Ripped Aaron's turbo out, 2 hours flat. Not bad going.

He is going for a bush core this time as bearings have left a bad taste in his exhaust, and bits of wheel. Shaft snapped in half.

Don't want to sound sceptical, but can you prove the increase in driveability, economy and reduction of intake temps?

This argument has been done to death.:whistling:

Back to back, same day, plenum skin temp measured with a non contact temp gun (accurate to 800deg) 31deg reduction.

Economy; only .1-.2 km/l, possibly a bit more.

Driveability; VERY subjective, because it's a "seat of the pants thing". But; Yes, farking HEAPS! Better response, stacks more torque.

8psi. lol. Not even tuned, second gear apparently at 2000 revs. The bearings were noisy when it first went in, after 3 months it had snapped the shaft and demolished the exhaust wheel, front looked pretty good considering but it was seized.

I had the car on stands, its an easy job if there is no heat-shield so guess what's not going back on. lol. 3m stick-on heat-shield will do the job nicely. :thumbsup:

I don't really want to dob the shop in as he is looking after us with a warranty, it was a ball bearing highflow though.

Due to the damage to the housings it looks like he is going bigger than mine.

Nice, how do you plan to get it running?

I still think its a downgrade unless you go forged internals...

You are suffocating the engine if that has the stock turbo on it. You will be on boost at idle. lol.

The engine will be built, and it will run a bigger turbo.

Firstly though, I need to sort out the EMS and get a manual conversion happening. My tuner tried on the Haltech and said it isn't compatible, something to do with the pulses, I forget what exactly.

Has anyone made any headway in manual conversions for the M35?

Is the R34 GTR gearbox with bellhousing modifications the go?

Im about to go down this path myself but I think I will hold off on my 3.5 build for now for the very reason you are having now, people dont understand these engines. You will have to go standalone, PS2000 or motec m800 or similar which means you may not have the dash, attessa abs etc. Will you be paying a mechanic to learn all about this engine?

Pulses? I guess he means the crank sensor? Better find a new tuner... What Haltech was he using anyway?

What prompted this change over? Did you damage your engine? Do you still have it?

lol... you don't sound sceptical at all!

Point taken. I have just been on a few forums where people fit stuff, then say how good it is without hard data. I can't really 'feel' your 'seat of the pants' performance upgrade.

Just want numbers that's all.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
