Well, after importing her over a year ago, and pulled her to bits 9 months ago i finally had the time to do some work!

took weeks off work and worked on it from 7:30 am to 6pm every day!

basicly the engine bay was fully stripped and repsrayed in 2pac gloss black. The subframe was cleaned and sprayed, wheel wells and underbody, along with almost everything else in the bay (wiper motor, abs unit, brake/clutch boosters, all brackets etc).

the intake manold, engine covers and turbo pipes were all powder coated.

engine bay is close to completion, waiting for the oil cooler to be sorted.

all thats left is the rear diff, fuel tank etc to be returned. The whole underside of the car has been degreased and cleaned (hoping the pit guys will appreicate this)

if the cash flow is good, with luck ill be cruising mid feb!!!

hey all, spent the weekend finishing her off. rear diff and fuel tank went back in.

and then got her started!! after sitting there for over a year!!

all was good, up untill one of my retard friends snapped the bolt that bleed the air for the coolant. basicly we tried to drill it out and comletly screw the tube so i had to take out.

Im mega pissed, worked my ass off everyday for 3 weeks solid to get at this stage and one bolt has set me back a couple of days....

hoping to get it welded shut and a new hole tapped.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
