Yeah its been TOO long since AIR has last been functional for street drags.

Basically the car had to be in good working order and you had to have an approved helmet. All you needed was fuel and some fun!

AIR was crap because it was sooooooo slippery because it was never prepped unless it was for competitions.

Well no not at the moment........... and it's not the governments fault, it's that dickhead Bob Jane that NEVER upgraded the track, and then took Bill to court over it, which then took months! So after the court case which i believe has now ended with Bill winning, he is going to rebuild the whole place! so be patient and we will have a prime motorsports park close to town in the coming future!

If what darren is right.

Then Bill will be rebuilding the whole A.I.R raceway.

WHich is much needed as its very old now. I have not been there ever but have heard about it being very run down.

I hope it gets fixed up ASAP as yes we do need somewhere to go to have fun in the controlled environment.

You gotta remember though it would cost millions of dollars for someone to do a redevelopment like that.

And they gotta make money. So they need more than SAU going out every friday night to do that.

I'm sure it would do ok though as SA has a huge car scene. But they would need to attract actual drag events. With interstate and better yet international competitors.

They havent had trouble in the past. The only thing they need to worry about is pricks breaking into peoples cars in the car park. A big turn off for anyone in the past...

The biggest problem I can see with that idea is creating an area for sufficient runoff at the end should anything go wrong - the strip would have to be moved down substantially, and it would cease to be a part of the racing circuit.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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 😂

      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.

      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.
