When did u get the emu Leon?

What EMU? It's more like a kangaroo lol.

I think I've been misunderstood somewhere along the line. I've only got the stock ECU & no Emanage. In fact all my testing is done on a stock car except for a turbo back 3" exhaust.

I was trying to beat the throttle restriction via a DIY "backyard" mod and I thought I had it beat last night after a cracking drive. But this afternoon when I took it out again I had gremlins in the system. So now I'm not convinced.

As you may appreciate, I've been thinking, measuring, researching etc this for some time & so when I come to write up my findings it's taking me a while to type it out.

Since I don't have a magic fix for everyone right now (like I thought i did last nite & this morning), I've decided to throw it open to others for their input & I'm happy to do more R & D and testing.

I'll be starting a new thread a bit later (tonite I hope) with all relevant info & we will see how it progresses.

Cheers.

Yeah, that might prove to be a good idea. I'll get back to you if I need it.

Took the Daily to Winton instead of the usual Track car, did a 1:48.5440 which was great fun, though it drinks like Fatz when being punted hard :P

mate sent me a pic of your car parked near his (Grey Evo 8MR)

good to see stags getting out on the track, might have to put mine out there soon

Pretty good time for an overweight barge! :worship:What tyres are you running?

Crappy ones that came with the car :P Supercats I think, not exactly grippy, but meh, good enough to roll around on and I wasn't there to break records. Car is VERY safe to drive on the limit, but with more grip and more roll stiffness I reakon I could get it down to maybe a 1:45, shift kit and LARGE transmission cooler with water spray might also be necessary, so not gonna happen .... yet ;)

Informeter turned up, wired up and ready to install.

But best part is...

MY FLANGES ARE HERE!!!!!

Being the first M35 for AM Performance, I've had to wait for everything you usually wouldn't, including getting the flanges laser cut. Making it easier for the next person through!

Should be ready to pick up tomorrow or Sunday (might have to beg Brad to give me a lift to pick it up :worship: ) and sounds like it'll be worth the wait. Straight through 3" no restriction :banana:

Iain, AM Performance wanted to start doing M35 exhausts, so they're using my car to develop the jigs etc. I've asked for an exhaust which doesn't drone on highways, and have been told not to complain if it's too quiet :whistling:

They're custom making the whole system, from the turbo back, and will sell it in sections so you can buy a dump, mid or end pipe. I'm really impressed with the way Andrew makes them, he can make a straight through exhaust and uses special sound deadening material to make his own muffler around the outside (or inside, depending on what you want, this is what he does on R32 GT-R exhausts and it looks amazing!).

I'll have photos when he's done if you're keen. Best part is I know its great quality, and I can spec it how I like, so I'm getting it slightly customised.

You got an external wastegate Aaron?

He wishes. :P

He went for a stage 2 Sierra highflow, now he has boost spike issues as the stock wastegate was way too small. (so is the housing) I opened it up for him a few mm and it made no difference, it needs a larger wastegate flap.

lol. I have no idea about external wastegates, seem pretty costly. Can't he just fit an external wastegate if the stock wastegate is way too small?

Hurry up with the Garrett Scott! I'm going to need a new turbo, and your route sounds heaps better than a high flow!

It is, but I have a T18 in the driveway getting a vvti 1J shoehorned into it. Lots of fabrication work to do. Perhaps I will push it into the street and do my fuel system first. lol.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
