the temp here has only dropped to 20-18 deg so i wouldn't think its much colder than when i use to go out at night in the summer.

How can i tell if its missing.

I have yet to check my plugs and coils and leaks so ill do that very soon.

I have done a bit of limiter bashing so my plugs my be looking a bit sad :stupid:

You say boost cut, I'm assuming you really mean Fuel cut.

So your on boost then all of a sudden the car stops accelerating like you've flicked the key to off. So not popping and not missing.

You take your foot off the accel then put your foot back on and it starts driving as per normal.

Is that what you are referring to?

Thanks guys i have just cleaned and re-gapped my plugs to .8mm

and checked for cracks and burn marks on the coils and all seems to be ok

the prob has now gone with the re-gapped and cleaned plugs so prob is fixed short term.

so looks like ill get some new plugs and look into some spitfires for the long run

Thanks for ya help

    • 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
