yep kind of looks that way...guy buy stuff off ebay, realises it needs some major tuning and gives up on it...

please dont say its running a stock ecu....

It's an awesome microtech bro!

must have a seriously big spring in it if it wasnt opening before...

There was no vacuum/pressure lines to it before, so it wasn't opening at all, nor was it controlling the boost as he has said.

Now he connected it up by running vacuum/pressure lines to it, and it is opening, but dumping straight to atmosphere.

No pressure source, it won't really open.

My 14PSI gate won't open without a pressure source on it.

And I'm betting it's a stock ECU... Since everythign else sounds stock...

Oh god... A microtec...

Pull your ebay turbo off, pull the looking like aftermarket manifold off.

Shove it and the microtec on ebay.

Buy a standard exhaust manifold, and purchase a stao high flow with Adaptronic ECU.

Reliable turbo, fixed up exhaust system + decent ECU all done quickly and easily.

Don't waste money tuning it twice.

probably the most solid advice i've heard. Waiting for money to come in before i can make such a drastic build though, baby steps. Any suggestions on turbo models for rb25det?

As per the original post & subsequent post relating to '2007' rego sticker on the windscreen, as mentioned, I hope your for your sake & the rest of us enthusiasts here that you actually have registration & insurance on that thing...........

are you srs.. :| Ofcourse it's rego'd w/ insurence. -.-

plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust and it will be quiet again, are you running a stock turbo cause it sounds like it..

LOL

Seriously you put a screamer pipe on your car and are wondering why it is too loud? Maybe the above suggestion is a good one.

edit: You drove it without the wastegate hooked up? You are lucky you still have an engine, surprised it didn't blow up from overboosting, you need to get it tuned asap because it could be pinging it's tits off.

edit2: holy shit you don't even have a screamer pipe you were just venting it open in the atmosphere??? Suprised you didn't cause an engine fire, you've probably destroyed all your rubber hoses now. Stop driving the car!

microtech lt-12

Worlds worst ECU, get a stock ECU with nistune or something half decent.

Seriously save up a few grand, get the wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust, then get a proper ECU tuned, if you haven't already you WILL destroy the engine and your engine bay driving it like this.

Counting down the minutes until you burn the car to the ground or put a rod through the block, can't be more than a week away now.

are you srs.. :| Ofcourse it's rego'd w/ insurence. -.-

How did it pass RWC in that condition??

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
