I purchased Tomei crate engine back in Nov last year and most of the parts within the last six months

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to piece the story together, what made you take it off the road 2.5 years ago?

will be good to see what it really does after engine has been run in.

I have a mate with the same turbos and ECU and he made 470hp at the wheels on a stock motor, you should make at the very least that amount

I wanted to change the turbos as the nismo turbines were stuffed! I proceeded to do it myself (done it before). Then one thing led to another and decided to restore and build it. I already an N1 block, CP pistons, oil pump and engine mounts ready for rebuild. But Tomei crate engine was very hard to turn down for what it had to offer.

Ps If you had have sent the car and engine to Jase and I in November we could have had the car back to you that weekend :P

don't get me started. Gav sent me via tex MSG last nite an apology and then called me this morning to apologize again for the delay.

Ahh i see! Fair enough!

And so he bloody should apologise! No one pays upfront, and when you do you expect speedy service

can't wait mate. It should get close to the 400kw mark...............well that's benchmark I have set but I want the car to more reliable than anything else. So I'd be happy with 380rwkw.

400kw will be possible on 98, but that will be sort of the limit, it would piss it in on E85 though!

nailed it! Doesn't take rocket scientist to work that one out. He said to me he was sorry and that he needed a good kick in the backside (his own words). I've had more care from him within the last 24hrs than since I had given him the car!

    • 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
