ok cheers, i'll check on lunch break. I haven't had any whiny noise, i think it's moreso the engine just revving really loudly at the 3-4k range.

Had a look at acceleration dash videos on youtube, and they all make it 5-7k RPM whilst on boost easy. So now i'm definately convinced something is wrong :\

weird because it always seemed normal to me, and i've been driving it around for over a year now.

I think I've got an acceleration video, I'll take a look.

My 34 hasn't had much work done to it so it's near-stock. Should resemble something close to what you should be hearing.

How does it sound when you free-rev it? Same deal?

This is a stock NEO with LOTS of bolt ons, but the engines have NO issues revving lolz (Ignore the sound as if yours sounds like this then you have issues haha)

yep same deal.

i never used to free-rev past 3000 RPM because the revs sounded high, but i have been recently to the 3-4k mark to test my new boost gauge and it still sounds like engine is stressing a little bit, but the BOV goes off now when free-revving to the higher range. lol

Here's the legendary yellow turd.

Slays Mat's 34 by a mile!

I wish.

Lolz, killed me with your traction ;)

So are you saying yours sounds normal? If so, Hooray lol

oh wow your tacho rockets up. Mine definately doesn't do that or even reach anywhere that high :(

I cant hear the videos because I'm at work atm.

What camera did you guys use to record? I've tried my phone (Galaxy SII) but it doesnt work too well for audio :\

Yeah mine is pretty heavily modified so ignore that part, just showing that these engines DO rev hard and are quite strong!

Mine was just a crap phone camera OFF a videa camera lol

Ok i just took a drive to mount druitt westfield from work.

I'll let the video do the talking (i haven't actually HEARD the video because i was in a rush and didn't replay it with sound on my phone lol, so not sure how audio quality is for this particular one).

That being said, It was a slow climb from 3000 to 4000 RPM, and if i held it any longer, it felt and heard like the revs were getting too high :s

Correct me if i'm wrong and if this is normal lol.

Sounds exactly the same as mine but I didn't have my tacho in view to sight it.

Once you roll the boost up a bit more the revs climb far quicker and it feels far less laboured to get into the higher revs.

How much boost are you running?

Being a really-close-to-stock car (apart from MBC andexhaust), do the revs seem like they're in the correct range though? I initially posted this thread because I wasn't sure if my revs are reading low as compared to other videos I've seen of cars when boosting. Also the tacho does a slow rise up to the 4k RPM range.

I also am not 100% sure on what exhaust I have (previous owner didn't put it on and doesn't know what the owner before him put on either), but i'll save that for another day/thread, or might just take it to a shop and ask lol.

it sounds a struggle getting it higher but, which is why im a bit iffy. I'm running 9psi with my MBC.

It sounds exactly the same as what mine did when I was at that stage.

They'll go all the way to redline, Where you're shifting is where I would shift in normal day to day driving. If I'm giving it a nackering I'll take it out to 6.5k, No problems there.

I dialed a bit more boost into mine and when I'm at WOT the revs climb stupid quick (not as quick as Mat's).

Oh ok sweet thanks for the info and the help. I know people get frustrated when i ask silly questions haha. Takes a lot of stress and worry out of my mind.

I'll try my best to make it to the newy cruise and you can show me then, because I'm leaving this crazy island for 2 weeks to get fat in murica' :D

Have a burger or 10 for me in the states.

Would be cool to get more of us Sydney folk up to the Newy cruises, so if you can make it as well that'd be awsome. Let me know how you go.

The cruises have been pretty successful so far, seems to be a more regular thing up here now with the guys all chipping in to organise! Its great to see you guys making the effort to come up.... As soon as i get my cooling system sorted i should be able to join a few Sydney events too!

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
