It's not 75%

It's a set RPM determined by the EPA - which is more than that.

Either way, you need to be 89dB @ 4900rpm - that includes on back off/rundown. Which is usually what trips the meter.

Unless you have a stock exhaust, you'll fail.

My memory is hazy on this, but I thought it was around 60% of peak RPM (based on the factory limit) at 500mm at around 45 degree off axis with minimal reflective surfaces during the measurement (the meter must be away from reflective surfaces.)

Can't remember where I had this information though, so not 100% sure it's right...

EDIT: actually I thought it was 50% of max rpm...

Gotta find the EPA doc...

Well.. If he said you'll get it in the mail - guess what? You'll get it in the mail :merli:

You really need to have a read of this thread. It'll give you a fair idea of what you need to change.

You'll only need to change the things that can be picked up. ECU is obvious, you already know that. So what else does the ECU control? Injectors, AFMs etc. Only stock items can run on a stock ECU etc.

Unless you own a gtr which when it rolled out of the factory in japan was over the 90db limit for Australia ... go figure that one out.

A while ago i read there was specific areas that are exempt from height rules, from what i read it was a meter either side of the axles, downloaded the mod guide from vic roads to check and there is nothing in there any more, it is a new one too, october 2011 is the date on it now.

Last time i looked at it exhaust manifolds were free as long as all the original fittings were retro fitted, now you need to have documents from the manufacturer to say that the manifold you are using is suitable for that car/engine, im glad my chinese stainless manifold cracked and i went back to standard.

seems things are getting worse

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
    • 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)?
