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.

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?

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

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

    • Hey guys I’m chasing a Rb20det complete or bare block need a good running engine as mine has low comp 
    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
