Just Got The Car Back

Hey guys, I've just got my car back from the tuners. I thought I'd share the results...

My plan from the start has been to keep the engine bay looking as stock as possible so the coppers can't pull me up for anything.

Car makes 252.7kW on 19 psi.

Details:

- Stock Internals

- Highflow turbo by ATP with R34 Housing

- S15 480cc Injectors

- Bosch 040 Fuel pump

- 600 x 270 Stealth style intercooler. It uses the return path of the stock cooler.

- 3" exhaust

- Stock Airbox with K&N Panel Filter

- Wolf V4 ECU

- MAP Sensor (for those who don't know, Wolf uses a MAP sensor instead of the AFM)

- Factory boost solenoid

The boost is controlled by the in-built Wolf ECU boost controller which uses the factory solenoid.

I haven't got any pics of the engine bay but it looks fairly stock - just as planned :D

Unfortunately, the stock BOV was leaking and even the mod to stop this didn't work so I've had to block it off for the time being.

Cheers all :D

Thanks guys :)

I'd say EAS Performance done the Wolf tuning if I'm correct in saying that. Love their work.

Yeah, Vick at EAS Performance did the tune. The guy's a wizard when it comes to the Wolf.

Thanks guys :)

I got the turbo through Vick. He works with the ATP High-flow turbo all the time and said 19psi won't hurt it. I'm guessing the R34 housing helps. Johnnilicte, Vick highly recommends these turbos so you could give ATP a buzz and see what they have; I've heard the ATP guy isn't the nicest person to speak to so just keep that in mind :sick:

As for the motor, yes it has stock internals and I brought up the question of 19psi being ok for it. He said it's safe and even went to the effort of showing me through the tune and the slight tweaks he did to preserve the engine.

Having the car as a daily driver, I run it on low boost (8-9psi) most of the time and only chuck it on high boost when I feel like giving it a bit of a squirt. I don't go deca days and such so the car won't be 'hurting' and pushed to it's limit very often.

I've realised there's a lot of debate on how much boost to run for stock engines - some say simply, too much boost kills the engine, others say depends on how safe the tune is or a combination of both.

I was a bit paranoid at first but after Vick explained it, there's more peace of mind. I guess time will tell...

I haven't got a torque graph, but I was told the force at the wheels is about 6500N - I still haven't converted it to Nm.

Suprised its still running.

Why??

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      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.

      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.
