Well, you can never be too safe can you...?

What the user from my above quoted text was saying makes sense though.

There is not much point in looking at peak vales. Put both basic knock and advanced knock in a chart and you will see they pretty much read very similar. There are some little discrepancies here and there, but gives you a better idea of the whole picture.

Below is an example. The red is basic knock and the yellow is advanced knock. I will make another one for you with a broader log.

Take the knock readings with a pinch of salt. Throw it on the dyno watch the exhaust and listen for ping. :)

Hi Cubes,

I know what pinging sounds like, but ive always wondered what to look for with the exhaust when knock occurs. I think it gives a puff of black smoke - if this is right, what would cause this? The air-fuel mix not completely burning under knock conditions?

Cheers,

Matt

Have they got your money gawdzilla?

Yes, they do... i sent money via paypal. Since they are a registered paypal vendor w/ good feedback, I figure it is safe. Plus, Glen and them aren't scammers or anything according to everyone I've spoken to. They are just slow to act, and customer service could use some work.

Whats funny is I got a confirmation email from Glen today saying it is shipping today. However, this is after I filed a complaint/refund request via Paypal (so that I could try and buy from some other vendor). Maybe that made him act faster *shrug*... but the item is on its way so I am satisfied for now. We'll see how it pans out. Sorry guys about the thread jack...

I'll tell my friend to do that too, we split the cost and ordred one and he hasn't got a reply from them yet. I think he wants to get his money back and wait for the English Apexi PFC software.... tho I don't think it will work with my RB20 pfc.

what the?

I paid the dude the money and he said he shipped them. How is this my fault? He said he contacted you directly and organised it with you.

I will send him and email, but I wouldn't be making threats, as thats not going to help you at all.

Sounds a fair deal. It's worth noting that there were no problems experienced by the rest of us in the buy, other than the (normal) lack of patience when some guys were getting theirs a couple of days ahead of others. No problem otherwise.

Hopefully the inquiry with shipping agent will get it sorted quickly.

cheers

one simple email, and I got this as a response -

"OK will do.

The package was insured, so will get onto our shipping agent and find out,

or claim it and re-send."

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      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...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      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.
