Hoping the shorter pipes and lack of leaks might get me bit closer to your response Andy :whistling:

Goes in this Friday hopefully its all sorted and it can see the 25 psi im so longing to see!

Pressure tested my new setup and it came up trumps!:worship:

Sure do :banana:

  • 1 month later...

We finished tuning late last night, changes were:

The exhaust: it was changed from 3 inch with cat to 3.5 without.

Diff: The car now has a 3.5:1 ratio 350z LSD

ECU: I ripped the Emanage/Vmanage out and slotted in the HKS Fcon V pro.

Fuel was still Eflex e85, boost was capped at 25psi due to it not making any more power over that point. It seems the compressor is maxed out.

I haven't been able to drive it in anger yet, low down it is much more responsive due mainly to the diff. The exhaust works great keeping the Varex valve shut until boost hits for quiet cruising.

Nice work Scotty, as usual.

Out of the 3 things you changed, what do you think gave you most of the extra power; exhaust, diff or management? Or were all three neccessary to progress over what you were running previously?

What extra control does the HKS system give you over the E-manage?

Whats the differences between the red and blue runs on the graph Scotty? I notice one makes more power and less torque than the other...

How did you go tuning the F-con? Much better than the Emanage?

The Fcon gives me standalone control which is the main reason I went down that road. Now I can adjust most aspects of the tune like cold start, throttle, idle speed etc. It seems quite comprehensive from the little I have played with it.

The exhaust was where the gains came from, I ran it in 4th this time thanks to the lower ratio diff, that's why the torque was down on the last tune.

The two lines were different boost levels, I think it lost power with more boost so we dropped it back down.

you might be interested in this??

I'm sure it'll be fine; hardly any sand would've gone through that engine at the 2 min mark; what with the comprehensive air filter system he had fitted...whistling.gif

there are heaps of them in that video. most of them don't crash

i was just amazed at how quick they do an up-hill 1/4 mile~~!!

You're not wrong; that last one basically looks like a Patrol with a doorslammer engine!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
