Just when I thought everything was well with the world, the car started to misfire...As the days went past, the misfire became more & more noticeable. Only occurring when light-cruising, I was scratching my head at what it could be.

Checking coil-packs, replacing spark-plugs, disconnecting o2 sensor, cleaning AFM & even pulling apart the AFM to check soldering, the car would continue to surge & misfire!! Panic started to flood-in, did I break something fundamental, have I damaged this 2000km old engine before its final tune?!? Knowing my luck, this build has been anything but straight forward...

 Nothing wrong here...

A glimmer of hope, Justin from RevZone contacted me & advised me that a tune-window had opened up just before Christmas. However with this misfiring issue playing havoc, this could mean another half-cooked tune if this problem chewed through the time. Not one to turn back a challenge, Justin said to bring the car past & they will check over it once more before the tune.

Fingers crossed!

Problem found! Misfire issue resolved, crisis diverted!

Matt from Nistune & Justin from RevZone did some live troubleshooting and found the NEO boost-sensor tripping! 
This was causing the car to r&r/misfire at random. Car is ready for its final tune :D Shout-out to Matt for all his help with Nistune.

 

RevZone pulled-out all the cards to ensure a rock-solid final tune.
As the tune was booked-in on a 36degree day, they refreshed the tune in the morning when it was much cooler. In addition, they even wired in their own Wideband sensor and finished-off with a road-tune to ensure it idles, cruises & drives perfectly. They even topped-up with extra e85 petrol as they ran-out :221_see_no_evil:

The final result:
Forged Rb25 NEO w/ GTX3071genII @ 27psi~ made a whopping 370kw atw

Clocking the boost-gauge, its a blur watching it peak to 27psi~ :4_joy:

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
