Hey ppls,

Well, I got myself a Radiator from Just Jap and it arrived a few hours ago.

It's now fitted and the car has been pressure tested and guess what...

No leaking!

No steam out the exhaust, no badness at all.

Thank goodness gracious!

Anywho. Just thought you all might want to know.

BASS OUT

(I'm off to pick up some radiator guides)

Make sure you change the oil ASAP poiter if you havent already.

It will be stuffed

Would also be interested to know? Could understand if the oil/water had mixed but he said no leakage.

Great news Pete and quickly fixed. :(

Why must hte oil be changed? Is this because of the new intercooler? Or was there something else that happend to bassjunky's car?

He basically cooked the oil, temps were massive and then didnt get a chance to cool them down once the radiator let go as you cant drive the car :(

So the oil just sat there boiling away in the nice steamy confines of his motor :(

The oil "might" be ok, but that sorta stuff isnt worth the hassle for the sake of 5 ltrs of oil and half an hour of your life.

Easier to change it and not worry about running degraded oil in a motor for X,XXX km's

Interesting, not heard this before. Valid point though. :(

    • 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
