Hi just wondering if anyone knows? Why does this stupid neo rb25 which i am begining to hate, boost spike to 12psi on full throttle,then it climbs to 15 psi then starts shaking the whole car (only night time late,and early mornings) i know the air is colder and more dense. And during the arvo it holds 8psi constant under full throttle. Everything is stock! hoses,boost valve everything...... :O

something is leaking or not correct for it to spike that much

the stock actuator wont allow it to hold that much pressure

i would suggest checking all the hoses and tubes

what exhaust?

That would be why.. its flowing more in the dense times...

I would suggest a upgraded actuator and then a decent boost controller to fix the issue.. try one of those cheap ones they are going on about here.. the turbo tech. you would be suprised.

3 inch exhaust, split dump pipe, and a ultra ultra high flow cat :O

well thats why its spking

youve taken away the exhaust restriction so now its easier for the engine to flow exhaust, which in turn drives the turbine faster, which makes more boost and makes it spike. i would suggest a good electronic boost controller. one that can only close based on whatever preset pressure is.

Thanx fellas! I have been tearing my hair out! I would much rather my old series one rb25! use to run 12 pound all day every day not a drama! Neo rb25 very overated! for example 9-10 psi boost cut, turbo is a crappy laggy nylon one!

What are some EBCs you recommend (one with an accurate boost in psi reading would be good)

Blitz SBD-ID3?

Profec B?

AVCR?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
