Has a design been agreed upon yet, Danny?

I believe that HDi have bought out Sabre, yes?

I see on their WEBSITE that they have a WRX FMIC that has a 800 x 210 x 100mm intercooler included.

Could be reasonable size for us if it includes the tanks.

Also, intercooler out of the RX7 kit would be an ideal size (if that is core size and the inlet/outlets are in the right position for us) - 660 x 220 x 100mm with 76mm inlet/outlet.

Nope, Saber and HDi are two different companies (although they're only a few suburbs away here in Western Sydney).

Saber is now owned by Fernando Weirhl, who was the driver of the old chrome AutoSalon/Industrie clothing S15. He also owns BBM Motorsports, and the Saber gear is sold out of the same shop-front.

How did the trial fit go?

Can you see if the guys can use their GT core (but smaller) in the kit?

That's interesting... when I called up "Sabre" from the phone number on their own website, HDi picked up the call.

Okay Update

Car's going into get the FMIC kit done on sunday

The FMIC iteself is a GT core

but a slightly smaller GT2 core

piping will be done at 2.75" for repsonse.

ill have my car with the FMIC on at the M35 meet with the front bar off

so you guys can see wat it's like

Are you saying a 3 inch piping will reduce response?

It will a bit but not noticeably, Its the damn throttle that reduces response!

I guess it depends what your planned power output is as above 200 you will definitely want the 3 inch.

Hmm, 2.75... interesing.

Glad to hear it will use their GT tube and fin core ;)

Do you know if the piping be from the turbo, from the hard pipe (which is attached to the turbo) or from the passenger side bend (after the "s" shaped section)?

Also, will it go to the throttle body or will have require a certain somebody's 76mm throttle body pipe (no plugs here Scotty)?

Sorry for all the questions Danny... but always inquisitive

No worries mate, by the way you got the earlier model 76mm the current production run is the same as the throttle body, 80mm. Sorry. :D

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
