Hi Ants :action-smiley-069: You coming on the cruise on Sunday?

Sadly, I cannot. This weekend is busy with my fathers birthday on Sat and friends daughters 1st bday party on Sunday that we have been invited to.

Will try and see if can come up for a monthly meet and dinner though - it's not that easy FTM with a young family

lol - probably a good thing then eh?

Got my car back!

2hp short of the 400 club. At least i can be a big boy in the 300hp club!

There was a bit of dicking around involved (fuel lines falling off, AFM's not balancing, forgot to change the fuel filter, that sort of stuff) but EFI sorted it and the car is driving a lot better than it was all round. Valve springs are starting to be an issue at this point and i'm not looking to do any more engine work, so that's where she's going to stay for a couple of years. Pretty pleased at it (I mean, 450hp would have been great, but it is what it is: 20 year old engine), next stop, more suspension and brakes.

Very nice mate.

398hp is 296rwkw - its a good number for a standard RB26 and probably one of the more useable ones too lol

As long as it is all realiable, I think you must test all them horses out ;)

Good stuff Pete! How many boosts???

Sadly, mine is still having issues :( Won't be running at the test and tune on sat that's for sure, but have a zed guru coming round on sat to hopefully get to the bottom of it

I thought you were a Zed guru? :P

My motto is Fix it or F**k it. haha Sick of f**king it, didn't buy this car to be troubleshooting for weeks!

Mates motto is just fix it lol

Plus he can tune, and runs a restore and modification business ;)

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
