Need to do Turbo, FMIC, Coilovers, A/C compressor, Seats and Steering Wheel. I know its not that much really but we're talking about me here. Oh and also RB26 Injectors - I believe it already has an upgraded pump, but if not, that too.

i have a case of CC's n dry....very nice taste

So who is going to help me now????

cc dry... you just became my new (temporary) best friend.

lol. ill give you both a hand with all that.

yay i has a temp new friend :P

I will go and see andrew at am on friday and get him to make the intake and dump pipe and that way once they are made we can start on it straight away.....roughly how long will it take Dave to slap it all in????

dunno. depends how many cc dry's ive had and how awkward the rb is to work on. should be about a couple days (i like leaving a margin of error). now takes me about 90 minutes to do a turbo on the sr.

question, rb uses locking tabs on the turbo studs, yeah? if so, f**k them off and buy some prevailing torque nuts, theyre a slight pain in the ass, but i doubt they'll f**k out as quick as the lock tabs.

lol i have no idea what you speak off there Dave.....

lol. find out when we pull your turbo off i spose. but add maybe $10 for half a dozen prevailing torque nuts.

when you wanna do it?

When andrew has finished making the intake and dump pipe....will take the turbo to him on friday

CC is my fav. Basically sleep with the stuff.

However just got nice little connection atm. $80 dollar Cognac bottles for $30. very very nice stuff.

    • 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.
