Cheers for that cubes!

Do you do this in your shed with the car on Jack stands, or is a hoist really more necessary?

Also, where can you get a flywheel machined southern suburbs, and any idea of cost?

Cheers!

I've only done one on the ground with jack stands and found it quite easy.

The old man used to have a pit in the house he recently sold; doing a gearbox in the pit was easy to get to bolts etc BUT getting the thing up and down was a pain in the arse as I had no gearbox lift. :D

No idea of where to get a flywheel machined down south, I used to do it down at a mates girlfriends dads mechanics shop at Aldinga when I was younger. I'll have to look soon though as Im up for another clutch soon. :S

Last time I had my flywheel machined the machinist did it as it was also being balanced for the new motor.

I tried to do some local volunteer work early last year.

It was a government organisation that helped elderly people get to there doctor's apointments, specialists, etc, etc. So i got all the info and arranged to have a meeting with the manager. And i got there and they laughed at me and said "why would a young person like you want to do that" so i went "ok" then and left.

f**k them if they are gonna laugh at me. Try to do something to help the community.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
