These rims came with the car when I bought it, but not too sure how to tell if they are genuine volk wheels or not.

Ive uploaded some pics below of whats on the back, it says its made in Japan etc, but who knows. Little bit dirty obviously they havent been cleaned in a while :D

With the tyres on they weigh about 16kg - does that sound a bit heavy with the tyre on ??

Would be nice to know if they are genuine or knock offs if I ever decide to sell them.

Well if you take the tyres off hey should weigh about 6kg. also depending what size and width of course, but give or take +1kg

If they all weigh the same atm, you only need to take ONE/UNO/UN tyre off hehe :thumbsup:

haha..should i have meant tyre instead of tyres.

I would be inclined that the individual would be smart enough to do exactly that.

Unless you want to be thorough and 100% sure they're ALL genuine.

If its stamped 'made in japan' on the rear than more than likely its the real deal. Also check for the original stickers on the inner rim, that should give you a fair indication too but just by lookin at it, seems to be the genuine stuff!

well they dont say VORK made by RAVS engineering, thats a good start, to get the actual VOLK stickers would be a massive pain in the arse and not worth it to do it on a non volk rim, just to look like volks, i tried to get new decals for my work meisters.... 16kg is a reasonable weight... not heavy by any means.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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?

      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...
