I checked my docs and you may be right, there is no reference to the fog lights in the CIN but the Xenons are in there. So not sure if these definitely needed to be done, but were anyway and I got the attached doc from compliance too.

just went out to the car having read this document for the first time (don't know why i didnt read it earlier??)

took me 30sec to:

- open the door

- take my key and pop out the little plastic cover offthe back of hte stalk

- the little white plug had not been cut, but simply unplugged.. so i plugged it back in

- re-installed the little plastic cover

now i have foglights!!

i'm going to get myself a set of nice halogen H4 bulbs (the high-intensity kind that are a whiteish colour but not HID) and swap them over someday soon, and while i'm at it i will replace the parking lights with white LED wedge globes

now it comes to bits ( fairly easy to remove if you take your time.)

HID ballast - look closely thats how the halogen lights are done (the plug was chopped!)

HID plug was intact and tucked out of the way..

bit hard to see but there is a blue light there (light is on and warming.)

then it all goes back together :)

well maybe the fog light switch also turns on he park lights

so normally both should come on, but with the fog light out only 1 coms on so it looks like its switching backwards..

mate, take the palstic cover off, it takes literally 30sec and see what you have in there..

Hmm, weird thing with mine is when I turn the centre switch on the stalk my park lights come on, so I assume that they re-wired it to there?

So basically there should be an extra spot for the fog light to go?

Yeah mine too

Yeah mine too

Park lights and high beam come on when I turn the switch. Doesn't appear to be foglights, it's the same one that lights up when I use my high beam. Maybe the integrated foglights are for the sedan only? Can't see where the foglights can be installed in the housing.

No worries, cool. Good going with the Xenons too. Much better than anything aftermarket.

Nah mine is still intact! ??? I'm definately putting aside a day to pull the bumper off, had a look with the tourch and I think I could just see that the HID balast are still on the back of the headlights! Hopefully just a matter of re-wiring them.

If it's any help, not sure if the coupe is radically different, but I know on the sedan you don't need to pull out the whole bumper and the headlights. You can do the job with jacks/hoist by pulling off the front wheels and the plastic guards in the wheel well and underneath. May be easier for some this way as you don't have any alignment issues putting everything back.

Hey check what globes you have, should be the H4 type where the high beam is, or maybe the wiring has been modified at the back of them.

Ok took one side of the inside of the wheel arch off, and I can see a silver unit low down which looks to me like a balast (think it may be part of the fog light kit I have). It has two sockets on it, one that goes to the fog light. There is a cable near by with the compatible plug on it just wrap up in the corner, fits perfectly into the other socket, this is the same on both sides of the car.

Also there is a small grey looking balast on the back of the headlight assembly which has a plug that has been cut, the same as the post from Chris earlier.

Chris, with those red wires that were cut in your pictures, did you cut that yourself from the standard wiring (globes)? I'm just not sure where to join the green & black wires that have been cut to?

Cheers!

    • 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
