DUDE your car just sucks full stop ;)

Sell the lemon and stop spending money on it already and buy another freaking bike!!!

Clutch is slipping need a new one , installing turbosmart treg pro putting in mines rom ...

more boost

Car is being a bitch has some airflow meter issues, now is all sorted not its runs great but every now and then it will just run fine then stop for no reason? turn the key and its away with no issues?? WEIRD, in process of cleaning injectors any other ideas??

my new 48mm wastegate arrived today so that is on and the gearbox is back in. Just need oil for the box and get to test out 400rwkw on the street :)

You have no idea how much im hating you right now :wave:

Good luck with the shake down :)

Not a lemon, it was fine untill i touched it. LOL.

I can't sell it, cos it owes me money. If i sell it i would b lucky to get 16K for it. LOL.

:happy: 16k...

Tell em he's dreaming!!!

My clutch is fried. Getting Married in 2 months. Looks like my car will be in the garage for a while :(

Another one bites the dust :(

Thats what you get for letting your ms's drive your car James :O

:P unless she drives it harder than him :O

Not a lemon, it was fine untill i touched it. LOL.

can you put it back to dead stock?, i know itd be painful but atleast then youll know if its something youve done or not. how much was the central20 ecu?. if all else fails you can borrow my car soon (i know mine is running sweet :( ) and switch a few things to see if it may fix it. also write a list of every single sensor youve replaced etc (inc mods) so you can test each one individually. Also have you cleaned your aac valve thingy?

Hay Toff.

back to stock, humm, not really, well time wise anyway. I have most of the parts, but the shear time invilved would be impossible to do so.

What i have done:

Fuel pump, and fuel filter. Going to put a new one in tonight and check that the antidrain valve on the tank is working.

New 02 sensor, have old, can try it, but i recon it won't make anyy differance

New ECU temp sensor, old was seamed ok, but the new one is definalty better, replace new with old, made no differance.

I have cleaned the AAC valve a few times now, and checked opperation, and i think that is working ok, i can adjust it with consults and it changes the rpm and so foth

Cold start valve, has not been checked as yet, i will see if i can test it properly tonight.

FMIC, there was no issues after this was fitted.

The central 20 ECU, ran the car fine for ages, it only started to be a dog in the last 2-3 weeks. Stock one sold, so i can't test that.

I have not checked injectors as shuch, i want to try all the things i can do for free, as i am sick of chucking money at the thing.

I am aslo going to check the radiator fluid to see if i don't have a head gasket problem anywhere, last night my water was low, which seamed strange, but the car doesn't blow any steam, or smell sweeet, or bubble through the radiator.

Kinda getting pissed off, i don't really want to spend more money on the thing, wife getting a bit enoyed and so forht.

I did a consult check and the the error code 13 and 21 came up.

13 is ecu temp sensor, started 13 times without this??? Going to investigate.

21 ignition signal, started 9 times with this, i pressume it's from when i did a compression check on the car, hence why no ignition source.

Commpression was an almost dead even 150psi accross all the cylinders, have not performed a leak down as yet.

This morning once again, the car was a odg to start. Howeve, if i just tap the accelerator on startup, the car goes fine, no splatter or anything.

So i am leaning towards a fuel delivery problem or something to do with cold start.

Anyway, toffy do you have a radiator pressurisation thing, to see if i have a blow headgasket. I hope i don't, don't want to spend more money on it. Should have taken the extra warranty. LOL.

    • 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.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
