Alright guys! You've been a huge help! My main concern was whether or not they were trying to rip me off and trying to sell me something that I don't need.

My main goal is to have some nice power for the hills (I don't drift the car, not into that) and a good suspension setup.

Plus I want to keep the engine bay mainly stock looking and clean.

I know very few people who have ever had an issue with garage7. They are a great supporter of R chassis and make loads of custom parts for them. Decs is super switched on and knows his shit, I can't imagine him selling something that won't work :)

Exactly my thoughts man and thanks for the input! I obviously want to do my homework so I don't buy into something I don't understand.

Also, from what I've read is that I've got to replace the rubber fuel lines because it breaks down and clogs fuel components. Do it once do it properly.

550 is the largest side feed my wholesaler can get, so anything larger than that is 'highflowed' with a drill bit.

They are still 20+ year old design, even if you buy new. Nothing that old compares to a modern Bosch injector, in fact not much compares these days. If you are planning to run e85 one day you have no real choice but to do a top feed conversion, the sidefeeds won't last long on e85 from my experience.

I just don't want to go top feed because I want to keep it looking stock.
I've got a couple friends running sidefeeds on E85, but have them going at 100%. They're runnning close to 300kw though. That's not my goal.

You can barely even see the top feed rail when you have the std plenum and cross over pipe it does look stock.

I would personally save a little more and buy a billet performance product fuel rail and set of siemens deka injectors if using e85 or bosch injectors if using petrol.

I wouldn't touch that Chinese junk after reading about first hand experience on another forum.

    • 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.
