hey man, if your pulling your box out and apart why not get some upgraded parts rather than the stockers again? probly get some added performance and they'll last longer.. i'm thinking about upgrading to an OS Giken gearset cos i've just put an Exedy twin plate in the car... need the gearbox to keep up with it lol :pirate:

yeah dude, its just a slapper, i used to work in porsche supercup, a factory mod was the change from sintered brass to steel synchro rings, they are a bit heavier on the wear of the gear cone however give a far crisper and quicker gear change due to the higher co efficient of friction of the steel pn stell set up. consider synchros are $30 ea, times 5 = $150, os gear set $2k plus ?

im not that keen on spending that sort of money on a gearbox, as i said its just a slapper. I dont need a twin plate, its only 230rwkw, if i dump it it would smash the box, i've generally found that a good single plate is well upto taking this power output.

thanks for the comments though, all info helps, especially passing it on to other,

cheers

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
