First of all, even in 5-6-7 years stuff wont change, they will get better. A piston is a piston, conrod=con rod. Turbo might spool faster. A better computer might make an apperance. But all in all It will be the same thing.

#2 I want all the information I can get

#3 I'm dead serious about this build, It may not be perfect right now, but I'm working on it.

#4 I plan on building this engine right. I'm a perfectionniste. I dont care if the engine cost 25-30000$ to build, I'm doing it right the first time.

#5 Yes i'm only buying the car next year, but I plan to buy peice by peice until I have enough to rebuild everything.

I'm sorry you guys see this as a waste of time. Sorry for your lost time. I won't bother you guys anymore

Thanks for the info that some of you guys gave me! Really helpful

Cheers

Did somebody say Vi-PEC?

im outa here.....wooshhh!!!

Ash likes to say silly things like "Power FC will do the job" but upgrades his operating system to Windows 7 the day it is released. He like to embrace new computer technology for his desktop but leaves his car computer technology way back in the 1990's. lol

You're gonna stir Ash up again and turn this into a Vipec versus PFC thread AGAIN! lol

But I tend to agree PFC does the job but what ECU to go with pretty much depends on your objective/tuner for the choice of ECU.

Oh yea, I like the handcontroller display too. It tells me what I need to know or to just monitor stuff like knocking.

A $5 hooker with 9 STD's will "do the job" too... time to move on from old mate PFC!

I would rather my ECU do something about the knock rather than tell me it is happening.

If you had a decent tuner and parts you wouldn't get knock in the first place - touche!

I've not had one knock on the PFC above 30 in 10,000km's!

lol @ you Paul, won't work today, too much caffine makes me silly :blink:

Its a good to have feature and this is something I would rather have than to pay for extra features that are of no use to me. But to each his own. I might get a Vipec or something else down the track when I'm after more power but now, the PFC will do everything thats required.

And like Ash mention its more of the tuner that does the magic, not the ecu.

lol actually I will bite on 2nd thoughts... Yes i upgraded to Win7 rather fast, for my main PC.

but....

My media centre is actually running XP on 5yr old hardware… So is my laptop... Why you might ask?

Because it works perfectly for the job that it was designed for... and wait for it... My requirements ;)

Sorry to hijack a little GTRaddict - it's all relevant... kinda ;)

      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.

      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...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
