Questions On M35

[slippylotion]

Yep I agree with Dale. Go with a 245/45-18 as I did, they are the same size as VE commy factory wheels so price and choice is pretty good.

They also help to fill the guards better than a 40 series unless you excessively lower your car to do so but then you run into other problems.

My 245/40s look a lot better than I was expecting but it doesn't do the speedo any favours.

You'll get some decent 245/45s for $200 or less, go for it!

hey guys,

just had a chance to rip the centre console apart

i need to change the bulb for the seat heater switch, anyone know where to get it?

[Sydsyd]

anyone? would love to get this sorted

[Commsman]

What's the prob Syd? You got the bulb out, right? Is it a weird one with no direct aftermarket replacement? Pic?

I don't have those switches otherwise I'd have already pulled mine out & sent it to you

just did a minor service this morning and found out that the inner CV boot has been split...anyone know part number for the boot? my mechanic suggested to use the universal boot but he's not sure what size is needed...help please, thanks!

Syd, this will become more common with time, our cars are at that age.

I did a driver's side inner a month ago, I'd suggest tracking down as genuine boot; my CV guy reckoned they're better than the universal boots.

Hey all

just like to say brilliant information you guys have all dug up on m35s for the past few years

Have been reading these forums for quite some time but have a few questions in regards to my project

03 vq25det, 170k on clock. has hdi kit, bc golds and 18x9.5 wolfs 245/45/18s.

Scottys dump on its way and dales suction pipe on its way also, followed by cat back and hks fcon ( i have the harness already-score!) ss1 turbo injectors etc.

1. once the intake pipe and dump are put on will i be having issues with injectors? i dont want to run lean and blow engines

2. what is the best way to give these a boost leak test? after doing fmic and some vac hoses my boost gauge only reads half bar when it used to boost to just shy of one.. i dont want to upset the throttle body etc so info would be marvelous

3. hks fcon. do i have to buy one with a base tune installed or can my hks dealer reprog a 2nd hand one for me? im in NZ and suichi from ST Hi Tec will be doing the tune as he has done reprieves m35 previously.

Not looking for crazy kws but a nice street tune that will leave 20/25 det owners scratching their heads. say around 250atw

thanks a bunch. i think its great stagea owners out their have shared their knowledge its been so helpfull thus far. Zach

1. No, the stock ecu will protect the engine pretty well, it will just throw you through the windscreen if you boost it too hard.

2. Make a bung for the intake and pump 25psi into it. See if it holds air, you should be able to hear any leaks, or use soapy water to find them. Sounds like you may have mucked around with the boost bleed setup, did you replace the hoses to the boost solenoid? There is a restrictor in one...

3. Your dealer should be able to source a base map if he deals with HKS, otherwise you will need a later model Fcon Vpro which has the base map loaded. Have a search, the info is here somewhere. Speak to your tuner about it too.

That power target seems achievable on the SS1 highflow turbo, I guess you don't have access to e85 over there?

[zelda]

Thanks for that, i had replaced the vac hose with the restrictor in it but changed it back shortly after, gauge started reading a little better once i did, but this is what leads me to think it may be a boost leak... or just dodge boost gauge in general.

For a bung in the intake could i remove the bleed hose on the bov pipe (not the boost sensor one) and block it off and dump 25psi down the nipple ( with tight commections etc

obviously)

We can get e85 over here but not at any pump, just by the barrel

[scotty nm35]

Well you would need to block the intake anyway, or all the air will just slide back out the air filter.

Speak to Soichi about the F-Con. He has good contacts with HKS and can get them re-programmed prior to tuning... but get him to confirm a unit is suitable before you buy.

There's a couple on US eBay
