Hope all is well with John, Tim and Co.

where am I gonna take my car now, they know it all too well :)

Huge fire started in the hoby shop and appears dodgy wiring from previous tenants started it. Doubling up multiple double adapters in a sealed front cabinet. The intense heat actually bent huge RSGs where the main fire was in the hoby shop which relocated early this year to the opposite end of the building upstairs.

Our office was fairly dry from water from above just wet on floor there so lucky I guess. Paul your car was one of the first out.

Late yesterday have the phones working although operating from dyno room. Showroom power should be up today and workshop not too far behind. Our side of the building is OK structrally although may be some distruption whilst building above. The engineers are coming today to check it out and advise and a chance they may have to fence it all off which will be very bad.

So phones working, fax working, and workshop operating in part out of dyno room mainly, until power comes back on. Orders being processed from today. Thanks for everyones support. We will only be bigger and better after this and keep smiling.

My sister is constantly doing deliveries to the printers in that same complex and told me about it. She gave me the same information that John has posted, possible dodgy wiring within the hobby shop's premises. Apparently the current owner of the hobby shop was emotionally gutted as he had a lot of personal items stored there, including some models he had built when he was young(er)...

She took this shot of the place and sent it to me. Not a great shot because it's from a phone, but it gives you some idea...

Good to hear it's had minimal effect on UAS, John.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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)?
