I never had the fuel under 1/3rd , they told me not to go below 1/4 until I get a surge tank if I am going to push t a little,

I suggest to get this sorted before you take it again, not nice play Russian roulette with a new motor.......

It's not the valve springs is it.. Those cam lobes are very aggressive

Same springs and retainers as what's in mine. There shouldn't be an issue unless there was a mega mess up installing.

Having said that, if it's coughing in neutral, it won't be springs as there is no boost.

t will all be done and I will be very careful until it's done.I never really push it under half full and my pushing is not like you blokes drive :)

Things are looking up, my builder called me and we were talking about the car and he has put in a starter motor for free and going to run a 3.5" Dump and Cat for me "no Charge" so it will be 3.5" all the way. That was a great offer :banana:

Just a matter of finding out where the water is going , a re tune and off we go :)

Good work Pete, when do they think you'll have it back with a new and improved tune?

Hi James, not sure mate, but I would think he will do it ASAP, might get rid of a bit of back pressure and and flow better ?

Depends on the DBs if I will look at a quieter muffler that still flows but I will wait and see how it sounds and go from there as this exhaust was pretty quiet, well quieter before the build :/

NO, I free revved it and sitting on 5500rpm it started farting.

They have to work it out, all they have to do is drive it , they will fix it, no problem :)

I just wonder if they tweaked it yesterday on the dyno, it never went over 7000rpm without sounding like you hit the limiter but it is set at 8500rpm

doesn't have a neutral Rev limiter does it?

Factory ecus do it, should be possible to program it.

No mate, I am running a new Haltech Platinum Pro 34GTR and the limiter is set at 8500rpm.

I think it has a limit of 4 or 5000rpm until the motor is running at a normal driving temp around 70 degrees. I never drove the car hard until it was hot.

Got me stuffed, ran to 8000rpm + on the Dyno when being tuned and when I just took it into Sydney on Monday :/

But it will be fixed soon and I will be a happy camper :camping:

Holy crap!!

They must be reading this thread haha

Let's hope so, so many injustices here.

Good Pete, glad they are making things right for you.... As they should. Make sure you post up vids when you get it back.

Great news, Pete!

Will they be doing the flex tune and winding it up to see what numbers this can punch out?

Not having it done yet, I am still trying to work out what I will do with the car after I get it back and see how it is going

I always said they would fix any of the problems, shit happens and after you have waited for a build to be finished and run into a few probs when you get it back it gets you frustrated, living so far away just adds to the frustration :yes:

It will be interesting to see what difference the 3.5" dump and cat make when it is being tuned ?

You'll break 400kw with it I bet.

You'll see how much difference a good dump does.

Yeah i agree i just had a good dump! Feel so much lighter! :D

Great news on the car Pete i think thats the least they coulda done being the high end customer you were! Your build wasn't exactly a budget build so why they left pieces of the puzzle out like dump pipes etc before the tuning process was beyond me?!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
