When did u get the emu Leon?

What EMU? It's more like a kangaroo lol.

I think I've been misunderstood somewhere along the line. I've only got the stock ECU & no Emanage. In fact all my testing is done on a stock car except for a turbo back 3" exhaust.

I was trying to beat the throttle restriction via a DIY "backyard" mod and I thought I had it beat last night after a cracking drive. But this afternoon when I took it out again I had gremlins in the system. So now I'm not convinced.

As you may appreciate, I've been thinking, measuring, researching etc this for some time & so when I come to write up my findings it's taking me a while to type it out.

Since I don't have a magic fix for everyone right now (like I thought i did last nite & this morning), I've decided to throw it open to others for their input & I'm happy to do more R & D and testing.

I'll be starting a new thread a bit later (tonite I hope) with all relevant info & we will see how it progresses.

Cheers.

Yeah, that might prove to be a good idea. I'll get back to you if I need it.

Thanks.

Took the Daily to Winton instead of the usual Track car, did a 1:48.5440 which was great fun, though it drinks like Fatz when being punted hard

Pretty good time for an overweight barge!

What tyres are you running?

[MacGillaZ]

Pretty good time for an overweight barge! :worship:What tyres are you running?

Crappy ones that came with the car Supercats I think, not exactly grippy, but meh, good enough to roll around on and I wasn't there to break records. Car is VERY safe to drive on the limit, but with more grip and more roll stiffness I reakon I could get it down to maybe a 1:45, shift kit and LARGE transmission cooler with water spray might also be necessary, so not gonna happen .... yet

Informeter turned up, wired up and ready to install.

But best part is...

MY FLANGES ARE HERE!!!!!

Being the first M35 for AM Performance, I've had to wait for everything you usually wouldn't, including getting the flanges laser cut. Making it easier for the next person through!

Should be ready to pick up tomorrow or Sunday (might have to beg Brad to give me a lift to pick it up ) and sounds like it'll be worth the wait. Straight through 3" no restriction

[zei20l]

what exhaust are you going for??

ill be getting a straight through 3" too. but an Apexi N1 can on the rear

[Sunkist]

its what i have straight through 80mm to the turbo. make sure when you do your turbo you open the wastegate!

[bigkevracer]

Iain, AM Performance wanted to start doing M35 exhausts, so they're using my car to develop the jigs etc. I've asked for an exhaust which doesn't drone on highways, and have been told not to complain if it's too quiet

They're custom making the whole system, from the turbo back, and will sell it in sections so you can buy a dump, mid or end pipe. I'm really impressed with the way Andrew makes them, he can make a straight through exhaust and uses special sound deadening material to make his own muffler around the outside (or inside, depending on what you want, this is what he does on R32 GT-R exhausts and it looks amazing!).

I'll have photos when he's done if you're keen. Best part is I know its great quality, and I can spec it how I like, so I'm getting it slightly customised.

You got an external wastegate Aaron?

[scotty nm35]

He wishes.

He went for a stage 2 Sierra highflow, now he has boost spike issues as the stock wastegate was way too small. (so is the housing) I opened it up for him a few mm and it made no difference, it needs a larger wastegate flap.

[bigkevracer]

lol. I have no idea about external wastegates, seem pretty costly. Can't he just fit an external wastegate if the stock wastegate is way too small?

Hurry up with the Garrett Scott! I'm going to need a new turbo, and your route sounds heaps better than a high flow!

[scotty nm35]

It is, but I have a T18 in the driveway getting a vvti 1J shoehorned into it. Lots of fabrication work to do. Perhaps I will push it into the street and do my fuel system first. lol.

[bigkevracer]

No one cares about 1Js... back to the VQ world!

[Sunkist]

1j's matter when theres a big cheque coming with it doesnt it scott
