Anyone had any experience with the Powerlock immobiliser???

Following extracted from the CarSafe website (just in case you are looking for an immobiliser):

STANDARD FEATURES

All Australian Standards approved immobiliser systems include:

Automatic immobilisation within 40 seconds of ignition switch-off

Two independent points of immobilisation

Connections enclosed in security housing

All black security wiring

Flashing dashboard LED when system is armed

Secure owner PIN override.

Engine immobilisers fitted under the Immobilise Now! Program do not include an alarm as a standard, but some models may be integrated with an alarm and other optional features.

Most insures will require an Australian Standards approved immobiliser for Comprehensive cover.

Not sure if it is an immobiliser or not but I did some testing of the factory remote. If it is "armed" (closed with remote button) and you open the door with the key itself, as soon as you put the key in the ignition, the horn sounds and the lights flash. Must admit didn't try starting it though.

There are some other things that trigger off the horn as well when I was playing around but can't think of them just now.

Perhaps just try locking doors with remote, opening door with the key and try starting the car (whilst ignoring the horn going off is yours does that). If it starts then no immobiliser but if it doesn't then perhaps it has one.

Would be interested to know the results.

No luck. Mine did no such thing and the engine wasn't immobilised. Sounds like you have either a factory fitted alarm or an aftermarket one.

You have me curious now - must go and check whether the car start whilst the horn is sounding, etc. Must be factory or using th factory key remote as that is the only one I have.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
