Ive asked plenty of questions regarding a solution to my NEO ECU problem. Ive come to the conclusion that I simply cant afford to run the VVT at the moment as ECU's that support it are rare and hard to come by. (I priced up an R34 PFC but at $1400nz + sorting out my cut wiring loom + Tuning fee's- i simply cant afford it).

So, I came across a LinkPlus that was already running on and tuned on an RB25DET for $750. At that price a had to grab it. I emailed Link before I purchased and they said, "It may be possible to just switch the cam timing (all on or all off, like vtec), you will have to investigate whether that would be ok, or just make it worse".

So what are my options now guys? How to I go about changing the Continious Variable Valve Timing to Switchable (like the R33)? Is this even possible?

Also, how will the car run if i simply wire it up and start it as is?

Oh, and the reason i didnt just get an R33 RB25 for my Silvia is that this NEO with 80kms popped up at $1600. I was getting quoted $2500 for R33 25t's so I naturally grabbed that NEO.

Hmm, looks like theres not alot of info out there about this. I guess im probably the 1st person in history who is backward enough to to change a technological advancement in a motor back to its older conifguration, but my current situation forces me to do this.

Can anyone put me out of my misery and tell me if its possible to switch off the Continious VVt? My turbo, exhaust and IC piping fitment are being completed next week and ive got a LinkPlus sitting next to me which im not sure whether or not will be put to use. If not, im back to drawing board. :P

I havent thought of that, i will look into this option aswell. But I will need to find a rare neo ecu, plug and part of the wiring loom. Very hard to come by here in NZ. It seems like getting rid of the vvt is the easiest option, but thanks for the suggestion :P

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
