What have you done to your car today?

As its only a un-modded 2.5 N/A it think I will stick with the 95. 98 is too much for me to spend at the moment and not sure if worth any minimal gains

I just meant reset the ECU, as in disconnect the battery for 12 hours so that all of the learned values are reset. Not a remap. I agree that the gains might not be there for a retune.

Missed the bit about resetting the ECU. I did that when I swapped over to 95 this time. I think not doing it the first time I tried made it so theat didn't seem to be much difference.

Do you really need 12 hours? Used to do mine for about an hour and that was enough to lose the idle memory atleast

Everything I've read says a couple of hours max. Thats what I did.

I think more like unlucky you soba. I think most people have been very happy with their tunes. I know Matt is working on getting your car running like the like the well oiled machine that it is.

At the end of the day it is not his fault that you had a hose off for the initial tune. Yes he was a bit slow to respond after that, but I think he's gotten back to you and I expect you will have a good result in the end just like everyone else. Let me know if you need to use my Tactrix (the full working one)

I'm happy to help if needed.

Don't think the current (and ongoing) issue is related to that disconnected hose anymore. And it is not really clear whether the hose was actually on or off during the initial tune.

It normally ends up being the same $$ per km, buuuuut you get a healthier motor in the bargain

Mr Leone - maybe, possibly, not gonna bother they're too much $$ to bother with it (cheaper to go single than buy another VF32/33). VF27's on the other hand are like $50 so it's a no brainer to do it

Just thinking, as I am doing an engine swap for a buddy with a Rev D and it has both turbos on the replacement engine, wondering if it'd be worth doing it.

I really hope you get it sorted. Nobody likes a car that runs like crap

If you know ,u know

What turbos on that twin setup?

Both sides are ball bearing vf27 with p18 rear housings .

And a lot of port matching on the primary side seeing as all the turbo inlets are atleast 10mm smaller than the uppipe

Nice job. A lot to be gained by sorted out the up pipe to turbo porting. Amazing more after market up pipes don't fit the stock flange well at all.

Cambelt, seals & waterpump done the crank pulley bolt was damn tough to get off though, was slipping the clutch in second trying to undo it lol. Eventually got it without breaking it. One of the cam bolts had shawn off the inner pattern (previously) so luckily I have a box of parts I was able to rely on. Feels good to have that done now. Shout out to brian for letting me use his cam locker tool. Made the job a hellova lot easier

Took to my GC8 with an angle grinder.. Bonnet, rear doors and boot stripped.

Took her out for a drive after a wash inside and out.......!!!

Put slotted rotors and pads on the sti. Looks better with them on

Got her a set of blacked out Prova by Fujitsubo mufflers (wagon version though but who cares in this particular case)

Personally wouldve just bought a set of 4 pots and stock rotors.

You must have New Zealand's best BL legacy muffler collection. I would love to spend an afternoon fitting each set and addressing the sounds :-)

True, but got them for less than half price through a mate so wasnt a bad buy.
