hahahahah

yeah it was the loose cannon behind the wheel! heheh

Richard - thanks for the kind words mate - exactly right, Im glad it never happened to me when I had the R33! that would have been costly!

lol dont worry, your SR20 is safe!

Charles @ Ando - maybe 5 years time I'll have an SR in there! or....maybe 5 years time I'll have a mx5 SP turbo racer!

So yeah, car is back at mine, going to be sitting under the bed sheets in the garage for a couple months till after my wedding and honeymoon.

The guys at Unigroup had a look at it all and feel it shouldnt be too hard to fix, minor damage. So plan is Tony at All cylinder heads will do head work with some port and pollishing. Im going to buy some cams, and get it put back together and tuned. pistons dont look damaged, worst case a valve or two may be bent. well, fingers crossed its minor!!!

Now you are talking - forget the SR20 go for something big.

I can just see a LS1 under the bonnet of your red baby and I am sure that Stuart will head you in the right direction with the install.

V12 is a winner for sure. just don't think about the iridium spark plug bill on that bad boy! lol. only 3 times your current donk and probably as much as a BP engine rebuild.

LOL

I'll get them to take some for me!

And unfort I was going to do a bit of a bigger build...however with just purchasing a house I can really afford to just get the head fixed.

Was going cams, ecu, maybe pistons etc but sadly, getting just the head fixed will have to do for now.

at least I'll be back on the track hopedully soon, been to bloody long!! (december!!)

  • 3 weeks later...

should be back by end of the week ;)

who wants to guess my rw killawasps!?!?!?!?!?!

so yeah, the head wasnt as badly damaged as first thought. a few broken valves, head has now had some extra work done with it so maybe another few hp im hoping haha

will post up results!

    • 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...
    • 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.
