What are you using at the moment Jeremy?

You just had a highflow installed, didn't you?

Still stock everything ATM, but I have plans for hi-flow R34 turbo and nistune...... plus this, plus that, then that and then another that.

Keen. Got harness and everything needed for it? How much you want for it?

You can keep your spark plugs :P

So you just wire that harness into the car's loom then off to the tuner? Is there wiring info on the cd?

I shall consult with my official mechanic when he gets back from the sticks and let you know.

Col, not good mate. Just make sure you look after yourself and your wife.

McFly, what ECU are you running? A Chipped 33 unit? The SAFC might not allow you to do much besides trimming some of the fueling points. They work great on stock management if you want to up the boost a little on a 'stock' setup.

McFly and Jez, Nistune is the best option in my opinion as it keeps things looking stock and gives you the same *or similar* level of tunability to that of a PFC. Being that you both have 33 setups (McFly I'm assuming you're running S1 33 ECU and loom - or is it a fiddles 31 setup?), The Nistune requires a little jiggery-pokery to work. You will need a Type 2 Nistune Board and a 32DET Ecu or a Z32 DET/DETT board that requires some internal modifications. The mods alter the firing order of the injectors and trigger for the coilpacks.

Type 2 boards with Nistune software go for $420 + GST, then you'll need to find yourself a 32 ECU which I'd allow for $100. Misso might have his laying around somewhere, so bug him. I can solder the board into it for you no worries. The software is nice to use giving you easy options for upgrades. Select the type of airflow meter you have installed and what injector size and it will trim the maps to give you a good base to start from - in a tuning sense.

As for turbos, the more understated it is for a daily street car the better. That 3076R is a nice turbo. A mate of mine had it one with a machined out T28 .63 rear housing on his twin cam 2ltr MX6. The thing laid down 425hp atw. Problem with his was that it was internally gated. Boost control became an issue. That turbo requires it to be externally gated and I think with the housing size will be a let down if you want to keep the same sort of response you have currently.

A complete bolt on kit like a GT-RS or a high flow will be the better option IMO for a street car. I would lean towards the highflow as it can be passed off as`stock and means you don't need to fiddle pipework, etc to fit.

Yeah chipped S1 33 ECU

Yeah mine is essentially a 33 S1 engine loom, just minor fiddling to get it to mate up to the 31 main loom. Nothing that would affect the ECU.

I could find an R32 ecu (looks at ute)... but doesn't that lose the VCT or something?

So in short what you are saying is: it will be a bit laggy?

I would rather have better response than a few moar killa wasps, so I might stick with the high flow option.

A properly good tome, that was.

If you want to keep the VCT you have to go with the z32 ecu.

Just called 'bribane turbo and tuning' or something like that, over at the gabba

To rebuild stock rb25 turbo, assuming parts are available, around $700

To steel-wheel: extra $350ish

To rebuild, high flow & steel wheel: around $2000

Poooooooop.

I didn't think they rebuilt turbos themselves. Pretty sure they source it out. GCG has a great reputation and pretty sure they do their highflows for less.

Hypergear appear to be gaining popularity with their cheap highflows, but I am not sure what their reliability is like.

True... funnily enough I just came across your ad on boost from November, selling an Rb25 turbo. You still got it? I might be keen, to send off to hypergear/GCG to high flow it...

      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.

      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...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
