Yes its been awhile since ive been on here...

Turbo went pop the other week now all i have is a loud gushing whistle with no boost.

Im going to be getting the turbo pulled out and hi-flowed by hyper gear, when i get it back ill be throwing in 4 mods

FMIC - HDI GT2

Boost controller - Gizzmo IEBC

Tunable ECU - possibly Microtech

Coilovers - ???

Im in Hunter Valley NSW and im pretty limited to where I can take the car to get it fitted with ECU and Dyno'd I was thinking blacktrack in Thornton as they are the only ones i know of with a AWD dyno. They are a Microtech dealer so my question is has any one got a Microtech fitted to thier M35 yet? is it worth giving it ago? has it been failed already? any input would be greatly appreciated

Cheers guys.

Good luck with that one, as far as I know only the Emanage Ultimate or HKS Fcon Vpro have been successfully fitted and both of those options took a fair amount of R+D. Do they have the ecu pinouts yet? What do they plan to do with the electronic throttle and cams?

Hey mate,

Yeah i havn't even looked into it that far yet Ive sent them an email asking what they could recomend and ill see what comes back I guess.

Yeah i was the first S1 to be fitted by Cihan back in the day with Greddy Emanage Ultimate (1 small step for SAU Kind lol) and i would prefer he did this car too but as i am in NSW and he is in Melbourne im in a bit of a pickle and have to look at other options i guess. I did send Cihan an email but have not since heard back from him, Maybe he is a little flat out.

I'm willing to guiny pig the ricewagon but yeah i need more information whats the issues you mentioned before about "Do they have the ecu pinouts yet? What do they plan to do with the electronic throttle and cams"

If they use the P1ggyback version it may work but why can't they use the Emanage Ultimate? Microtech don't have a good name on here from the research I did. Common: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/385885-microtech-tuning/page__p__6155745__hl__microtech__fromsearch__1#entry6155745

You have a few options I guess:

Drive down like Craig did, I can install the Emanage and drop one of my tunes on to get you to Campbelfield where Cihan's dyno is located. (Yes, he is very busy atm)

Ask Craig nicely to wire an Emanage in for you, then get Jez to tune it on the central coast, he has tuned Craigs once so may be able to sort you out.

Ask Blacktrack to install something, can't help you there but I hope they know what they are doing. Do Microtech even have a base map for you to work off? OEM Crank triggering would be required at a minimum.

Maybe itll be easier to get the turbo swapped over and other goodies fitted drive it down to melbourne for a weekend and get e-manage installed and dyno'd.

Mate if possible can you pm me with what i need to order for the emanage ultimate (harness etc) also a price to fit it. I was planning to pack and send the car to WA where im moving in 4 weeks but i guess ill just drive it once its installed and sorted. what a way to take it for a test drive ey?

Cheers mate and thank you.

not sure about the dump yet just need to get it running first lol... and im running out of time before i leave. But once i get started there wont be any thing holding me back. I just need a good base to start from. and then ill tinker a bit more. are you willing to sell your old stock turbo housing at all? that way i can get that sent to hyper gear and get it rebuilt and sent up here and swapped out with my old one and ill put my old one up on here for sale as a donar.

Take a guess - the bastard's who's replied 3 times in this thread already...

many on here can attest to how good his dump() is!

Sorry haven't had seen scotty's dump in use yet! Maybe Aaron might know lol!!!!!!

But yeah, m35's need a good dump......... ;)

lol.

The BC's are definitely worth the $1200 or whatever you pay. I got the cheaper red ones and others have the gold version, mine have been great and reliable for over 3 years.

The turbo I have here is still perfect so you could imagine I don't want to wreck it. I find it useful for jigging pipes etc also. There has been a bit of interest in turbo swaps though, perhaps I should lend them to Stao, or at least do it for my customers. Surely there are still a few failed housings floating about...

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
