I have a similar problem happening at the moment. My turbo was fine when i pulled it off. Ive tried everything to, replacing plugs, turbo, compression test, ECU restiing etc but problem still exhisting. Going to check my AFM tom, let me know how you go and what youve done! Good luck, hope its nothin serious

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm its still coming, especially after seeing your dyno graph post tune!! Congrats!!!!! Now looks like i might have to go a full rebuild and a 3540......bwahahahahahahahahahaha

Interesting info guys!!!! Wish i had seen this prior to buying my 18 x 8 and 18 x 9's, dont know there offsets but they look fooorking fantastic!!!!

The cars been off the road for 5 weeks with no battery in it so ECU should have been reset. Theres shyte loads of black smoke when your up it, its definately running rich. Dont know where the noise is coming from because im deaf in one ear at the moment due to an accident, so thats pyyssing me off to not been able to hear it properly. Its due for a major service so im gunna get unique auto sports to look at it but going to fiddle with the AFM tomorrow morn and see what happens.

Ive checked all the piping and they all seem to be fine, no splits or cracks cracks. Its buggin the hell out of me!!!!!!!!!!! Cars been off road now for 5 weeks and its killing me driving this charade around, since when do you change back to 3rd on the F3???? LOL Looks like i will have to bite the bullet and get it to UAS for diagnoses, fix, and a service. Well, there goes the 3040 andthe likes! BUGGER!!! Thanx anyways guys.

I have a large front mount intercooler with cold air induction and a few other things to help it cool. Living on the central coast now, use to live in Sydney

Whilst driving along F3 awhile ago I noticed whilst going up a slight hill I noticed the engine wouldnt make boost. No major loud noises or bangs, just literally became sluggish. Managed to limp it home, car drove fine until boost started to come on, once the boost gauge was reading 0-1psi the needle started to jutter and lots of black smoke out the back of the car not to mention that it jerked like a dog!!!! Figured I had done the turbo, seems as though its had 15psi through stocko turbo over last 12months. Got car on a hoist last weekend and changed turbo to a high flow (thanx mark MRK25T), found some shaft play in old turbo but otherwise was in good condition. Hence , not turbo related!! Bugger.... Anyhows, did compression test: Cylinder 1= 150psi 2= 155psi 3= 150psi 4= 155psi 5= 160psi 6= 160psi All these figures appear to be ok to me, hence nothing internal damaged. whilst doing the comp test noticed that ALL 6 Iridium plugs were fouled badly by black shyte!!They had been in the car for at least 7,000km, so they were old. Got some standard non iridium replacement plugs to test the car, car ran ok. Boost guage reads 15psi fine and stable but car is running like a maggot!!! I mean the 4cyl charade i been driving around in makes more power!! LOL Now has major sucking or blowing sound under bonnet but at moment im deaf in one ear due to an ear cleaning accident gone horribly wrong so i cant hear this noise properly. Anyone got any ideas???? Its due for a major service, so whilst the car is at Unique Autosports Im thinking of getting them to fix this elusive problem, but would prefer to have an idea of what it is in case i can do it myself??? Thanx guys....

Are internals stock?? Reason for selling?

highly intersted in the rebuilt rb25det motor, could you give me more specs on the rebuild please and would you consider freight to sydney.... how much??? email me [email protected]

pm me if you still have the motor for sale

I have a S1 bonnet, might consider swapping with you. Is the carbon bonnet damaged in anyway?

Guys im interested in all your information regarding the aformentioned ECU's. Im looking at around 260+rwkw and am after an ECU thats up for the job. Ive heard the Microtech has an inbuilt sensor to be able to retard the timing automatically to a preset setting dependant upon how badly the car is pinging(like in middle of summer) However, billions of jap racers cant be wrong either?? Your info and first hand advice would be appreciated. Cheers.

Interesting thread guys!!! I will be eyeing this thread for awhile as im looking at the 3040 aswell. looking to push in excess of 260rwkw with other mods of course.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Boost will be set at 10psi max whilst its on the car!! A MASSIVE THANK YOU to MARK for his kindness and comaradarie for lending me a turbo.

Picked up lease turbo from Mark yesterday so i will be back on the road again soon!! Im over driving the mighty white charade up and down the F3, but fuel economy is amazing!!! Anyhows, time to start picking up bits n pieces to get the car hauling butt for the REAL TRACKDAY or should we say, JUDGEMENT DAY!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha

Want to lose weight quick>> Loop diuretics!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just ask Warne about them! HAHAHAHA

Mark is an absolute legend!! First the turbo and then the microtech spot!!!! Is there anywhere we can nominate him as the SAU LEGEND of THE YEAR????????? You have PM Mark.
