To answer a few questions.

Ok i added my avatar here.

I got the redtop and all the gear for a real good price so i couldnt pass it up. i can always upgrade to a silvertop if i like.

I chose the rb20 over the sr for a few reasons which have been discussed before. also sr20's have been done heaps of times in these cars. this will be australia's first rb engined e21. even if it is a dirty red top! haha

no camera plus engine isnt in was trail fitted now everything is taken apart. i.e diff etc. not easy finding aftermarket parts for these buggers wil post once its all in

There's a guy on eurocca.net who is wel into a project involving a heavily modified 2j and a e30. but thats going a bit off topic.

In reguards to the redtop, i have already pissed off the butterfly's in the manifold. once i get it all in, plated and running ill certainly look t a low mileage silvertop, or maybe build one up outside the car with forget internals and that.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.
