haha you're a funny bastard Nick.

Yea Chris been On the forum for a little bit just haven't posted anything as I haven't had anything useful to contribute (probably still don't haha) excited to meet up with some of the peeps on here :)

pretty sure you have met everyone on here (toowoomba anywah) already. Maybe not evo nick though

Am have a bbq and drinks on Saturday night if any of you regulars want to come around for a few drinks and a catch up. Just swing me a pm or text if you want to come and will give you the new address and time

Hey guys quick question - due to my car being from the gold coast and our obvious atmosphere difference up here would that make it incredibly difficult to start the car in the morning? Also I get zero boost in first and alot less in second than I used to a week ago when I picked it up... The blitz id3 is only registering 4psi peak when it used to be around 16 in second. I'm taking it out of town this arv for a more definitive test on actual peak boost

After that I'd check the turbo too....first check the actuator tension and if the actuator rod hasn't hopped off it's wastegate flap spindle. Then remove compressor intake pipework and check how the turbo spins/feels/play etc. Shagged turbo or popped off actuator rod will mean very low boost also.

Couple things for ya to start with ;)

And another thing that could easily bugger things up is a faulty AFM or just a blob of oil on the AFM's sensor...another thing you can add to your list.

And speaking of air/fuel mixtures....sparkplug, coil packs and block fuel filter/injector can also cause low boost....although the deterioration of these is usually gradual in nature. Sounds like this thing just happened all of a sudden?

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • 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...
    • 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?
    • 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.
