Impending M35 Upgrades

[Beregron]

Gday folks,

Just thought I’d double check in case I have missed something in my research through the forums when preparing for my next step of mods on my M35.

At the moment the car has full 3 inch stainless exhaust/high flow cat/Dump pipe, HDI intercooler, BC coilovers, Transgo shift kit, Turbosmart BoV. I have in my spare room a Greddy emanage ultimate/loom, Greddy profect B boost controller and SS2 Hypergear turbo. I will be annoying Scotty for 1000cc injectors + fuel pump and a custom made intake.

From a boost/power increase point of view is there anything major I have missed before I stop acquiring parts and start fitting this gear? Are there any other major weak links I have not addressed? My intention is to get onto Scotty in a couple of weeks for the last few bits I think I need and then once they are also sitting in my spare room (I don’t really care how long it takes) i'll start fitting all this stuff to my car.

I'll eventually address brakes and perhaps add more bracing to make it handle a bit better but power is my current plan.

Cheers guys.

Obviously in the coming months as all this gets completed I’ll post results.

External transmission cooler would be a good idea for the pending dyno time.

$100 for a kit from repco does the jerb.

Yes i have considered this and mentioned it to Scotty. The turbo that was rebuilt by Stao didn't have an actuator with it but i am still running a stock trubo on my car right now so i was going to obviously use that when the turbo is taken off. I can't afford to have the car off the road for weeks at a time as it's my daily. sato was nice enough to include some things in with the trubo to "pre-load" the stock actuator i think... this requires more reseach on my part and i'm not 100% sure what this entails. I assume it's to do with holding boost at higher revs but i'll read up about it more.

I did see a trans cooler mentioned and wondered about it. My car will never see the 400m strip or track (i live miles away from both) but if its required for the odd squirt on the open southern roads i'll add that to my list.

Cheers

A must have would be Scottys cooling mod,that would be the first thing id be putting on.

Quoted for truth.

A transmission cooler is very cheap insurance once you see how expensive a gearbox rebuild is.

[Beregron]

So when you say cooling mod you are referreing to transmission cooler.

I will take your advice

No Scottie's cooling mod is for water / coolant

As Alex said Scotty's cooling mod is for engine cooling. Allows cooling system to function far more effectively, and also allows far easier bleeding of the cooling system. The NM35 cooling system is notoriously difficult to bleed.

An external transmission cooler is a separate but very worthwhile addition.

Also please make sure all the oil restrictors has been drilled out. The high flowed turbocharger do require greater oil flow to work properly.

Wat sort of power could you expect from this setup?

I will certainly be doing this that's for sure.

That's a good question... I'm hoping for anything over 240-250kw's.
