yep kind of looks that way...guy buy stuff off ebay, realises it needs some major tuning and gives up on it...

please dont say its running a stock ecu....

It's an awesome microtech bro!

must have a seriously big spring in it if it wasnt opening before...

There was no vacuum/pressure lines to it before, so it wasn't opening at all, nor was it controlling the boost as he has said.

Now he connected it up by running vacuum/pressure lines to it, and it is opening, but dumping straight to atmosphere.

No pressure source, it won't really open.

My 14PSI gate won't open without a pressure source on it.

And I'm betting it's a stock ECU... Since everythign else sounds stock...

Oh god... A microtec...

Pull your ebay turbo off, pull the looking like aftermarket manifold off.

Shove it and the microtec on ebay.

Buy a standard exhaust manifold, and purchase a stao high flow with Adaptronic ECU.

Reliable turbo, fixed up exhaust system + decent ECU all done quickly and easily.

Don't waste money tuning it twice.

probably the most solid advice i've heard. Waiting for money to come in before i can make such a drastic build though, baby steps. Any suggestions on turbo models for rb25det?

As per the original post & subsequent post relating to '2007' rego sticker on the windscreen, as mentioned, I hope your for your sake & the rest of us enthusiasts here that you actually have registration & insurance on that thing...........

are you srs.. :| Ofcourse it's rego'd w/ insurence. -.-

plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust and it will be quiet again, are you running a stock turbo cause it sounds like it..

LOL

Seriously you put a screamer pipe on your car and are wondering why it is too loud? Maybe the above suggestion is a good one.

edit: You drove it without the wastegate hooked up? You are lucky you still have an engine, surprised it didn't blow up from overboosting, you need to get it tuned asap because it could be pinging it's tits off.

edit2: holy shit you don't even have a screamer pipe you were just venting it open in the atmosphere??? Suprised you didn't cause an engine fire, you've probably destroyed all your rubber hoses now. Stop driving the car!

microtech lt-12

Worlds worst ECU, get a stock ECU with nistune or something half decent.

Seriously save up a few grand, get the wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust, then get a proper ECU tuned, if you haven't already you WILL destroy the engine and your engine bay driving it like this.

Counting down the minutes until you burn the car to the ground or put a rod through the block, can't be more than a week away now.

are you srs.. :| Ofcourse it's rego'd w/ insurence. -.-

How did it pass RWC in that condition??

    • I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.
    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
