Great result tonight with the tune, these things throw out some torque let me tell you. Cihan was stressing about the rods when he saw it was putting out more torque than the 470wkw Supra he just tuned.

Ran the GTX up to 25psi, falling to 21 by redline. The boost snaps on even with the 1.06 housing. We had to stop there as I blew a cooler hose clamp and the 1000's were at 85% duty. There was still plenty left in the turbo...

The car drives amazing even though the power wasnt much better than before. (Perhaps the manifolds are holding me back?) :whistling:

Thanks Alex, you will be there soon. :)

You can clearly see the throttle closing at the top above 6500, not sure why. Redline is 7600 but the ecu is too damn smart. F-con will be the next mod I think. :cheers:

imagine how much torgue it will make with the 3.5lt then :thumbsup"

did you get new wheels Scott

I don't think the 3.5 is needed anymore, the 2.5 is plenty for me for now. :)

I put stock V35 8 inch rims on for the stealth look, with crappy Blue Streak tyres. The sidewalls flex like jelly compared to the KU36's.

wow! thats an awesome result! Well done mate! I cant imagine what 1000nm of torque feels like! Love the stealth look too - but damn those wheels are clean!

Thats not engine torque its tractive effort. But it would still have a heap of torque.

Nice work Scotty. Sounds like a decent improvement, even the though the dyno sheets don't make it obvious (to me at least) so well done :thumbsup: .

Apparently the dyno wasnt run in correction mode back when I tuned the old highflow, it was running around 10% correction last night so it was a 30kw gain on the last turbo which is why Ironpaw was having issues getting the same power. It is definitely an improvement but I cant use it due to the noise. :whistling:

Hmm I thought I wasn't getting the same power cause I was only running 17 psi?

Perhaps, I have no idea. I ran mine on the same dyno but before Cihan bought it so it could have been set up wrong. Only way to tell is to ramp yours up I guess. :)

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
