but i think i might go 4 a Greddy emanage am i better of getting just the standard blue emanage with the extra harnesses or the emanage ultimate.

im not going to go hardcore on mods ive herd that the emanage can support up2 300kw, i want be going near that 250 max is my goal.

things i wana do

Intercooler --Hybrid Gt Spec

Split Front and Dump Pipe -- BATMBL one (already have cat back)

Cams--- HKS or GREDDY ??? which is better??

Turbo --- HKS GTRS KIT

Fuel Pump--- TOMEI?? ive herd WALBRO arnt that good> any ideas which 1>?

Z32 AFM

ECU --EMANAGE

EBC-- PRofect B

Injectors-- GTR?? will they flow enough??

that seems about it what do you guys reckon will the emanage b ok 4 that??

thanks heaps simon.

This will no doubt change your plans.

RB20DET AP PFC $1040 delivered.

There's no real need for a hand controller, if it knocks it flashes your dash light, you then know to get it checked out and find out exactly why it is knocking.

* The PowerFC runs the rb20det's really nice, like factory if not better, strange enough it felt smoother through acceleration. The stock ECU I had a little bit of an iffy slightly hunting idle, the pfc has got rid of that idle.

* The PFC boost control kit works well, an AVCR would be nicer as it allows rpm and gear boost control (Good to aid traction in lower gears). The AVCR being a closed loop boost controller monitors boost level and adjusts the duty cycle in real time to achieve the boost level you have set.

This helps prevent the horrid boost drop/tailing off at high rpm when running a turbo near its limits.

* Tomei and HKS cams are known to work well. I prefer Tomei.

* Fuel pump - Bosch 044, mount it internally. If done correctly they are quiet.

* Z32 afm will work fine.

* GTR Injectors will be fine, but do remember that you will be up for the cost ($250-$300) + cleaning ($150 + resistor pack ($100 S/H - $190 New)

The EManage is a piggy back solution, there is no comparison to a Power FC (FC =Full Computer). I wouldn't bother with an EManage on an R32, if I only wanted to spend $700, then I would get the R32 ECU chipped and tuned live on the dyno.

:D cheers ;)

All the reputable places I talked to about tuning an AP Engineering PFC said that they don't need the hand controller, and that using a laptop and the software they have allows for better tuning anyway. So I wouldn't bother with it if you're not gonna touch it yourself, cause they don't wanna touch it either :D

The group buy is $1040 delivered to your door.

It should be closed, the closing date is the 26th of august.

No doubt it will extend due to lack of interest?

Slap the link in your sig and become a post whore, a lot of ppls don't look in the group buy section. :D

If you buy through greenline or the likes there is a chance you will get done for GST.

Emanage would work well with an auto setup.

nice 3000-3500rpm stall convertor with a tricked up auto would launch damn hard, nice street weapon. :D

Thats when the rb20det box gives way and your left thinking about spending $1500 on an rb25 gearbox + $800 worth of clutch (not inc. labour). For the same money you can get a nice auto setup, depends what you want the car for.

I've considered an auto as its a daily driver and I enjoy small squirts fromt he traffic lights up to the speed limit but I have my heart set on the local track. :P

Fuel pump - Bosch 044, mount it internally. If done correctly they are quiet.

you say about that fuel pump my pump now is rather loud on start up like a whining noise whilst turned to on u can hear it until it ahhh loads some fuel in the system

is that normal or is it shagged neways??

All fuel pumps have a nice little buz.

When the bosch pumps are mounted badly they tend to vibrate and create a surge grrrrrrrrrrr bad really lound annoying noise.

Mine is mounted externally and makes the horrible noise on hot days.

As said the horrible noise isn't the usual bzzzzzz, its the grrrrrr rrr r r r rrrr rr :D

ahh ok is it easy to install/mount them properly yourself??

do i have to get that 044 one or can i get the 040 because its a bit cheaper?? will it do the job ok?

Do it your self and it will get done right. :P

I know Shaun @ Boostworx does a good job that doesn't make any noise, he's in sa though. :D

There's a DIY guide how to mount a bosch pump intank in the guide section, predator I think did the guide.

040 will do the job BUT they don't mount as low down in to the tank. Grab what suits your needs.

A GTR pump may very well supply enough fuel. Chances are it will.

hmm what suits my needs... so the o44sits lower meaning it will be less noisy? sky180 sells them and it says the are "recommendly" installed exteraly

is this right or wrong so i should be able to do it ok thou hopefully bcoz everything i install in my car seems to be a mission.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
