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??? ;)

Trust me i did buddy, theres so many pages and lots of times not sure what people are talking about, also as you can see some things are not available now ..

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

I checked with scotty about the adaptronic, and he never fitted one so guess emanage is the way to go unless adaptronic has some advantages that are worth it over the emanage

Pretty early days for the Adaptronic; and without a fair bit of manufacturer support & development, it may not go that far.

Josh is certainly doing his bit to push it forward; I hope they help him & his tuner out.

I thought bricks was tuned by an e420d? Made 230kw on his m35. I know DVS JEZ did another m35 with adap. And it's deff been a proven product as a piggy on r33's, 2 ppl have made 280+kw still auto.

You really need to do some reading up onboat the ecus shon. Write down all of the points and then compare them, but at the end of the day, it's scotts call on what he wants to use.

At this stage my car is the onky one running the Adaptronic. The other car is where mine came from (jetwrecks) he had his oil pump fail a couple of weeks after the install (not related to ecu) and had catastrophic failure so parted it out. I grabbed it. The tune on my car is fine, the things still to work out are all related to my cable throttle setup, nothing major though just working on idle stuff. Jetwrecks car was tuned to around 270+kw with standard throttle and all was good. Running 3076 and 620cc injectors.

The issue you will find down south is having someone to install and tune it for you. But if you did find someone it is a great option.

I am looking at converting to the 440D ecu so I can get a flex tune. Mmm e85 goodness

I have been reading through the forum and from what i understood is with EMU i cant get the maximum out of the car. its ok by 250kw for more id need to go with Adaptronic, the thing is im looking to max out the car to a point where is still reasonably realiable, I wont be driving it every day, it will be more like few thousands kms a year, but still wouldnt want something to blow up every time i floor the gas pedal. When I said 300kw would be nice i mean with ethanol conversion so not sure if emanage would be suitable. What im worried about is lag and gear change, is there any difference between EMU and Adaptronic when it comes to lag and gear changes.

And if theres no one in Victoria that can install and tune Adaptronic? Then theres no point thinkning of it i guess.

My M35 on a first tune put out 243 kw's at 19psi on 98 octane using an EMU and retaining the factory AFM. Have a look in the "what have you done to your stagea lately" thread back in November last year for the dyno chart. I'm not sure what E85 would yield as it is not really obtainable where i live at this stage.

I am certainly more heavy footed when driving but i don't really notice the lagg after driving it for 2 months now (i'm not saying lag ins't there but i have certainly changed my driving style to compensate)

Overall though i'm not really sure why i would ever want more power... I'm more concerned now about how the power is applied. I'm looking into things like the brake mod and things like that. I'm sure i'm not the only one that dreams of having a manual M35 too but after reading up on it for longer than any other mods i'm 99% sure it will never happen.

thanks buddy.. So was that without exhaust and inter cooler upgrade? I think im getting 10000 injectors coz of the ethanol conversion...But ive goot ss2 highflow as well and getting scotty's front and down pipe ... Hows the lag comparing it to the stock?

Thats with full 3 inch exhaust, dump/front pipe, 3 inch intake and HDI cooler. I went 725cc injectors which were fine. I assume there is more power to be extracted from my current set up but it's not high on my priority list at the moment.

Oh and I am also using the ss2 Highflow.

Lag compared to stock after 2 months of driving like i said it is noticeable but it takes nothing away from my driving experience. Far more noticeable in my opinion is how the turbo no longer runs out of puff at the top end when you put your foot down. That's just my opinion.

I mean at 3k rpm it's building boost fine and you do have to wait that tiny bit longer but with the power i get out of current tune i'm very pleased with it.

That is the kit for an AWD; the VQ25det doesn't come in 2WD, na dis the only turbocharged M35 model

Many owners are using this exact kit; it's a very well finished set-up, and it fits very nicely.

You will also need a replacement Air-con thermo fan; the OEM one fouls the cooler core.

Yeah i was thinking this one

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
