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??

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
