Hi guys..

Ok.. done a search already on this..

After installing a catback exhaust, it is making these POP noises when coasting in gear. Kinda like gun shots.

My car (r32 GTST) is standard minus a pod filter, walbro fuel pump and catback exhaust. It is running 0.8 bar boost (13.5 almost 14psi)

So I've concluded that I'm running rich and that the fuel is not getting burnt and shot into my exhaust which is hot.. where it ignites and makes the bang? I am correct so far right?

Anyhow.. my questions are: how come my car is running rich with such very few modifications? what is the explanation behind this?

How can i get it to run normal? It's come down to a retune or an SAFC.

A Retune on a stock ecu running such little mods is stupid IMO.. but how much will it cost roughly?

And how much rougly would it cost to install/tune a SAFC?

Thanks in advance, Ben.

The standard exhaust is designed to restrict engine power, to keep with ADRs, what happens when you open it up is, the engine produces more power at the rev range> more air so the ecu adds more petrol to be safe.

Your stock ECU at that boost level is useless

Definiately need a 3 inch front and dump pipe giving you 15-20rwkw

Your at the limit the stock turbo can handle I recently got an SAFC 2 and it's a must with 14psi

I got my SAFC from Nengun for like 350 installed it myself and cost 200 for tune

Good Luck

      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.
