average speed was above 130 and got booked at 137 at roma ( damn it).

highest speed was bout 150 on the highway the other side of mt isa!

lol that's faster than you went at the Maryborough sprints... (or any of us for that matter!) Weren't you heading up that way only a couple of months ago when you dropped into wheels on wide bay for a look this year?

P.S. what's with you not getting a drive yet Russ??! :thumbsup:

lolol , well sorry Russ but seems I'm now Johnny on the spot :happy: .... not my fault you moved up there! :D

You were damn lucky not to get the fine for 140 mate, instant loss of licence! Did the big 'cruiser get up without needing 5 litres of oil topped up? lol :thumbsup:

I can very happily confirm I drove the thing yesterday and the mirror is solid as a rock now ;)

I came out late and did not get to see your run mate but I heard that you went into the 53 :P

You know you gotta give more feedback about the drive than just a short blurb on the mirror you know :P

And you didn't come say hi?!?!

Mid 54's actually, but in my defence I'd never driven that track layout before, or the car obviously, quite a bit to learn in six laps :O

The car is amazing, Mark said my eyes were like dinner plates when I stepped out, it's such a sweet little handler, but the standout for me would have to be the gearbox, wayyyyy cool that is!

Oh, and having all wheels spinning in 5th gear at the bump between turn 1 and 2 is pretty funky :)

Yeah we discussed it getting a passenger seat yesterday, will be difficult due to the muffler box but we'll try. Other peeps neeeeed to experience this car!

And funnily enough, I'm the only person other than Mark to have driven it..... the back of my throat is bruised. haha :)

OMG! You got to drive that ;):O:O You get to do everything your my hero! :):P A passenger seat is a must! If there is a will there is a way..Getting a hot lap in that would top my ride in a radical I reckon :O

*I really need to read the above posts" LOL

Sure, its a nice car. But you cant tell me you didnt jump from it just itching to get behind the wheel of an RB20 powered BOHEMOTH GTSt ! :)

haha I might be joining this RB20 clan shortly! They better be all you guys crack them up to be....

P.s Roy your car is a personal favourite of mine..Loved it on song at DECA!

Mate, with eyes that large even girl would stay away from ya :P

Seriously, I got out there quite late and a lot of people went home aldready. Briefly spoke to Mark and did not know that you were out there until I talked to Dazmo in the evening.

That is an awesome time for first time on that track and in the car. Hope you get some more practice with it ;)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.

      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...
