Nice ride man, shame about the girly little turbo!! the tacho is no great loss but it would have been nice to have been consulted about it's removal!

My advice is to get a dyno tune before driving this car, i have seen too many melted pistons from driving cars like this, our fuel is different, and tuning can be affected by flat batteries and stolen parts.

Hi mate,

yeah nice ride.

When i went to pick up my 33 GTS-t from the docks in Brisbane the bloody warfies had flogged heaps of stuff from my baby also. They took my Double Din Kenwood Stereo (MD / CD), gear knob (apexi), genuine skyline floor mats, driving lights and my racing pedals. And my tyres had those lil nobbly bits on them that they seem to get after a nice burn-out. I was less than impressed thats for sure. Patricks said that only the whole car is insured (if ship sinks) and that additional cover is needed if you want the other goodies covered. All my stuff was on the bill of lading but......hey....these things happen its what you may call a form of organised crime.

Well thats my 2 cents, I hope everything works out for you,

Haro

seeing this thread again made me remember just how farkin TIGHT some people are.

really... who steals 2nd hand parts that you might get a few hundy for. its been said so many times throughout this forum, but why cant people just earn cars/parts like everybody else has to rather than steal them. fark i hate them. theyre the kind of people that you would love to bash them to within a mm of their life just so that they dont do it again. if only you didnt have to face the repercussions.

over and out.

    • 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
