp the aiflow at 4.6 as mine is.. anything after that is mapped by a boost sensor plugged into the emanage.

Yeah the Informeter suggests I max my injectors out without the suction.; hardly have to baby it - its first/second gear at 5k where I get into the upper region.

But yeah - mapping the extra airflow via boost sensor sounds fine to me. Its just clamping it at 4.6 WITHOUT the emanage that sounds like danger to me

So the suction pipe doesn't max the injectors just the AFM? If that's the case wouldn't a fuel cut defender fix that by clamping at say 4.6V? If the injectors are maxed then obviously needs bigger injectors.

If you're gonna cut fuel what's the point of flowing more air?

Am I missing something here?

I've got the MAP sensor installed but doesn't seem there's a need to use it...>_<

yeh it probably is a bigger danger doing it without bigger injectors.. which cant be done without an EMU

lol fuel cutdefender in this case would be used to clamp the voltage of AFM to 4.6v.. allowing it to rev freely without an air flow cut.

it adds fuel to the map if you have more boost.

ie. cold whether more boost - the map sensor will add fuel to keep it safe. get cihan to set it up

Ironpaw had a tune done before the map sensor was installed, so after 4.6 volts, cihan guessed the mapping, which he is really good at.

when he goes for the next tune, cihan will integrate it with the emanage

Whats wrong with your 3 dials? My boost gauge isn't working, but I found a thread on Scotty's soldering fix, so I'll do that, get it working, then think about changing it :D

mines an RX, only RS had the dials and the relevant sensors/loom etc. so if i cant get it working, ill be selling all the working bits and going a double DIN

the voltage readout works lol and i think if i change the BCM ill get the attesa working too. the boost sensor is missing the plug in the enging bay loom. but i rekon the wiring is there

i think there were tests done and raising the back of the bonnet doesnt really work. bonnet vents are the only real way to get air out :(

did you run a line from the battery directly to the pump? then its 14.4v already :P

Would creating a vent at back of the bonnet by timing the plastic trim on the back of the bonnet?

Depends what else you do while raising it....trimmed some plastic out so it can flow/get dragged out.

I used a 12v relay...so it's 12v at the moment....If I need to step it up I will use the other one I got from Scott.

Did you want a factory boost sensor Iain or did you get one from the wreck?

Well that sounds like verdict is rip it off until I have done injectors, emanage and fuel pump? DAMMIT! And I was so looking forward to dyno day!

Wouldn't have thought a standard car with plenum spacer, exhaust and suction pipe would have maxed out the injectors?

I would leave it on until and see what the tuner can get out of it.....remember he will lean it off....you may get away with it running at about 92% duty cycle on standard boost!

I just spoke to Andrew, he was recommending a tune just with the exhaust. Sounds like I can do it without doing injectors etc, but excuse my ignorance can I get it tuned without going Emanage? I've only ever had one car tuned, and that was the R31 after I did the engine rebuild. Not exactly sophisticated so it was just done at Ultra Tune.

Unfortunately not on the stock ECU. Unless you send it to Japan.. :whistling:

Exhaust, Sierra S1 and stock boost you should get away with no injections with the E-Manage tune....or Exhaust, Suction Pipe, standard turbo and stock boost!....maybe!...anything more and you are pushing the envelope like I did!...not fun!

You will be in the 90% duty cycle mark more than likely.....so make sure your injectors are alway's clean!

Yep. No tune for u unless u get an emu installed...or a fcon...

Lol at ultratune 'tuning' cars!!

Yeah agree, but it was just timing, nothing complex! Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Off to buy an Emanage then... any suggestions where?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
