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??? ;)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
