OK, there is alot of speculation on this board as i noticed. I just had this issue today, in my Mspec, it has powersteering, so it was heavy as f**k. well turned out that not only did anyone on the forum have an answer, or the mechanics i rang, but my mate, told me about diagnostics mode. did u just start the car and it stayed on?, or did u turn the steering wheel 90 left then 90 right? u may find that u have activated Hicas diagnostic mode, to deactivate this. simply disconnect battery for a few mins or so, then reconnect firmly. start ur car. and it should be back off. give it a go.

Ps. I imagine to all u that bought new batterys/ alternators in previous threads. u mustr feel silly :"P .. good. u almost made me make same mistake!.

jlol

have fun.

cheers.

To activate HICAS diagnostic mode you need to turn steering right/left 10 times in the space of 15sec (something like that). Had to do it myself to install the Tomei HICAS lock kit. Trust me, it's very hard to accidentally get into hicas diagnostic, as it took me a few times to purposely activate it, also the HICAS light will flash when in diagnostic mode.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
