Im actually surprised the cop knew enough to recognize the car was stock standard...

I suppose some if them may actually know what they are talking about...

More like he popped the bonnet and didn't see a bright colour pod and bling bling fmic piping so he assumed it was stock

I had my i/c piping painted black and cut a section of the stock snorkel to fit around the piping. I also have a pod shielding around my filter that I painted black aswell, only somebody who knew what they were looking at could tell it wasn't stock.

Ha the irony... you do realise that HID kits on R33s are illegal and void your insurance policy?

Umm yeah i do, i don't have HID's on my car though :D

Any HID kit fitted to a vehicle where HID's don't come from factory are illegal because they don't have self levelling functions. Then again what doesn't void your insurance these days.

Luckily im insured with Shannons and all my mods have been listed so i should be fine :laugh:

how much do Shannons cost?

Good idea Yo-Yo, I'm gonna paint my pod housing black too

angryghost you can purchase some flexible heat shield material from clark rubber for $20 a metre,

they're silver and only provides heat resistence on one side, the other side is soft foam.

Here's my topic about it Cold Air For Pod Filter

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      Could it really happen......

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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...
