Great news :) I look forward to hearing your final results when the tune is finished and when you get some dry weather!!

Thats a bugger mate but i can tell you that you will be happy with your turbo selection from my first feel of my car today and the sound is good too :)

Thanks Andrew, glad u were there to give me a few neat little tricks especially the one on how U remove the side feed injectors from the rail. Loved that one.

Did a tiny bit of road tuning. Was wet and scary, but so far so good. Turbo is nice and responsive and has an awesome sound.

I just got home and left at 6 this morning. So a 16hr day. I couldnt leave micko there without getting it finished, i could tell he had been itching to drive it since he started ordering all the parts.

man when i said it should be easy for you, I thought you had a shop ..wait u do have a shop dont you..im confused :unsure:..

Anyway ,good work fellas :thumbsup:

Haha cheers ive got an engineering workshop artz still got a bit of work to do yet like putting the blow off valve plumback line in and modify the turbo outlet pipe my cat needs the flanges cutting off to align them better cos of my new dump pipe i think, gotta put my turbo blanket on get my cam gears installed waiting on a tomei fuel pump thats goin in and finally get her tuned properly as the wet weather blew any chance of bringing her onto boost...

When i finally finish it properly i will post some up...

Think im gunna get Jez to tune it up on 98 and see how it feels then on 11th next month i will have Yuvas re tune it on E85 and see what the difference is :D

Just got back from taking it for a buzz then Jez feels nice when it comes on boost but i been shifting at bout 4500-5000 and 51% throttle is most ive used so full throttle and more revs should be awesome hoping a good tune will help bring it on to boost a lil earlier though :thumbsup: gunna re run the pipework tomorrow when it comes back from the exhaust shop got lazy yesterday with that miserable weather didnt even clean the workshop lol. Got a boost control issue too my peak hold was 16.3psi when my controller was set to 13psi so dunno whats going on there :whistling:

How did u go with the new piping Micko?

have u takin it for a rap in the dry yet?

Ok so it was my first drive in the dry today so it was good to feel what she pulled like with some boost. In second gear and around the 4300rpm zone it started to spin my 255s (unsure of boost pressure) which was surprising actually considering my car has a 2 way kaaz LSD , it hasnt been tuned and it was just under half throttle 49%

It initially felt like a bit laggiier than i was expecting but jez pulled some timing out of her to make her safe albeit we couldnt drive her safely in the wet up top.

Just wondering roughly how much the tune will help boost response?:rolleyes:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
