It's been on the dyno. GIVE IT SOME! :D

RESULTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where you gonna peg the boost needle Ant eater?

lol........soon Paulie very soon.

Have no idea what Sean is setting things at so I guess everything will be revealed when I get to pick up the ant-eater

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok, thats fair enough Scottie.

Many apologies to all regarding the slow progress of late regarding this project.

I have been trying very, very, very, hard to get things wrapped up but alas these delays are unfortunately out of my control (which has been frustrating the hell out of me :verymad: )

So, after I called the tuner last week (who was frantically focusing on getting ready for Jamboree), my Haltech ECU decided to more or less crap itself after an hour on the dyno - something to do with the coms port not reading. The tuner told me he has sent the ECU to Haltech for repair.

Needless to say that after that conversation I felt pretty much guttered.

From seeing the Ant-Eater being tuned on the dyno to this was rather depressing. Although its a new computer (as in never been used) its out of its warranty period.

Anyways, to cut a long story short, I have been in contact with Haltech today (who are a great to deal with BTW) to find out what the prognosis is.

The ECU has passed preliminary testing which is positive to hear. However, there is a display error - im not sure what this means yet.

I have been told that the ECU will be returned tomorrow to the workshop, so hopefully it will be all good.

That is all I have for the moment guys.

I do hope to have some communication from my tuner this week and x fingers it will be ready soon.

Once more information is made available to me I will off course update you's all.

Oh man! Your so close! Not long to go now :)

Glad to hear Haltech were happy enough to assist you though, i was strongly considering one before i picked up my nistune. However local Adelaide support was the decider for me.

Get us some dyno footage :D! Must hear... rb..

Sounds frustrating to say the least, mate. Bear with it, you've come a long way with the beast and have had bigger hurdles than this! You're close, and I look forward to seeing the final power run video with power graph :)

Ok,ok..............so the Ant-Eater Finally got tuned :)

I will just post up some pics so they can do the talking.

Enjoy ;)

All results using BP Ultimate 98

Thread needs more pics of the car back in your hot little hands Ants.

Not sure where about you live but have you thought about trying it on E85? or maybe getting the Haltech Flex Sensor and run both. Sorry if this has been covered before

ah the ever dangerous "........for now"

can I just say power figure aside that torque curve is AWESOME!!!......

smooth drive and given the motor reliable as....

Im guessing that 350 on a "Run in " tune ?????

I'm thinking in 6 months this shit will get re-dic

So future plans are to get it tuned on E85 and install an ethanol sensor just 4 piece of mind and hopefully crack that 400rwkw.

Since I have a United service station literally not even 300 meters away, the availability of E85 is not an issue.

After speaking to Sean, he mentioned there is plenty of power to be had. So things look promising.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
