You don't need it but you definitely want it.

You should get your tuner to hook up the consult and in the active test section they can activate it and deactivate it to see if the solenoid is working. You can hotwire it to test the solenoid also (direct from a 12v source)

If it's not wiring or solenoid problem, then the Nistune is to blame

The tuner had to change the values in the Nistune software to get it working (more accurately, switching at correct rpm) again after changing from a PFC.

Beats me what the settings were before and after but it didn't seem to switch at 1500rpm but more like 3000rpm using the default settings for a neo.

VTC TP cut value was changed from 56 to 38. I am not sure if there was another issue.

does VCT make that much of a difference?

had an issue with my VCT when activated, would make a grinding noise? (according to my tuner that is) so he deactivated it.

stumped to why it would make the noise tho.

im running without VCT atm and its fine.

no issues at all.

ive been told without VCT you lose some power, havent seen any dyno graphs to confirm this tho lol

Yeah i say try fix it, it is definitely noticeable once you get it back.

Might as well whore a picture for you, this was a recent tune on my R33. We were trying to find the best place to have it switch off, tuned it all the way with it on, then all the way off to see where the curves intersect. Run out of fuelpump hence why they dont meet in this curve :P

As you can see there is a substantial difference!

But, once the fuel was sorted, in my case it seemed to make the most difference in torque and power switching off at 4900rpm.

The other thing we changed was, we set it so it wont turn on untill the ECT is above 50'C. Cos when the car was idling it would click on and off and f**k with the AFR's and ignition. Im unsure if the stock ECU does a temperature activation too? Im guessing it might seeing as its oil operated?

Stock Neo ECU needs to see 70deg to enable VCT.

Ah! Good to know. In that case i might up my setting 10-20'C too.

I just had another thought, i dont know why it popped into my head, but is the NEO VCT infinitely adjustable? Kind of like the IVTEC in K20a Hondas?

Like with the R33, its just on and off. No other variables. But for some reason im thinking the NEO VCT is also load sensitive too? Or have i got it mixed up with something else?

Soooo noone actually has any idea what the problem could be? Example im thinking stock ecu but not sure anyone can shed some light?

Suggestions were made, you have offered no further input

Also, my crystal ball stopped working last week

    • 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.
