I was hoping to get down to watch/photograph this but I ended up getting roped into work so won't be able to make it.

I was down there 2 weeks ago tho and this was the scene - Hope its not quite so bleak for you guys...

Go Dave.

Big effort queenslanders!

Is anyone going to UAS for supplies tomorrow morning before the track? If so maybe you could pick something up for me and bring it down.

Sucks to hear, Dave, but I hope putting it back together and tuning it goes well.

Man, you Queenslanders are also pushing boundaries - hope you and Bunts have a good time while you're down.

Bah, Adam, if I'd known I would have grabbed it for you to bring along to the Ignition DVD meet at Homebush.

Well we might be 1 person less, my WRX mate just called to let me know he way at the mcdonalds on the hume. I thoughjt it was funny but for some reason he did not see the funny side. He is busy tomorrow and probably cant make it, but he will try.

I on the other hand just found out my L2S has expired, what are my chances of getting it renewed today?

sad to say after a massive effort the boys at the workshop fell a little short, car is sorted now but we wouldn't have gotten there till 4am :thumbsup:

So now it is in getting a permanent fix to the problem rather than a temp one, we will be down in a month or two for an open day!

Andy.

Oil Cooler FINALLY on.. what a pain in the ass should of just paid someone to install it <but got quoted $300 kinda put me off> slept at 4am this morning :)

Then after 3 hours sleep wheel alignment at 8:30..

So pretty much ready to go just need to fill up petrol & jerry can and get some sleep

SEE EVERYONE TOMORROW HOPE THE WEATHER IS GOOD ;)

    • 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...
