Gtx3071 Install

[Mick_o]

Sounds like fun mate lol but hopefully it will be more reliable

It won't fit, I need to cut and shut a vq bellhousing on to it and get custom shafts made.

[Mick_o]

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

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!

Sure do

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?

[wolverine]

Maxed out around the same number as Mick_o.

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?

[scotty nm35]

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.

Finally the Fcon goes in.

So when is it doing the 1/4?

[scotty nm35]

This Friday perhaps, its the last Friday night Calder run for the year... Who's up for it?

I am...wanna give me a ride?

[scotty nm35]

Yeh mate, you're on the way anyway. You got a good video camera?

[Aaron S]

im keen as!!

[ironpaw]

Yeh mate, you're on the way anyway. You got a good video camera?

Hmm, does the one on my phone count? It does HD...

Sorry dont have a dedicated vid cam. Well I do, but it uses those miniVHS tapes..

[Aaron S]

i do if i can make it there~!

[zei20l]

Nice work Scotty! anything over 300 is huge power!! its a shame youre cheating with E85

are you using that rig of fuel pumps you made?

Would be interested in a video of the 1/4 if you go this friday.

[Aaron S]

you might be interested in this??

[Daleo]

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...

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!

[Sage222]

damn well done mate. great numbers indeed!
