Tucks up nicely, the factory one used to scrape sometimes backing out my driveway.

Cracked the front pipe trying to undo the bolts so tacked it back up until I get my dump and front pipe from Scotty.

Sounds good, time to take it for a spin......

I did this today.

I've been talking with Roger at Hybrid Development Industries for several months now, and expressed interest in their MAX-Rom subcomputer when they announced that they were planning to introduce it to the NM35 Stagea market.

First run was 179kw (all runs in RWD); this was the second run.

This was (I think) the 4th run; was starting to sound quite mean by this stage.

Boost control from the OEM controller was all over the place, so we ditched it and put this on.

6th run produced this;

This is a monstrous effort on the stock injectors!

Roger and Adam Neish did a fantastic job on the dyno tune, and then after a road test made a couple of small adjustments to get rid of a tiny knock event.

The tune is quite conservative; with the injectors at 87% duty and running just 12-13psi. In Adam's words the tune is "As safe as houses" his comment about Roger's tune was "He still puts down the numbers" which was a pretty solid compliment coming from Adam.
Keeping in mind that this is the very first tune they've ever done on a Stagea; and this is the first step of a process of development, I think it's a fantastic starting point.

He was very impressed with the little VQ, and reckoned it was still making solid power at 6500rpm.

The difference in the way the car drives is just unbelievable.

Previously the injectors were maxed at 5100rpm, so I could never really use full throttle through the rev range.
The car while fast; was never completely happy, and ran very rich on boost.

It has run a 13.8sec quarter @102mph; but there was much more to be had.

It never hit AFM cut, but there was so much potential to unlock; well, consider it unlocked now!

Wow... you due for another run at the drags soon?

Nice Dale, quite nice but I do have one question.

Why the hell is there no Daleo or Scoty intake pipe? I see a rubber bend in that pic!

Dale can only be stuffed replacing the lower part on his intakes. :P

:(

That intake piping was the one thing I loved about my old NM35 engine bay.

On another note, cars feels really good. Surprisingly so actually.

Low end response is noticably more lively and it "feels" easier to rev (certain it is not placebo). Very happy - was my best case scenario.

Doesn't feel noticably more powerful, just happier to rev. Now to get rid of that Y-pipe and begin build on my Hydrogen separator cell. Should be interesting.

Reference: I would recommend for anyone that has a VQ35de Stag to grab a set of Z34/V36 OEM headers and work out some cats to fit.

I would guess that some V36/G37 high flow cats would bolt on but cannot be certain as Scott combined by cheap, non-fitting de-cat pipes with my VQ35de Berk cats to fit as desired.

It works, and I don't really believe there's much to be gained by replacing it with a hard pipe or a silicone reducing bend of much the same dimensions.

That; and I'm lazy...

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
