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 can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
