Only reason why Haltech came up is that's what the tuner suggested, and if it's got local support I was willing to look at it.

Cihan is sounding like a good option, or I'll see how Dunc goes with Willall. As long as someone local can fix/retune it.

Haltech option is a new unit which works with 350Zs, so they figure it'll work with VQ25s using the same trigger pattern. I have a quote for $500-1000, but no guarantees it'll work.

Be vary wary... last time I heard that comment "it works on a 350z, it should work on VQ25DET" it cost Jetwreck a lot of wasted money.

The motors in the 350Z and the NM35's are different and so is the ECU.

My word of advice is.... unless they have done it before (and you have seen the results) don't belive them.. they all lie..

True. reminds me of the guy in UK who was so confident that he could flash our ECU with the ROM they use in the 350Z...

showed him the pin out for our ECU and he said no can do!

Haltech 350z Platinum was used as a piggyback on a VQ25det Stagea very early on (3-4 years ago).

I believe it is a standalone unit on a manual 350z/V35

Results were a bit meh... but only mod was a cat-back as far as I can remember

They're talking this: http://www.haltech.com.au/index.php/product/platinum-sprint-series/platinum-sprint-500

But considering I picked up an Emanage for a third of the price, they haven't given me a good reason to use the Haltech. Sure, if it takes over everything instead of doing the addition/subtraction table, that sounds good. But if you get a tuner who knows what they're doing I can't imagine there'd be a remarkable difference.

your running 25psi now?? ffs.. surely the factory internals wont do that for long! :)

you'd be suprised.

lol

im sitting at around 22psi. scotts somewhere at 25psi.

ethanol is one hell of a drug

Haha, my boost peak is 1.92 bar according to the informeter. :whistling:

The issue isnt boost but air volume and this turbo blows a lot of air. Still a fair bit in the old girl but the engine has been running at over 20 psi for two years now, as well as burning the ethanol.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok so i am keen though i have just had a look though no idea where to begin so i photoshopped a pic :)

boost.jpg

Here is my engine bay. Remember i have LPG so may look a bit different!

Now number 1 is the hitachi boost controller.. now that has a single air line to it from underneath the intercooler pipe. from there number 5 runs out of the controller and splits into 2.. one section running to number 2 and the other into a much bigger part of the loom that disappears from view.

As you can see number 2 then splits off 2 more times in 2 different directions.. and god knows what 6 and 7 do!

So what exactly do i do to hook up a bleed valve?

i know i can simply cut the air line to the controller and put the valve in between.. though id like to remove the factory unit altogether.

Little help please :)

1 is a boost sensor not the controller.

6/7is th fuel regs.

your stock boost solenoid is on the right which is out of the pic.

if you want come around to mine and ill hook it up for you.

under '1' plug theres a hose, the bleed valve taps into that

thanks for info Aaron! might take you up on that offer! i am going for work for the next 10 days will hit you up when i get back :)

Also the intake baffle (the dick that hangs off the intake) anyone remove it? any gains?

yup I removed it with my old standard intake....didn't notice any difference.

btw....I found this boost tee to be the best out of all the manual ones I have tried.

all good man just shoot me a pm..

no gains from removing the baffle. no sound change either.. if u want u can remove it but not much point

and do you have a boost gauge yet?

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
