lol flux capacitors.....one day mine will see the sunlight again.

stay away from the cheap willwood callipers they are poor quality and flex like crazy. obviously their expensive stuff is as good as anyone else's expensive stuff.

the only brakes i would spend money on for a budget build are the ksport/d2/g4/whatever 8 piston ones. I have 3 sets of them on different cars, they are excellent

I forgot about the club crane...thanks steve :(

Im gonna pull the motor down on the floor, it will be easy enough to get a bare block onto the stand once its being decked and hot tanked.

Linton - you need a new partner lol :ninja:

haha... nah shes alright :cool: ... i forgot to add in that little story, that the lifting strap i was using i nicked from work... and it was in the "do not use" box with a danger tag on it... and the carport roof was under a little bit of stress with a 200kg RB swinging around... so... she was the smart one and stood well back..

she doesnt bat an eyelid to any of my stupid ideas... like taking a perfectly good, registered and driving r32 off the road for 2 years to completly ruin it and make it an undriveable cop.

to get my engine off the stand and onto the back of my ute... i wedged a support in under a beam in our carport (35x70 non structual pine), threw a chain around a couple of the joists and and lifted the engine with a block and tackle... backed the ute under it and lowered it down onto the back.. it took all of 3 min and no dramas... the carport was stressing a little, but nothing major, it was all over in a short period.. i removed the stand attachment while it was on the ute...

im sure you could do this in reverse.. bolt the stand attachment on to the engine on the ground... then lift it up and slot it straight into the engine stand.. take 2 secs.

      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.
