Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

just so we are clear, you are aware of the following because of the height difference.

Intercooler pipes wont fit, need to be modified.

exhaust wont fit, needs to be modified.

stock turbo is too small chokes HARD at ~5500 (you end up with about 80kw@ wheels by 6500)

intake pipe will need to be modified unless stock/flexible ish

front strut brace is unlikely to fit

car it came out of was probably automatic, dont forget to change the spigot bush in the crank or you will f**k your input shaft bearings in the gearbox

retaining vct isnt hard, just needs some bundy tube and some patience to run the line from the oil pressure sensor feed.

probably some other things i have forgotten since doing it.

im sure there is a RB30 build thread somewhere that he can follow tits.

Also in case your not aware already

Zac is a mech ;)

One way so solve a lot of thoes, 26 head ;)

There is threads and PDFs and a mountain load of info on them I think I should be pretty right to tackle it. No doubt I will encounter issues but this is a learning experiance and training for me, and not sure on if it will be going in mine or getting sold, ATM if I sell it Kathryn's had already chosen what the money from it is going towards

that only fixes 2 of the issues, strut brace and VCT.

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
