You do not go to illegal drag meets, and try and paint a picture that things are "good".

The typical people taht attend such things are the kinda dumb idiots you see on Highway Patrol... it'll never end well.

If you wanted to paint enthusiasts in a good light, you would come to a sanctioned and legal event.

maybe he should write a story about internet safety? At least it wouldnt be a waste of ink.

I can predict the title, "hoons are also internet pirates stealing all your personal information!"

I thought the age was better than this :)

F*** ya'll! Just because there's a controversial thread doesn't mean I have to offer up my opinion! So anyway...

I'm thinking this Ian fellow has gone about this totally the wrong way. But to be honest it sounds more like a troll than a genuine enquiry - journalists can be stupid, but who is stupid enough to throw a negative label over the people you want to speak to like that? Or perhaps he's actually doing a story on SAU and wanted to find out our reactions to such a question.

In the event that it is genuine...I'm sorry that you expected to find hoons here...we have a couple who aren't too bright (every car club does) but most of us are car enthusiasts. Future tip: don't call the person you want to speak to, a hoon. You might as well have called them a no good f***ing idiot. If I were a hoon I sure wouldn't want to talk to you. And I don't want to talk to you...so does that make me a hoon? Errr :)

I equate this to doing a report on serial killing and asking to spend a weekend with a serial killer, asking him to show you a thing or two by killing some people and then (assuming you survived the weekend) writing an article whinging about how much murder there is nowadays (read: you really are stupid).

If you want a real article that will get read then go against the pop-media grain and write something about differentiation of car enthusiasts from car hoons. Underground infiltration has been done to death.

Yeah. And lets not forget about the extra taxes Journalists have placed on lands that are an abutment of Church grounds....so yeaaah.....lets do it.

      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.
