How you going with it all? Ive just pulled my turbo off, so once i get new oil,water lines i'll be throwing a new turbo in. Wouldnt mind putting the duct in at the same time. Netherless it wont be too hard to do it afterwards.

hi guys.

I haven't recieved the prototype yet, but I'm still working on it.

Should have the prototype very very soon. Like this week.

Hi guys.

I'm sorry but the prototype won't be ready until after the Long Weekend.

My fabricator hasn't had a holiday in 4 years and is going away for a week.

Sorry for the further delay, but that's life in a big city.

Looking to play with an R33 and R32 soon as well, but so far nobody has put their hand up to help out......

Any takers?

When the time comes (in a couple of weeks) I need to borrow an R33 and R32 to do a little jig work on.

Basically I need to remove the standard Duct, leave the AFM and Airbox in position and weld in some rings into a jog.

I have done this on my car and there is no possible chance of damage (except to a few knuckles) whilst doing this.

I took mine off last night, took me about 10 minutes, helps when the turbo is off though. It doesnt look that difficult to make up. But i would use flexible rubber. The problem is putting the PVC pipes in.

Making the actual duct doesn't look hard, but the smallest radius bend you can get it 1.5 x material diameter.

Therefore, 3" x 1.5 = 4.5" radius.

Getting the curve right is going to be the issue.

Also, the adaptation of the standard BOV and PCV pipes is going to be interesting.

This kit may end up costing up to $200 at this stage (haven't get definent pricing on the duct yet though) as there is connectors, hose clamps and all bits and pieces yet to go.

BASS,

i know this doesnt help for everyone but i am quite happy and would prefer you to leave the BOV and PCV pipes off mine. Also i think your price of $200 is very realistic and would prefer to pay that and recieve quality than pay $150 and not. I think $200 is still a bargain.

Also to all you Melboune boys, pull your fat fingers out and give Bass junky a hand(when he needs it obviously), he has said that he needs a 32 and 33 to make some jigs up on. I know someone will come through but Bass is really doing us al a favor here, so help him out soon guys!!

I already have the Rubber pipes in my office, I just need to borrow a car for a few hours with the owner in attendence of course.

When the time is right I will put a date on it.

I'm also going to offer the ducts without the PCV and BOV return pipes and fittings.

Excellent Bass, i did think that was the case. I also understood it was teh cars you need and not the rubber pipe.

I hope this is clear to everyone so that when the time comes, bassy is not having a hard time. Everyone here wants theirs asap, so help him help you.

keep up the good work Bass Junky

Hey guys.

Sorry I haven't been able to communicate with you all over the last few weeks.

Group buys have been down.

Well, I've still been working on them, the fabrication place I use has been super busy, and so have I. A couple of promised dates have been and gone, and the current one is that I should have the first sample this arvo.

We will wait and see. If it doesn't happen, I will be taking them somewhere else that I know. I'd really like to get them all sorted before Christmas which is waht I am aiming for.

Thank you for your patience.

Cheers

Pete

Well, I just spoke to them and I have changed my mind.

They really want to do them for me, they are just under the pump big time.

I have the patience to wait, so I hope you all do too. These guys are great fabricators and the work they do is spot on, so I'd rather them do it than anybody else.

If anyone want's to pull out, let me know and it's all good.

But I hope you will stick around, cos these ducts are going to be great.

      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.
