I've got the same one theo but my boost gauge doesnt go up high enough to measure properly.

Def didn't get any big increase in power when I fitted it, which I'd probably expect from an extra 4 psi.

What are you using to measure the boost increase? The BOV should make no difference to the boost, thats the wastegate's job. List your mods again?

i have an Auto meter Sport compact II boost gauge. i was sitting on 16PSI last time i checked now im at 19PSI (its still not mounted on the dash so its hidden under the seat atm LOL)

Power duct with BNC filter.

Scotty's Dump pipe, Full 3" exhaust.

Intake spacer and HDi FMIC.

yeah found the broken vacuum hose to the wastegate!!!!!

at WSID tonight

first run was a 14.469 @ 161.74.............. (19PSI)

second run i farked up 14.995 @ 153.82/......... (19PSI)

3rd: 14.325 @ 159.34 .................. (16PSI)

4th: 14.373 @ 156.08 ..............(16PSI and quite windy)

and last run was the best with a 14.149 @ 157.89 .............(16PSI and quite windy)

so im happy with that, was guessing between a 14.0 and 14.6 :D

I'll know as soon as I get my Fcon V Pro tuned. But with everything sitting in front of me I have no reason to doubt it wouldn't be the best solution. It is more expensive than the Emanage though.

iamhe77 is currently selling an Fcon V Pro with software and accessories (which you need) and Jetwreck is currently selling the plug and play NM35 harness (which is discontinued). The plug and play harness is great. Emanage requires you to spider the harness to all the necessary inputs.

Only optional items are additional sensors, which I've picked up. I'm just waiting to install everything I've got sitting here, then buy some injectors, then go and get a tune.

yeah i need an piggyback ECU ............. which one is the go ???

The Fcon V-Pro is the one you want... the only reason I am selling mine is because of a lack of harness for the PNM35 (HKS tell me that the Z33 harness will not be suitable :().

It is a standalone ECU, but in the VQ25det it is in piggyback "format". Basically instead of adding/subtracting x values on top of what the OEM ECU does, it sends it's own values based on your tune... totally ignoring the variations that the OEM ECU sends to the engine.

It, unlike the eManage, removed the speed limiter and can (as I have stated before) change how the throttle reacts.

Only thing it can't do is manipulate the cams, but as Scotty may attest, neither can the eManage/Vmanage combo unfortunately.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
