Hi everyone,

As stated above I am fitting my new exhaust tommorow after a long wait for a Cat and was wondering if you guys can give me some advice?

On the front side of the cat on the standard exhaust there is this funny shaped bracket thingy (Yes i know, very technical wording eh!) that bolts onto the floor pan. It is only bolted onto the compliance cat so should I take this off and whack it onto my new system or just leave it off?

Ill try and put a photo up after dinner.

Thanks in advance

Dave

I know what you're talking about. You should put that back on. It holds the exhaust so it doesn't wobble around, otherwise, it might rattle bolts loose, and cause stress to components etc. It'll probably be alright without one (my friend's 32 doesn't have one), but i'm a perfectionist and I like things perfect.

That part fit perfectly on my 3" cat. I believe it's the bracket at the end of your dump/front pipe, where it meets the cat? If so, that holds the weight of the dump/front section so that it doesn't lever off the turbo and break the bolts or crack the turbo.

yeah keep that for sure!!

mine was in between my cat and dump pipe (inside the mounts where the gasket 'should' be) - which i thought was stupid for sealing, so i unbolted it from the body of the car and then reattached it on the outside of the mounts (almost was in tears trying to force it to stay behind the mounts while it was still bolted to the body - but it was piss easy after i unbolted it and then reattached it to the body)

fits perfectly on the outside of the mounts.

      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.

      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)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
