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!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
