Hi all,

The engine is now well run in. Has just under 1000kms on it.

But i now have a small exhaust leak coming from somewhere under the manifold(i hope its not the manifold) the exhaust note is very angry, i kind of like it lol

And my gearbox has developed a whine. Sounds like it has straight gears in it. The gearbox has seen better days and was planning to swap it out for a new OEM one. I guess it will be happening sooner than expected.

Im dropping the oil and filter again tomorrow to put some good stuff in it. It will be getting its full tune on the 7th of August at JEM's new factory.

So if anyone has nothing better to do on a Thursday morning swing past and check it out.

Ok exhaust leak is fixed. The flange on the wastegate to screamer was not bolted up correctly.

Now the car is alot quieter. Especially when the gate cracks open :rolleyes:

Thanks for the comment Marlon see you out at Adams.

Hi all,

Had the car tuned on Thursday and came out with a nice result. However the first few runs the boost was climbing like crazy,up to 25psi before Adam backed off. The wastegate is too small and will need a bigger one fitted. So as a bandaid fix Adam crimped the BOV vacuum line,we got a base boost level of 17psi.

So i asked Adam to do a basic tune to that boost level. With only 45mins on the dyno we achieved this result:

As you can see the power delivery is very smooth and is still making power over 7000rpm. He said with more tuning we will see 300rwkw at this boost level easily.

Adam tells me at 20psi and a good day on the dyno 320rwkw will be achievable.

On the road it feels bloody amazing,and just keeps pulling all the way to the redline.

But the car will be off the road for a little longer so i can get a few little issues sorted.

Hey Dave, like i said before great outcome on only 17 pound!! Spewing i missed you down there, i should've known you'd be in there first thing. Must be a nice handful on the street. Definately be watching your next dyno run on 20+ pound :banana:

PS how awesome is Adams new shop!? He'll be loving it once its all set up with 4wd dyno etc

cmon be fair. shit happens sometimes, god knows I've had 2 motors that didn't even make 1000klm due to unexpected problems.

Its up to Dave to say what happened if he wants to. pretty simple problem with nasty results.

Agreed *jumps on bandwagon* ;)

    • 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...
