I imagine the 350 will spool nicely lol

Yeah needed the ignitor bolts as the threads for it in the carbon coil cover were a size smaller for some reason. So just ordered some from pro bolt to check them out, good product :)

Will be ordering some new bolts for the spoiler end covers and a few more bits soon. Should look good

O.K so I've done some painting trialing out the colour I'm gonna paint a couple of things

Think its a pretty good colour, just have to see if the paint sticks alright and finish prepping the rocker covers, should look much better then the ones on there now anyway

looks good Callan, never thought of painting the covers black.

Today was eventful. Tuned a RB25\30 with the GT3076, and Vipec. Fitted the boost solenoid, and configured all of the boost maps. The cool thing - The boost valve that Vipec sell as their own, is exactly the same as the Gizzmo boost control kit that I had in my R33.

Anyway, holds boost perfect, set it to 18psi, and configured all fuel to nice and safe.

Took a while to get the aircon idle settings happy but they are pretty close now. So many things to configure and get balanced out with the idle areas thats for sure. Might trawl a bit of the forum to see how others are having luck with it.

Now we're just waiting for the Digital knock kit to arrive, so we can fit and I can start cranking more timing into it. Also going to set up the knock maps so the ECU can pull some timing if there is any knock detected.

Lastly, there is a very advanced water meth kit being looked at, and then more timing if we get that fitted. I think he's going to wait until after xmas though.

Getting depressed - I need to start get another car and get into my own projects again.

But it was still a good day, its running beautifully and frying tyres easily, even with f**k al timing added. He's very happy.

Its evoke metallic, holden (VE) colour. looks really dark in the shade and sparkley grey in the sun. think it should look good :)

Ignitor bracket fitted. need to order more pretty bolts to:

yeah gonna see about some titanium blue bolts for the covers, but as long as my half moons turn up this week I'll put them on this weekend. Should look the goods.

Will paint the CAS soon, pulled my old one apart the other day, so I know how to do that now. The inner bearing was pretty wrecked, no wonder it was making all that noise lol

    • 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?
    • 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.
    • 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...
