haha dont hold back :(

i cracked up when i read this but it is great advice nonetheless

the way i see it, that response from brada31ke70 is like handing someone a $1000 invoice..... do it and its gonna cost you a crank grind, engine flush and new bearings... plus all the relevant labour...

Took of the oil hose to oil cooler, the one that goes the CORRECT way :D to oil pump. Got ~0.5 liter in there while cranking the engine backwards. It sucked the oil straight in. Connect hose back to oil cooler, and behold oil poured out at the turbo oil feed after 10 secs of cranking. ;):D:D

thanks for the help guys! ;)

good to hear mate!

Yes i agree with URAS, get into it, i started mine and drove to petrol station and drove straight out for a road tune on 12psi and was reving it as per normal straight away (well about 15km in oncei got to our tuning location), the thing has done 1200km now and leakdown and comp is spot on, with zero blowby. I kept the run in oil in up to 50km and changed it for new run in oil (same stuff just new batch) until 1000km even though i was pushing the motor hard upto 20psi boost and redline on lots of occasions.

I also plan just to warm her up, check for leaks etc. and get out on the road for tuning. Will only be running ~10 psi boost. After first day which will be about 1 hour total driving i'll change oil. again to mineral oil, and drive with that for the next 1500km.

Luckely i have the vi-pec so it will be a walk in the park to tune in. :-)

I'm a little excited about the difference in combusten if any..?? I have mounted a exhasut temp probe to each cylender. I'm using a copy of the greddy intake manifold.

dont let it idle on warm up...keep varying the throttle...the first 20 mins are vital.

and the rest uras. 1k would only apply if the owner did the r&r as u stated

yrs ago i used to read what body builders would do to get big, end result i have injured my back...good analogy?

roids make ur back sore? :down:

    • 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.
    • 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.
