So are you using a lower throttle plate max opening with brake pressed?

When the car is running again I’ll make decisions on what I want everything to do, at the moment I’ve just hooked it up because the haltech recommend I do it when I set the inputs/output to use dbw

Here's my current assignment, note I've made an effort to not have any temperature sensors on the SPI inputs (learnt the hard way, a few e-mails back and forth with Haltech support).

And this is all I have left to use, pretty much 1x output left for maybe fan control.

@r32-25t you'll find quite a few shops will not hook up the brake input, not saying it's right or wrong - just what I've seen.

I'll most likely get an I/O expander at some stage so I can run:

  • Brake Input
  • L & R front wheel speed sensors
  • Tyre Pressure Monitoring 
  • (maybe) a turbo turbine sensor but I don't really need it as EMAP is giving me what I need to know
  • (maybe) power steering input, however seems like DBW idle control closed loop strategy is decent enough to stop the car stalling on full lock

Haltech, good job. Sent me the keypad with the plug wired wrong LOL. Was wondering why my wideband kept dropping out. Anyhow, worked out someone was having a bad day at Haltech.

Looks really good, do you mind putting up some photos of how it was mounted?

Ahhh..... 😅

It's just sitting there, if one were to accelerate the car the keypad would fall out LOL.

I'm going to buy another astray, snap off the front lid then mount the keypad to the body of the ash tray.

I'd love to see photos once that's done :)

Surprised no has done a 3d print to fit there yet 

I will contact that boost international guy, seems to have a plate for a GFB boost controller and 52mm gauges.

assuming r32 and r33 ashtrays are the same, if you provide dimensions of the can pad i could draw up and print something for you.

Hey Damo! thanks for offering your services but I may have just hit up that Boost International guy yesterday and paid for a modified design.

Should be done soon, hopefully it works out how I planned. If not, I'll touch base with you :)

Should have asked if it fits Stagea as well

  • 3 weeks later...

Because I have some form of brain damage (can't use the words retarded now because that's not 2022 appropriate lol)... I have once again decided to waste more money on this heap of shit.

Nearly fits, just needs a tickle with a rotary tool.

I hope someone likes my clapped out shit box enough to buy it one day so I can buy myself a boring, plain, run of the mill M3.

Seems like the first step towards a Knight Rider KITT cockpit. Though to be honest part of me is going "I don't need, I don't know what I would do with it, but I kind of want it". Especially because the ashtray is wasted space.

Can you turn off the illumination?

Yes you can, the Kebabtech allows you to change the intensity of the backlight.

Also once you affix the labels on, it dims it quite a bit

Looks good, but I can't help but get the feeling that maybe you might consider selling this car if the money was right and then buying a euro, just a hunch? 

OR could it be that you've told us this 40000000000000 damn times 😅

Just list it for sale for the money you would want to sell it, if it sells go buy euro and while it's not selling keep modding this and enjoying it.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
