OK, now before everyone comes up with smartass comments about this, it's not an advertisement for any workshop (as there isn't one), it's just a big vote of thanks to a few people.

As many of the regulars know, I've been doing a turbo upgrade over the last month... sourcing parts, doing research and most of all spending many hours piecing it all together. All up the process took about a month and it is finally complete as of 11/02/2006 - even got the timing just right for a Friday Night Pizza Cruise :D

Now, I'd like to take this oppurtunity to thank a few people for their support, effort and advice... without any of you guys, this would not be at all possible at this pace and effect.

1) My Mechanic Mitch + GCWP

Mitch has been the greatest mate/mechanic throughout all this... he's done 99% of the installs, 99% of the research and 0% of the sleeping :D I had absolutely no troubles trusting my car with him, and even though he's not the owner of a workshop/performance shop, his skills and knowledge are probably enough to rival most professionals.

Thanks a bunch for everything you've done.

2) Trent (BMW Mechanic)

Trent has also devoted quite a few long nights to this project and given some very useful advice. He made up a CAI from my stock intercooler parts which surprises all :D Most memorable of all are all the jokes/parodies that come out of Trent, makes working till 2am well worth it :P

3) Aaron @ Sliding Performance

Aaron has been great with providing the turbo even with my constant naggin about the delays :P He's made sure it's perfect before it came down to Sydney and it is! Appreciate the tech advice too, and am pleased to say this new breed of turbo goes good!

4) Abo Bob - Adam

Yes, I've been pestering Adam for information as well and he's been great with providing solid answers from experience with the R34 - thanks heaps champ!

5) Dave @ Envy Imports

Cheers heaps for doing my oil lines for the new turbo... and also getting me some parts for dirt cheap through Autobarn :P Mitsubishi-san for life dude :D

6) Chris a.k.a. Craved

Thanks for jumping in and giving quick answers/solutions to the coolant line drama... witht the ideas thrown around we got that sorted very quickly. That's 2 times I owe you now :D

7) Everyone Else Involved

Yes, this one is for all those MSN mates, and whore buddies and anyone else who paid us a visit at the workshop :D

And that about rounds it up, sorry if I missed anyone but I think 6) caters for that! I'll post photos of what we did over the new few days after the engine bays been given a clean, looks rather ghetto at the moment!

Cheers

S

OK fine, when we all attend the next whore session, MAR55S can hug everyone :rolleyes:

WOOT! Just got back fron Newcastle run, and very pleased to say that the turbo spools / boosts very very hard. Very responsive on tap from about 2800rpm ;)

Time to get a Fuel Cut Defender so I can remove this stupid fuel cut and boost to the turbo's efficiency range!

Wink; won't be getting a tune until the FCD goes in which will be next week sometime. There's really no point getting it done before then as I'll only be able to boost it to 13 psi before the car's automated protection system kicks in and drains all the fuel / power.

Cheers

Stan

EDIT: John, we'll get some photos up soon :P

Need to get a tune first... then we think about it :D

Since I took two days off work to finish the car last week; I am now paying for it by having to do a TONNE of work for tomorrow :D Oh well, the prices you pay for satisfaction :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
