Hey all,

This is a pretty big ask, so I'm not expecting a huge response, but I'm desperate now. I've had my car at Allstar for 3 weeks now, was supposed to be for just a simple tune but has turned into quite an effort. Andy from Hyperdrive is working on the car while Sean is off on leave.

Basically the car is giving quite a few problems which Sean and Andy both believe to be a corrupt ECU, eg. revving itself to redline as soon as it starts without opening the throttle body at all, dropping cylinders randomly, etc. etc. Now the boys at Allstar have been checking basic things such as injectors going to correct plugs on the ECU, coils, etc. but nothing has had any effect yet.

So we are now at a stage where there isn't really a lot we can do without testing another ECU. My back-up plan is to purchase a Link G4 ecu, but there's no point spending 2 grand on an ECU if it isn't going to fix the problem. So I really just need a NIStuned RB25DET Neo ECU for a manual that Andy could plug in, test it out, and then give it back to you. If it does turn out to be the ECU then I will buy the Link G4, so I'm not looking to purchase another stock ECU. I just really need one to borrow for maybe a few hours.

Anyone? :(

Thanks,

Martin.

Didn't see this yesterday.

Thanks a lot for the offer mate, I appreciate it. I ended up buying the Link ECU anyway though, decided I would be better off changing ECU now than putting more money into an ECU I want to get rid of anyway.

Thanks again though :)

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
