Last night the Hobbies in the Hills, hobby shop above UAS was completly destroyed by fire. The fire did not get down stairs so except for being very wet, UAS survived. My car was getting its clutch replaced and I was lucky enough along with all the cars to get out without a problem. I dont think it is known if UAS will be ok but John has a lot of cleaning up to do!

Theis stock should be Ok but stuff like computers, phones and paper work will be gone.

The bigger issue will be the chance they will have to re-locate because of the dammage to the upper floors might make the building a write off!

Thats a really shitty situation - glad nobody was hurt all the the cars were safe.

Im watching the footage of the fire on TV right now :P Thats one serious blaze

actually apparently one of the fire fighters was injured :P

you would have to expect a hobby shop would go off like an H bomb. all that flamable glue, pressurised spray paint, model rocket engines, heaps of RC car fuel = KABANG with a side dose of KABOOM!

Does anyone know how the blaze started? I really feel for John as he is going to get reamed through no fault of his own.

According to the reports on Sky news, the cause is yet to be determined, but rest assured, that building is completely forked and will no doubt need to be demolished.

    • 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
