radiator cap decided to come off...fingers crossed i shut it down in time ;)

Aww no... :) Should be alright though if you shut it down nice and quick, it wouldn't have had time to boil

Compression test ftw

wat, u didnt put it back on properly?

unfortunately i think thats what did it. i checked the level b4 i ehaded to dave's the other nite, and possibly didnt put it back on properly ;)

indeed. got the old fella on the way with my tools

wherebouts are you? i'm about to head from logan back to murarrie

im currently at work in milton, dont worry isaac i've got dad coming with my tools, water, coolant, compression tester etc

shane....

u got the tools to do engine compression testing, etc?

certianly do...

by tools i meant my socket set, a few screw drivers and the compression gauge. remember rb25's arent as easy as rb26's, u gotta take the cross over pipe off on the 25's

oh well good luck, i last did mine a couple of months ago and got readings of around 140-150psi with a slightly warm motor.

Yeah the crossover pipe is ghey. I have removal of that bit of piping down to a fine art though lol

    • 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
