I bought a chip off armbrusb on this forum......

Unsoldered the origional.. got a cradle.. soldered it in... slotted new chip in..... once the computer got used to it BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......

pulls higher up the rev range....

boosts sooner

better on the petrol

sounds nicer

etc etc

My estimate pushing about 20+kw with it!!

a couple of hrs work (and alot of sware words)

and a $50 chip

it could feel better but who knows how the car is running.

i would put it on a dyno to be 100% worth the $60 or so dollars

what area are u from i'm from parramatta just waiting on armbush to reply

hmm I got the chip in and went for a test run after ecu reset

problem seems to be over about 5psi and/or 3000rpm it splutters like a b*tch and wont get going couldnt really get past 3Krpm dam

pls tell me the ecu takes a while to get used to it or something mr ed32 what are your thoughts??

well shes a bit messy on boost to say the least dunno what the deal is, went for two drives and seems the same.....backfiring and spluttering basically crappy over 2500/3000rpm

maybe the ecu reset didnt work, i unplugged the battery while doing the ecu and pushed brake pedal in for a minute or so

need some ideas mr ed32!?! or armbrusb?!? u had stock turbo right mr ed32 yah?

maybe wait till mine works hey flukey.....

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 馃槢   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When鈥檚 the tow ball on the 33 coming? 馃檭
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
