All good mate , i wasnt bidding on it , couldnt afford it atm

Iain thats actually quite good , because i was going to get that exact same ecu the first time it was auctioned and no one bought it .. for $1250 without + shipping + charges. so you ended up knocking off $125 of the original auction price.

so all in all you did ok.

I was just about to PM Zebra about the E manage Ultimate -stuffed around checking on availability of harness so tooo slow all yours . Maybe I should offer 50 cents more?

[zei20l]

haha those are my exact thoughts Keir! who tunes it?

emanage is easy, might take me 9 hours to get there, but time is cheap to me

im glad you werent bidding on the ECU mate, i needed it tho

got a long list of crap to buy now..........

lets say we have the harness though.. does that equate to the fcon v being an easier tune for the vq25det? or is it more knowledge and testing of the mappings that the tuner would have to know individually regardless?

Im not confident enough atm to invest in one unless someone says it can be done with x tuner for x amount. Unless you want to be the test dummy Gregg!?

i have however seen the harness advertised in many a yahoo auction for a reasonable price.

Not their best name though, Camp. lol.

The Ultimate will work well with the Nismo I think, are you copying Craig? I hope you learnt from his engine mishap.

It was the Impul ECU(doesn't seem to have boost cut ) + blocked off BOV(must have been pushing above 24PSI) + standard fuel pump + standard injectors + no tune all backed up with a H/F turbo with GT30/71 internals that blew mine.........

Not the Nismo!!!(Soon to be Nismo - EUS).....If I had of had that on I would never have blown it as it has boost cut.

@PetroDola: you would faint if you new how cheap I got my Nismo ECU!

who can tune the fcon v though .. without being a test dummy and spending 2k on a tune anyway for the vq?

cause thats definately within budget.

I may know someone...

Only the "Universal Harness" is suitable for the VQ25det.

Greddy decided not to make up an engine specific harness for it

lets say we have the harness though.. does that equate to the fcon v being an easier tune for the vq25det? or is it more knowledge and testing of the mappings that the tuner would have to know individually regardless?

Fcon will be much easier to tune for the VQ25det than the eManage as it has a selectable base map in the software which the tuner can then modify as required plus it "dictates" the tune to the engine instead of "modifying" it if you have the V-Pro (so eliminating the stubbornness of our ECU... in theory).

I am confident enough to be the guinea pig for an Fcon install... once I get a little more cash for the car (have to shell out around 3.5k for a slasher atm)

I may know someone...

Yes, indeed.

[andy65b]

going to take it for a track day and tell us how she goes! sierra stage 1 hey .. sounds like GCG talk

I will do the drags again in the next few weeks when I get time.

Not GCG... Performance Turbo's in Sydney. Really good value IMHO.

From memory. 43mm Compressor wheel and can't remember the exhaust wheel but it is a bit bigger without being silly.

I am seeing around 4psi at 2200rpm so not too laggy.
