Bahahahahahaha!

Also, some one mentioned a guy flushed his engine with water, any one got a link, i gotta see that thread lol. How some people that stupid manage to survive till adult hood is beyond me.

oh there have been plenty of other great cockups. there was the guy who "ported and polished" his head by hooking the intake up to a bag of sand and then started the car. then there was the guy that came up with DEI, direct exhaust injection where the headers just fed back into the intake so it would be pressurised, just ignoring the fact that you need oxygen to make the fuel burn, and the oxygen gets burnt up with the fuel. i'm sure there have been others as well that i can't think of right now.

Lol thats ridiculous. Here is the link to the guy who decided to use water to flush the bad oil out of his Mustang. lol.

here is another good one, but goes to 65 pages though

Titled Spanish tuner

some mods in the thread

those are "sin grooves" "that will make the mixture travel faster to the centre of the chamber, thus improving efficiency"

new clutch but maybe wrong splines?

no worries, grind off the centres

weld back on

theres heaps more, just check out the pics if you don;t have time to read

Ahh this one.. this guy aparently "tuned" a 4g63 motor.. I think when he started it, it was pissing fuel out from somewhere.. lol.(wouldnt even IDLE.. LOL)

btw love the new clutch held together by spot welds.. Should be good for 10Nm Torque. lol

lol there's an almost identical thread to this which has been sent to the wasteland, pretty sure the 'bag of sand in the intake' one was someone taking the piss, well thats what the original thread seems to say anyway.

BTW marc, the old GQ here has Exhaust Gas Recirculation from the headers back into the intake apparently for fuel economy or some other BS

i read all 65 pages of that spanish tuner thread, the last like 30 pages are just car club memebrs from arond the world checking in to say the thread reached their forums. The thread got 2 million views though.

But the 4g63 eclipse he "tuned" including XS power turbo that he lunched the blades on, one piece solid intercooler piping with no flex joints, one pice exhaust, welded clutch, leaking fuel system include fuel pickup 'bored out' with a hacksaw...wait for it... made 360 or so hp...on TWO BAR of boost. Needless to say it lunched more bits on second dyno run and by that stage the guy realised the world was watchin his idiocy an stopped posting updates. Well worth a read for a solid laugh! Oh, and he has the MOST pro respraying skills ever, you gotta check it out, waht with SAU Show n Shine comin up we could learn a thing or two...

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
