I have a series 1. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with changing the engine to a Neo with loom and ecu etc so it can be tuned without all of the piggy backs. Thanks. Justin

Not so simple as the Neo auto control is quite different. Much easier to convert to manual then you can use any ecu you like ( as I have done).

Or get a Greddy E-Manage - that's just one piggy back.

Well I have the manual box etc all ready to go. Doing that in the next couple of months. My main worry is the fuel economy. Im getting 17/100 have changed o2 with no difference. So after the manual is in which ecu did you change to?

Its all in my sig at the bottom of the page - Link G4

I changed my s1 to a neo and nistune, step 1 change to manual saves about 1/2 off the loom transfer, but still it's a bitch of a job loom has to be spliced to operate between s1 and s2 , as aircon, abs, altessa all have inputs and out puts running through Ecu , so it's quite a big wiring job even with out the auto and if you had to pay an elecy who knows what he is doing would charge over 1k ,

If your only reason for doing this is fuel economy don't bother, not going to make that much diffrence , . If not piggy back an emu or the likes to a s1, the only reason I changed to neo was it was the start for some moderate decent power, with a stronger engine and it was a step to where I heading now/next with my build I also wanted to run and tune with nistune much more economically viable for me ;) . You can just put a neo engine in swap the cas wires around and it will work but you will still have to piggy back onto original Ecu.this way you can still leave manual. I used and tuned my old e manage ultimate on my old auto s1 set up made 240kw on pump98 with an auto fuel pig though .

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
