Lambchop With A Renault Axis Here...

Can't help yourselves lol

[zei20l]

i hope to have my car sold by that stage

[WAGON_BOY]

so general consensus is they both work well, but to optimize the emanage u need something like a nismo ECU................ so either way it doesnt matter what you run.

oh and that Iain is a knob for selling his stagea

The stock ecu is fine with the EMU, thats what I run but the speed cut is still there, unless you run the HKS SLD or an aftermarket ecu.

Not sure yet how the Fcon gets around the speed cut MIL and throttle restrictions, the HKS loom has 4 extra wires I cant diagnose which return to normally unused ecu pins. It will obviously be harder to tune though.

And Iain is definitely a knob, even if he kept his Stagea...

+2 On the Iain comments....but we all know that!

And if I had the cash and I didn't already have the Nismo i'd be going with the..............................HKS over the E-manage...there I said it!....I did think about going the HKS and Nismo but it would be pointless and I was lacking in cash...I only need fuel control and the AFM clamped from where I am to make Scott cry!....

Better hurry mate, my 3.5:1 diffs are on their way... I should do before and after Calder runs.

[slippylotion]

Where and from what are you guys getting the 3.5 diffs? What's the standard ratio we have? Do you notice any gain in economy as you would be sitting at higher revs and more vacuum compared to standard.

Cheers

[Jetwreck]

Less vacuum on the hwy actually......less load more torque....no sitting on a spinning converta.....rev are about 500rpm different

[Jetwreck]

Oh the diffs......the fronts come up every now and again....just do your research and you will find a good front 3.538. Then you just need to find a v35 or 350z mt diff.....the whole lot should set you back about 1k.

Ps the pm35 all come with 3.538's

[Jetwreck]

Oh...probably the best and cheapest bolt on 60hp you can get not to Mention it also drops the strain on the gearbox

[slippylotion]

Isn't less vacuum closer to 0 as you move into positive pressure and more vacuum a larger number such as 30 for example?

The one thing I hate with the stock ratio is the slightest throttle touch and its positive pressure even if you dont need. I also hate it when cruIsing at 60 and any speed above, it's very sluggish until the converter unlocks. I usually only want to squeeze the throttle a tad for a slight rise and it does nothing until it unlocks. Do the 3.5 gears help with this at all?

[WAGON_BOY]

i absolutely hate the auto mode since when do u cruise at 55km/h in 5th gear FARK YA........... manual mode is way better and if ur doing 100 in 5th it doesnt drop down to 4th to speed up to 110

[Daleo]

Yeah, around town I always lock the gearbox in 4th, saves kicking down all the time if you actually want forward progress.

Normally don't use auto unless I'm on the motorway.

[slippylotion]

But when you push the stick sideways to lock it into 4th, is it this that switches the fluid off so it wont go through to the cooler?

correct

[slippylotion]

So not a great idea for everyday driving then?

I'm at -5 to -10 on the freeway....I used to always be +5

[slippylotion]

So on the freeway you would be cruising with positive manifold pressure? That's weird.

Edited January 13, 2012 by slippylotion

[Jetwreck]

Negative manifold pressure....with the original diffs I was always positive.

Edited January 13, 2012 by Jetwreck

[slippylotion]

Looks like I might chase me up some diffs then.

Cheers
