Absolutely! Where did you go for this? PM me all the details pls

I went direct to pete at PLMS, he installed it and sold me a licence as well as did a quick tune, all for $500 - still needs a proper dynotune but that'll come later.

If all they did was burn a chip, I'd be majorly pissed.... esp for that amount of money

ok so i have called the tuner AGAIA, and now he says that he didnt think i wanted to get the car tuned anywhere else but with him hence why he didnt put the nistune in..

is there more than one nistune? coz i asked for a nistune..

i didnt think there was more than one nistune..

any ideas what i can do..?

he is pretty much not doin ne thing to help except tell me i should have gone back to him..

the idea is that on occasions like this when i need a tune ASAP and the closest place is boost works then i go there...

If you asked black and white for a nistune board, then he has to provide man,

as far as forcing him to pay out etc I don't know, its harsh but sometimes easier to deal with the loss, spread the bad word amoungst everyone and move on.

Hope you get some coin out of this bastard though Age!

oh im furious..

he says now that he didnt understand i wanted a nistune to be installed..

like how may nistunes are there? i caled a few workshops and asked

"if i want a nistune and remap what would i get?"

they said "u would get a board installed into your ecu and a image put on to that(remap)"

dont think its too hard eh?

I completely agree with you man,

Just ring the tuner up and be completely up front with him, say you want a refund to recouperate 'some' of the funds and see what he says. Be firm about it don't let him talk you out of it. Scare him with the power of 'Word of mouth' :P

Being the import scene, few bad stories going round of this particular 'tuner' and he will loose alot of his income that'll hurt him more.

I doubt hed give a refund, but as a gesture of good will it would be acceptable for the tuner to finally fit a nistune board (if it hasnt already been done at bw)

Otherwise then I suppose a refund of $240 for a board that was never installed would be appropriate

As i said to Adrian on MSN i don't think he quoted for the board, a board + install + tune would be around the $7-800 mark. So what he paid for he got but there was a communication breakdown some where. If he paid $7-800 then he should get some money back.

Thats what I meant,

The idea of Adrian getting a full refund is not likely.

      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

      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.
