NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

To add to that this is a sad news for Military Aviation... Sure the FA18 is a great aircraft but will nothing will ever come close to the abilities of the F14-A Tomcat...

I stand at attention and solute with a Moment of Silence in Memory of the Tomcat!!!

:sad:

Yes - I read this last week and felt a well of emotion similar to when you hear the 'Goose is dead' music ;)

But - considering the F14A was deisgned in the late '60s, it's probably time the old girl retired - much like Viper. And screw FA18s - I think they should just get a fleet of Mig-28s - afterall, they can do a 4G negative pushover despite having inverted flight tanks.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

From prep to year 10 I wanted to be a fighter pilot becuse of two things:

1.) Robotech their cartoon's in the form of planes were a derivitive of tomcats...

2.) Topgun/tomcats...

tomcats were/are my all time favourite plane... back in the day I actually wanted to migrate to the US just so I could have a chance of flying one... quite stupid really.. but sad none the less... ;):(:(

hahaha, robotech kicks ass! I wanted to be a pilot, but I wear contacts... so I did robotics at uni instead, I'll build a veritech yet :whoops:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
