Heya all,

Just wondering, with the 32, how much oil to put in gearbox and diff. People seem to be buying oils in 4L

amounts, but I've heard that you only need 2.5L. I was looking to buy Penrite oils for LSD and gearbox, but

these only come in 2.5L amounts. I don't want to have to buy 2 of each, as I'll end up with 5L.

So, if I need 4L, i would rather buy 4L.

Thanks.

i've got a 33, guess they would be the same or pretty close. mine takes just over 3 litres in the gearbox, and almost 2 litres in the diff. cost me $140 to fill both up last time, thats castrol synthetic in both plus a 125ml nulon gearbox/diff treatment in both.

Most decent Gear oils can be used for both. Just check when you buy whatever oil you're planning on, it might be better idea to get specifically labelled "gearbox" and "limited slip" oils to be safe though.

But as long as the oil is GL-5 with friction modifiers for limited slip use, it will be fine for both.....

Using the Redline oils as an example -- which i strongly recommend, you can use Redline Lightweight Shockproof in both gearbox and diff! and is fantastic stuff!!

    • 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 😂
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
