M35 Ecu Piggyback Units

[Artwear]

Hey guys.

The stag was starting to show signs of the turbo failing so i have entrusted R&D to pull it apart, Hypergear should be doing the Hiflow & Scotty the new pipes.

The trans will most likely be next but i would also like to start getting an idea on ECU options for retuning.

Ideally id like somthing that can be riged up to a tablet in the pop up screen section as the screen is still jap and gets no love. Was also curious if there is anything around that will let you have 2 different tune setups, one for daily economy and one for power.

As always, any info is greatly appreciated!

there is 3 main options out there.

1 - Emanage - cheapest option and what most people are running.

2 - F-Con - fair few people have done these and there is actually a plug and play harness for the m35 (it is discontinued though)

3 - Adaptronic (stand alone ecu) - so far i am the only person running this but has been good to me.

It comes down a little to who will be tuning it etc also how far you think you may take the car.

Do a little research on them all and see what suits your needs the most

2 tunes isn't required. The throttle determines the power and consumption.

One tune tuned well and sensible use of throttle.

I'll eventually have my results up from my M35 build but it will be a couple of months off yet.

I'm going the Emanage/ss2 hypergear + supporting mods route so during my month off in November hopefully I can provide results. I live really close to R&D so hopefully they can help with some of my tuning decisions. Once sorted i'll shop for a bit more bracing and probably fit some decent brakes.

I'm sure you are aware that the jap screen can be converted to english (do a forum search) so it's not entirely useless. Also a forum member fabed up a 3 gauge holder mould to replace the screen all together...

Food for thought.

Cheers

An economy "tune" is a simple as a lower boost setting on a boost controller.

But as has been observed; the weight of your right clog has the greatest effect on economy.
