I must admit I would go back to the dealership.

You would be stupid to tell any one what you were doing.

Mind you If I had the money to replace the motor I would.

Except the internals would be a lot nicer. :P

Then again I wouldn't mod the car and do some thing as stupid as he did without knowing I could replace the motor if it went bang.

The world is a cruel place. :)

hehe, well american - explains 95% of it.

Just lucky with the Nissans the stock turbo goes pop before the rest of the engine does :P not a bad Idiot proofing. Doesn't say much for the intelligence of the WRX management though to let it hose itself without some sort of basic protection. Then again, it does sound like he lost an oil line to the turb .. not much you can do about that i guess.

Holy crap.

OK, the guy was a bit of a novice and overmodded his car. BUt you have got to be a sick twisted ***hole to dob someone in to the dealer over this one.

I mean like he said he did get it done by a mechanic and they coulda/shoulda told him or warned him.

Makes you appreciate good tuners!

I would try and defraud the dealership too but I have no morals. What they did was harsh, but on the other hand, he did deserve it.... and he was pretty foolish, especially going to a 3rd dealership and signing saying he hadnt modded the car.

Would love to know what happened to him in the end.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
