Turns out I was low on Glycol, and I overfilled my reservoir. So when the turbo gets warm it boils and over flows the tank(Worse when I was running BP98). Since I reduced the tank level back to where it's supposed to be, replaced the coolant and purged the system it has been stable(touch wood)

I understand how air pockets in the system would cause timing drift...would also cause incorrect mixtures in open loop. The thing is every ECU suffers from the same fate. "Incorrect data input causes incorrect data out"

Will it need head studs, pistons, trans replaced at some stage....yes I expect so. Am I trying to kill it, of course not, Am I trying to make as much power as I can-yes, Am I being reckless because I bought it with a blown turbo cheap-no

If you want to poo poo the EMU to support your link development, the biggest problem with EMU is injector timing. A stand alone will make more power, cleaner exhaust(less fuel smoke) and be better on fuel.

Shift timing is effected from the EMU boost cut clamp, the Shift kit doesn't really help the problem as the TCU try's to bring the shift points back in line with the Target MAP vs load input on the CAN line. If the Link will interface with the TCU CAN it will certainly help keep the trans alive. A TCU reprogram would also be a valuable investment

How's this..

I emailed Nistune Developments about the M35 and AFM failure frequencies here.

No one there ever heard of AFMs blowing up due to modifying and/or tuning, nor of M35 issues.

They thinks it's a design fault somewhere and sounds like it could be getting more voltage than it needs through it's power supply.

Suggested regulating the power source or try a GTR AFM..

Anyway worth a try.

If you want to poo poo the EMU to support your link development

A few EMU fitted cars have thrown rods recently... I knew about the timing issues when I installed mine and installed the Fcon as soon as I could. No need for me to 'poo poo' the EMU, every tuner I speak to does that without me saying a word, hence why no-one will tune it these days. Good on you for trying to develop it further, but the only reason I was installing them is, there was no other option.

A little support with our M35 Link development wouldn't go astray, it isn't about selling a heap of units, it's about getting a decent tuning option for those few of us pushing the limits. I know we will struggle to sell enough to recoup even a small part of the costs involved, and there are plenty of headaches with it still to address.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
