guys im thinking intercoolers here, and im going do buy a hybrid (or similar) core, and want to get custom piping made up which is a copy of the more expensive brands (trust, blitz etc) so remove the need to any major cuts to my front bar...

just wondering what ppl think of this idea and any places to recommend getting the piping done?

What car, what bar? Ring around. By the time you pay someone to measure, cut, weld, polish/paint and isntall...the off the shelf kits are cheap.

Unless you do it all yourself and have afriend that can weld, or throw a case of beer to a guy on the side to weld it up after hours...the Jap kits a re quality products at a good price.

Dont know. they could be better, could be worse. Even if they look good, doesnt mean they are good. Ppl quute flow figures. Buit coolers are there to cool so they shoudl bloody quote effeciency figures or kws cooling. Sure they need to flow well, but there is no point hacing a cooler that flows well but deosnt cool.

Thats what i have heard about the cheap cooler, flwo well but dont cool well.

Good quality parts are worth the money as they work well and last. They dont have to be Jap, but i doubt a $199 cooler will get good results. But would be interested to see some tests of a cheap cooler.

also, the end tanks on the cross flow kits (arc and blitz LM) are completely different to turn flow kits....they face the other way, and then its a straight pipe off them....not a bent pipe coming out of the end tank ....just letting you know

and some people have paid like $900 for custom piping....+200ish for a cheap core...thats arc,blitz money already...

      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.
