M35 2002 sseries 1 stagea axis autech

I have someone to remote tune my car for LPG as am in Darwin .The guys up here are ripoff merchants............bigtime

Where do I attach the cable? ie where is the plug hiding for me to connect my computer to the cars computer. I believe its under the dash somewhere.

I am a bit paranoid I will rip out something I shouldnt !

A photo would be great so I know the shape and connection type

Thanks in advance

There is no 'tuning plug'. The ECU cannot be tuned. If you want to tune, the only option is a piggy back ecu, either the Emanage Ultimate or HKS FCon, both of which provide limited tunability in the grand scheme of things but should aid in making adjustments to deal with LPG properly.

They are only rip-offs because they have no idea how to adjust it.

An Emanage Ultimate would be the cheapest option I would recommend, you just have to find someone who can fit and tune it. Most of the Emanage owners are planning a trip down to Melbourne when the time comes...

Presumably the LPG kit comes with a fuel management computer? The connection for it will be specific to whatever is installed.

BTW I have a friend running an M35 on LPG, it was a good conversion and car runs well.

Liquid or vapour injection?

Thanks everyone.

yes there is a plug coming from the dash somwhere but I assumed it was part of the Stagea management setup.

Duncan I would be interested to know what km /..

around city

on highway

I have rarely used petrol since ownership but 15km/100km sounds about average form what I have read

There is an obd2 plug under the dash, what do you expect it to do though? Their machines probably wont talk to the port let alone tune through it. Do you have another aftermarket controller?

For full tuning ability without the rip off, go an emanage.

it was vapour not liquid injection.

I don't know exact before and after fuel use....but they are tight arses so they wouldn't be happy unless it was much better :P

and like I said, no changes to the factory ECU or anything else like an emanage is required. It uses factory timing control and an aftermarket injector controller with the gas kit.

From commnets made I believe the plug I must be referring to relates to the LPG system recently installed. The tuning will be from the LPG set up which piggybacks off the ECU. I also found out I will be using teamviewer for the remote connection process.

I have no insights into exactly how they tune the lpg fuel computers....other than to say I have never heard of one needing anything other than a fuel computer, and I've never heard of them being tuned on a dyno. thousands successfully installed in all sorts of cars.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
