ok heres another question, if the stock boost is sposed to be 7psi,then if i put a exaust on it,will it creep higher without me doin anything, reason i ask is i wanna up the boost a little,to around 11-12psi,for high boost but when i drive around normally it sometimes reaches 10psi then drops back down to around 7psi, will setting the boost at 12psi be any difference? and is it really safe?

ive got 3" exaust,stock cooler,and pod filter and i always run it on optimax

With the boost bleed std boost was 12psi but for some reason with the EBC it is 10.6psi.?!?!?!

I'm guessing it was the restrictor type setup that was put in the bleed that I wasn't aware of.

Well according to the hand controller it is 10.6psi.

Could it be wrong?

The +7 line on the guage in the dash is supposed to be 13.5psi. when I set the ebc to 15psi the needle just starts to nudge over it.

are you serious the +7 is supposed to be 13.5psi?!?!?!

cos ive got a bleeder set to 13psi and its always maxing out the std guage but reading 0.9bar on the HKS one.....

however one thing ive learnt is not to rely on std guages so ill stick to reading the mechanical one i think...

And who said eeekkk.. Import cars are expensive to repair buy a ford/holden.

My old man.. :(

Funny thing is even if they were more expensive to repair I had a diff die in the VS V8 Manual at 90,000kms, a gearbox around the same time and the rear IRS chassis cracked where the diff is bolted on and the arse end dropped to the ground with the bumper touching the cement. :confused:

ok so thats $1200 for the g/box (which was still rattled after rebuilt), $1000 for the diff, $1700 to repair the chassis.

and that was with only 140rwkw. Imagine trying to put more power through it.

This all happened after about 9 months of owning the car. :burnout:

I've owned the R32 GTS-T now for a year or so and nothing has broke or damaged. :)

When i first got mine, I had no idea cause the standard gauge is really hard to read accuratlly. So i went and bought an Auto meter gauge.

I had 6psi standard. Then i spent al @@#$ load of money and now i can run 17psi. I can also go higher, but my gauge only goes to 20. So i call 17psi enough in dry conditions... LOL

I usually run 8 or 10 psi daily....

Then i pump it up to 15-17psi for dyno/circuit racing...

I was peaking 10psi on the dyno but it wouldn't stay there, it would settle around 8psi when she was dead stock.

It made 115rwkw dead stock on RPMS Dyno. & with the fuel pressure bleed it made 125rwkw but i was running BP Premium (95 RON) and if Tim advanced it any more it would ping :D

With timing & good fuel it should have made 130rwkw.

Exhaust a little bit of timing & fuel tune it made 152rwkw @ 12psi.

Then with 12psi still up top it made 156rwkw with alot more timing (25deg) and no pinging. :)

      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.
