A few of you guys here know that for the last few months I've been busy rebuiling my engine after blowing the turbo.

I'd like to say a special thanks to Steve for all the info he's given me in the past weeks, without his help I'd still have a bundle of unresolved problems.

Oh and here's a photo of what I'm on about, enjoy........

FAT32,

O's Factory is a friendly name for a small collection of highly skilled engineers I know. These are the guys I turn to when I need to have some sort of special processing on a part, or bespoke manufactured items.

If you look closely at the breather holes in the cam covers, you'll notice that they have been tapped out to take a fitting. The fittings are being specially manufactured from billet alloy to suit.

Bass Junky,

I've still got a wish list that's about twice as long as the spec sheet :burnout:

Steve,

Needs to hit the road before the end of this week. I have a trip to the Isle of Man that I don't want to miss.

I've been working on it like a :ghost: since last week.

B-Man,

Two reasons really, one is that it didn't need doing, and the other is that it would take about the same budget again to do it.

I'm saving for it already and should the bottom end let me down I'll just have to fix it. :rant:

Awurth,

That list is witness to a growing obsession, it's been over three years in the making :)

But it fair adds up......

I started out with a NISMO exhaust, then I didi the suspension, then added a PFC, then the DoLuck bits, then I swapped the exhaust for the HKS, followed by the Flywheel and Clutch, and the recent demise of my stock turbo, has got me here.

It's a long road, but I'm certain it'll be worth it. I picked up my wheels from the refurb shop this afternoon, and should have her rolling tomorrow.

Can't wait :flower:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
