Added to that, I have seen a few of the stock bleeder points fail, one snapped the plastic pipe off and a few with the Phillips head stripped. Using alloy for the body and a steel ball valve it should hopefully be a more reliable option for that too.

The upgrade turbo, a GTX3076 has been tuned today, I'm very pleased with how it's driving now and no issues to report.

My stock VQ25det with ARP L19 head studs managed 350kw at around 24psi on a safe track tune. Hopefully I can get a good time at Sandown next Saturday, fingers crossed. I just got some sticky 245 Advan AO48's to help me grip, should be a great day. :)

Spectators are welcome by the way. ;)

Shaft was out, it would have made more if the dyno wasn't speed limited as power was still climbing. It still had another 1000 revs to go.

Not much laggier but it feels much punchier with the more efficient stall converter. Hopefully I can get the stock trans ecu to lock it up now.

The spiking was due to fuel surge I think, lean pops in the exhaust causing the turbo to spool to 3 bar even with the wastegate wide open. I will have to look at a new fuel system, probably a 20L surge tank in the spare wheel well with a 416L Walbro like yours.

20lt is a bit extreme isnt it...What if you were to mount a small (2lt or so) surge tank inside your fuel tank...maybe in the passenger side hole

I'm gunna have to ditch my twin pipe too mate, its smacking the chassis bad now, I tried to fix it but made think I made it worse...you happy now :P

like i said. a good stainless steel one custom for the boot space. im sure your skilled enough to make a drop in tank pump holder which would be plenty for a surge.. the extra 40-50 litres would be INSANE!

Realist mate, have you even looked under there yet? :)

So happy with the end result Scotty, or still a little left in it?

Very happy, its just running off the gate spring at the moment, plenty more in it if I lean on the controller. Not sure I need more. lol.

It's a conservative track tune, should be good to see what time it can do around Sandown. 1800kg it weighed in at so i'm not expecting supercar times.

Scott, have you asked to have the dyno setting remain the same from one tune to the next?

Getting a bit ridiculous that the settings change every time and gives little to no reference for the power readout.

They need to change to some extent, as the weather, temps and pressure changes. (this tune was at .85 correction or something.) Truthfully I don't care, I just want a good, strong tune ready for Sandown.

Hopefully I can stop fiddling for a while now so it doesn't need tuning again. With the hard life this engine has had I can't believe it hasn't thrown a rod. Time to enjoy driving it... while it lasts. :)

Nice work! Inspired by this thread!

Could you please tell, or show thread, what controlled the ignition and fuel before the F-con? i've read about e-manage, was it equipped with another AFM? do you run just MAP or MAF also?

more info on ECU side. please!

FYI, VQ30DET also have cooling mod parts for VQ25DET, ready-to-install, same as pathfinder's, may be it will help in looking for this parts)

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
