yep very impressive

read a review where they say the extra 40hp feels like 100, and theyre probably right

ill look into swapping my '10 for an '11 when it hits the showrooms

ill have around 10k kms on it by then

Really? I would just get a tune on an 09 or above. it will feel faster than the new one easily.

as much as i want to, and would have already done so by now, i like being held tight at night with a manufacturer warranty

ive been down the void warranty route in modifying my M3 and it was no fun when things (inevitiably) go wrong

it will be a drainer to have to repaint/clear bra the sills, re-dynamat the rear seats, and swap over a few other bolts on, so ill drive it when its available and see if it's worth the hassle

quick note on that vid, seems theres no axle tramp when using the LC like all the series 1 LC vids

what i really want to know is if they've gotten rid of that 0.5 seconds of no-mans land jumping on the throttle from standstill

It really appears that all the difference besides the extra 40 HP (which would account for all of maybe 0.2 second) is in that initial jump. Other than fine tuning the launch RPM what else could they have done? It would be interesting to observe the boost gauge on the new model to see if they have managed to get the turbos spooling up more with foot on brake and accelerator so that more torque is available instantaneously and more smoothly at lower RPM without the monstrous RPM shocking the drivetrain as was the case with LC1. Has anyone played with the new Cobb Accessport with the TCM module and launched at the preset 3300 or 3700 and seen what difference that makes to 0-100 times?

Very impressive nonetheless. I wonder if the quarter mile has improved significantly?

Yeah i agree. On it's own - compared to common mods most of us do (exhaust, tune, e85, etc) it's nothing specia really, but as a full weight STOCKER car (a fraction of the cost of comparable vehicles) if they are running 0~100km.hr in 3.04s then that is seriously impressive.

Yes but Domino that would be a false economy spending all that cash just to for the sake of maintaining your warranty and be doing sub 3's. You'd be dropping $40K by selling your current car and then having to spend another $20-$30K extra (if the rumours are correct) on the new one. You'd probably be able to buy the AMS or Switzer 1000HP packages for that kind of money and have some left over for the "inevitable" breakages.

However to be more sensible I'd go down the Cobb, Midpipe, E85 route and get Martin to upgrade the trans to take the extra grunt if you're really concerned. Warrranty is worth something but not that much!

the change over wont be a deciding factor

will wait to see how/if it drives any different

as much as i love this car, there are less tangible things i value in the new model - the uprated interior materials, improved paint quality, etc that i will wait to assess in the flesh

      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.
