What company? That looks like lazy courier.

Couriers Please, turns out Sparesbox put the wrong address on the box.

I don't even know how that's even possible? The turbo got sent to thr correct address yet thr turbine goes somewhere else?

What the actual frak. Clearly Sparesbox is worse than Mwave

Got my manifold back from Hi Octane Racing, they powder coated it for $280. Not a bad price, but felt a bit ripped off when I dropped it off and they were like umm can't give you a price now but it will be about $200 to $300.. like a $100 spread? Anyhow $280 later I have a ceramic coated manifold lol.

Started to trim the studs on the head as advised by Sinco, turns out I only needed to trim only 1 not 2, mini win?

Looking the part now, because Shitbox/Spareshit/karntbox aka Sparesmoron sent my friggen turbine housing elsewhere I decided to test fit this turbo.

Don’t hi-octane do this shit on a daily basis so they should know exactly how much a 6 cylinder manifold will cost

Yeah I know right? Oh wells, it is what it is but the coating is bloody good though so pretty happy about that.

Now to wait for the rear turbine housing to arrive (whenever that happens), then I'll mock up the lines with some left over bits and bobs  and put together shopping list and go to MSCN for a rape lol.

After that, off to the fabricators then hopefully some skids.

And update, Sparesbox only just realised the housing is just sitting at Couriers Please's depot instead of being returned to Sparesbox ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Is this a 3 Stooges episode?

ETA to activities in Mexico?

2 more weeks at work till my redundancy, then it's R33 time till it's done.

Aiming for the shitbox running in 3 to 4 weeks, will test skid then dyno.

Popped on some studs and trying to determine how to clock the turbo to make sure the oil feed and oil drain clears the manifold.

Looks like I might have to go hard lines, oh wells lol.

Called in "sick" then went to MSCN to get fittings, hard lines for the turbo setup.

Left wondering why I didn't go to work instead lol.20190320_131440.thumb.jpg.04468a53e276eab286919bba1ba799e4.jpg

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • 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.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
