It wasnt as good as Last year.... (and doesnt even come close to final battle either) i have been to a few of these around aus and i was very dissapointed with the turnout of cars seeing there is only 1 show now in melbourne... or it could be me because i have seen 90% of al the cars b4 and not much has changed....

i did see quite a few SAU stickers too,... we had 3 Members on our Stand (the Black Stagea, the Purple 32 GTR with 34front, and Ferahs 34GTT)

even though i wasnt as happy with the show its not stopping me from going again and again... it would be good to see more Clubs as well... its a shame SAU didnt have something....

Oh BTW Congrats to Nathan with his Stagea winning 1st in its Class in DB Drags :thumbsup:

Thanks Ferah, I had a great weekend with you guys and we would love to enter with you again next year.

Yeah congrats to Nathan (my lil brother) for his first DB win, I'm sure he will enter again next year with something bigger and better.

He will be competing on the dyno to hopefully.

Again from me, thanks to the whole Team Ignite crew you are all a great bunch of people and I hope to see you all again soon.

Yeah Autosalon wasn't too bad. I had fun!.

Definatly getting smaller and smaller by the year. And the turnout of crowds, cars and even trade stands are fast dissapearing.

And who saw the silver supra push out 955kw... what a load of sh!t. The dyno operaters were struggling to hold down cars with 350kw yet they can hold a 950kw car?? :)

      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.

      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...
