I say, old chaps, I do appear to be suffering some minor homosexual tendencies when posting on this fine forum. My browser of choice is the fabled Internet Explorer but alas, when I submit a post it appears not once, but twice! It's just not cricket.

Stoopid pintaras...

Got home from work yesterday and noticed my brake lights were stuck on :D. Don't know when it started, but presumably it was yesterday sometime or my battery would have been flat yesterday morning.

Fortunately, all the inconsiderate, uneducated, and generally incompetent drivers of Brisbane somehow managed to avoid running up my a*se despite having no indication of when I was stopping :bigthumb:. Good job, team!

So I got out my multimeter ready for some HK electrical diagnosis. After doing some Houdini tricks I managed to unplug the switch that triggers off the brake pedal. Lights go out. Then I used a bit of wire to bridge the contacts, lights come back on. That settles it then: the switch is faulty. Out I go to the ute, perform some even more impressive Houdini tricks (since it is parked beside the house and you can’t open the driver’s door) and manage to get the switch out of it. Back to the coupe, but as I go to remove the switch from it, I notice that there is a hole in the brake pedal where it should be triggering the switch. So basically, the pedal is not actually pressing on the switch. Well that explains it, there’s obviously meant to be something in that hole. I found half a dozen pieces of rubber in the foot well that almost re-assemble to form a rubber stopper. That would be it! BACK to the ute now, more Houdini tricks to remove that rubber stopper this time, then again to put it into the coupe. Fixed!

Profit.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By feartherb26 · Posted

      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.
