Its worth paying $$ for a good install, your alarm is only as good as the install.

Cant help you out on installation in ballarat. Goodluck though!!

Hi undertoe,

Firstly, dont take your car to Rock, lock and Roll or Autobahn. They will wreck your car. I have seen to many jobs come out of their workshops over the years and had to redo from scratch many of them costing the customer ( you) more money.

I have had many dealings with one particular alarm installer in Ballarat, and although the company he works for may not be held in high regard, i can assure you that in my ten years in this industry he would have to be one of the best alarm installers I have seen.

The company is Strathfield, they are located in the bridge mall with an off site work shop.

The guy you actually want to work on your car is SIMON. The sales person to deal with is ANDREW, the store manager.

As said, Strathfield generally dont have the best rep for installs, and the Melbourne metro stores are very rough on cars. Don't bring your car to melbourne for an instal.

But, having said that, i know these guys in Ballarat and they are very good.

Store details.

Andrew Huie - Manager

Simon Hatcher - Installer

I would also recommend that you look at the Black Widow BW10000. This is an insurance approved alarm with twin point immobiliser in the module, 1 external, black wiring, and is reliable as hell.

Please note that I do not work for either Strathfield or Black Widow. I have simply had dealings with these individuals for the last few years ( approx 4) and have found them and the black widow product to be excellent.

And when it comes to alarms, dont be tight, it is after all, the only thing between your pride and joy and a thief.

Good luck

as has been stated - dont skimp in getting it done properly. $50 install can (and will) be removed on 30sec or less. pay the money.

FRX026,

we need to have a chat :down:

      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.

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
