Hei guys, i finally got some time and cash to finalize my tune and after replacing stock with high-flown turbo 3 months ago finally get this car back on the road properly. So far apart from turbo i got shift kit and full exhaust sorted, i gotta get Injectors,intercooler with transmission cooler and ECU... So gotta ask what are the best options for the ECU and intercooler these days. The idea was to get to 300kw with ethanol conversion, so whatever works best.

thanks

Hi shone, where are you located?and who will be tuning it? That will make a bit of a difference towards ecu options. There is only a few options either way though. Emanage ultimate is still the most supported and cheapest option, but 300 killawasps is a fair bit for a piggyback. F-con is a great option if you can be lucky enough to find a harness for it. I use Adaptronic which I am very happy with but still working on getting it perfect. Will be going back in in late January to hopefully get it all finalized.

As far as front mount just get the Hdi unit. Straight bolt on and flows more then enough for what you want and plenty more.

Thanks Brick, Im in Melbourne so Scotty is doing all the work. Not sure who exactly is doing the tune as we are not that close to it yet. Just spoke to him and seems like Emanage is pretty much the only option and as i understood 300kw has been done on it and it shouldn't be a problem :0. Fcon's are impossible to get as ive heard, or? And with haltech im looking at 3x the money, so i guess theres only 1 option right?...

with HDI kit i would need slim fan? Can anyone help with this, what exectly am i looking for and where to get, any links would be great.

Also for that Emanage, where is the best to get it from and also what exactly should i be searching for as i found more than few of Emanage ECU's but which one is for m35...

Its just that i need to order these so they arrive by the time im ready to get it all done...

thanks

EBay for all of above. Yes 300kw has been done on Emanage. You need and Emanage ultimate with a universal wiring harness.

Slim line fan is just a generic slim 12" thermo from eBay

is that the one or, coz theres a few different ones at different prices.

thanks

ok thanks for the replies.. i sorted out the ECU http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Greddy-E-Manage-emanage-Ultimate-ECU-ONLY-with-software-and-laptop-cable-/131164002218?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e89fbd7aa

scotty has the harness ..

The only thing i need to get is MAP sensor and i found these 2 on ebay they are not genuine but is there any potential issues with these and is there difference between these two apart from the price...

And the only thing left is the transmission cooler.

any advice

thanks

I have a genuine GM MAP sensor but I would be tempted top try one of the Hong Kong sourced MAP sensors advertised on US Ebay for about $12 post free! I would think they would be very similar to the ones you have linked.

If there is genuine listed id get it but i would have to wait a week to hear from that Japan guy plus by the time it arrives it will take a month, and the plan was to get the car done by the new years so.. Want to sort everything out by mid january hopefully... its just those things i mentioned that i cant find or not sure what to get

Have you looked into adaptronic's e420d? They have an inbuilt map sensor and base maps to get the car running. Target afr, closed loop tuning, aux outputs for boost soleniod etc. and great customer service and trouble shooting. Hypergear on here sell them

thanks ill check it but think scotty said emanage is pretty much the best option as fcon is not available...

Can someone help with transmission cooler, what do i need, where to get?

"Yeah why?" Because you have already asked the question before and someone (Dale) has gone to the trouble of answering it already so the fact that you ask the same question again suggests that you haven't bothered to read the reply.

I actually thought he was talking about the fan for HDI kit not the trans cooler... sorry and thanks

Do some reading in 'what you have done to your stagea' thread and other associate threads as there is alot of information in there. Also look at m35 parts pinned thread. These will be helpful to you and will stop the repost issues where people get shitty with.

@kiwirs4t.......... what kind of cooler was it again??? ;)

    • 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.
