Actually i was at Elsternwick Audi looking/drooling over the R8 with my son, and telling him about how Mr P1 will/should have one soon. Not 5 minutes later Mr P1 rang.... cut forward a few hours later, and my son (and his dad :) ) has his first ride in a Massa QP. :thumbsup:

I know all about things nor going to plan…..

Tuesday I went out to a customers site for a Preventative maintenance on a machine. Easy enough. Took very little time to complete, until I powered it back up again. Critical disk read error. Spoke with the customer and arranged to fit a new drive on Wednesday. No problems, left home @ 7am, got there about 10am. Damn traffic and road works. This just so happened to be the day of the bad winds, etc.

Got home around 4pm and got a call from another site in Heidelberg saying that their instrument had a drive failure also. So I went back to work, battled through peak hour traffic with rain, wind and drivers who have forgotten to drive, to fix the instrument. Disk replaced and all appeared to be well. Until I got home at 9pm. Phone rang again, the same customer, saying that the heaters were not coming up to temperature. The damn state files were currupt. So Out I went again and fixed this problem.

I finally got home again at around 12am, and was looking forward to sleep. But guess what…… I couldn't sleep.

Oh, I remember the days.. Eagerly waiting beside the letter box, hoping that the postman would bring me the latest bunch of letters from "The Wasteland".

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
