Cheers Matt.

Once i have a bit of time i'll be chatting to you more. I was impressed with your knowledge.

My exhaust is sorted and it's freaking amazing (pics to come in the other thread) so this is my next job to look at.... and the damn electronic throttle :P

(oh and that reminds me to add the old 3inch exhaust + dump to my "things to sell" list)

Just installed my Garrett GTX high flow from by Hypergear. Holds 16psi on HDI cooler kit and 3 inches cat back with no boost controller. Car pulled much harder through out the whole rev range, not laggy at all. Will get at some ID1000 and Emanage, will share my result shortly.

Can i assume this isn't for an M35 Stagea?

If it is i'll always enjoy seeing peoples results.

If not i'm not sure how relevant it will be mate.

Cheers

The chra number in my M35 high flow comes up as an GTX3071. It goes really untuned, I have no complaints.

Don't know if that was covered, I've removed a bleeder jet that was connected from the actuator source to factory induction pipe. That have made a noticeable difference to down low response. The actuator fitted to mine holds 14psi directly sourced, or 17psi with bleeder before it cuts out. Try that and see if it works for you.

Iv just purchaced a 2002 nm35 stagea and by research i may need to invest in a new turbo soon as mine has done 115k which most seem to go by then. I would like abit more power so what sort or mods and turbo should i be looking at for 200kw? Thanks

Dump pipe and exhaust is the first thing to do.

That alone makes a massive difference on these.

Look around for used SS1 spec high flows.

A few blokes here chasing more power and thinking of selling theirs.

SS1 : more torque

SS2 : more power

I have an SS1 with supporting mods that pushes 230kw atw. So if 200 is your goal that will do the job.

I would consider selling my ss1 with an exchange for your stock turbo as I am now chasing a lot more power

There is literally no downside to going SS2 over SS1 (if you're referring to the Precision Turbochargers Sierra Stage 1 & 2). The SS2 has vastly more torque than the SS1, and out muscles it for power as well.

Untuned; my SS2 equipped ran a 13.8 1/4 mile time, Versus a similarly modded SS1 equipped Stagea which ran a 14.3.

There is no comparison, even on the tiny amount more lag.

Hypergear use Garrett ball bearing cores now, their latest RV1 is a GT2971and I've got their RV5 which is a GTX3071. I've driven Stao's Stagea (hdi cooler, pod and exhaust only) with RV1 high flow, that felt like a stock turbo with bit more power, no boost creep.

Mine's cutting out at 152awkws, You will need front mount cooler, injectors, exhaust and piggy back ecu for 200awkws.

Stao's Stagea?

Is that the one that developed a "gearbox problem" and abruptly ended up with a bunch of rods hanging through the side of the block?

Or is that the new one?

I wouldn't say the votes are in on Hypergear's current crop of NM35 Highflows; hopefully he can get on top of it.

152kw is basically what a stock car produces! Picking the right turbo for these cars is the make or break decision that gives you either; an absolutely fantastic car, or a steaming pile of shit.

Before my car was tuned; it produced 179kw @19psi with an Precision Turbochargers SS2 highflow, HDi Intercooler, 2.5" suction pipe, 3" dump to tip exhaust with a 100 cell cat, and Walbro pump.

It then went on to produce 226kw @ 13psi after fitting and HDi Max-rom subcomputer. This was with stock injectors, and reg.

Recently Lakes101 ran 245 kw @17psi (I think) with essentially the same supporting mods as mine (including Max-rom); but notably with main difference being the awesome Intense Billet RS highflow.

245awkw on STOCK INJECTORS.

152kw!! On a gtx3071! I ran 176kw an the stock turbo with Walbro pump HDI intercooler and 3" exhaust. You should be pulling at least that with that turbo. Not familiar with tao's (stao's) turbos as I've never had one but honestly haven't heard good things about them.

Once I upgrades to the intense billet RS turbo and 2.5 intake I pulled 245kw on stock injectors.

152kw on stock ecu and injectors. boost cut at 14psi lol. I've looked at the intense Rs, problem is they can't run anything less then 30psi, Car is my daily, no local E85 pumps.

Hypergear's got a totally different rep in other crowds. They are working another M35.

Those results kinda speak for themselves.I assume this was running E85 and decent boost?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
