I just thought I would rub it in - we leave for a week at Falls Creek in just under 2 hours. ;)

Don't worry, I will have enough fun for everyone on the forums who is stuck in Adelaide :worship:

Any other snow-bunnies out there?

Nice one. Have fun. Falls creek is probably my favorite resort in australia with thredbo just behind it.

I'm thinking of doing a weekend up there in the next month as i've got a mate working there this season.

We used to go ever year for a week and a few day trips for the first 16 years of my life. But i haven't been for a few years now.

Have fun!

Where are you staying, and how you getting there?

I'm heading up in a couple weeks, was either going to park in Mt Beauty and coach it up, or drive up the mountain - thinkin i'd rather drive for the experience!

my goal was to ski.

bad knees = hard time doing so.

5yrs ago knee was real bad, worst pain Id experienced, so I booked in for a big knee operation (MACI, look it up), and 2 weeks beforehand went to Falls creek for 5 nights

one of the best experiences Ive ever had.

totally ruined the kneejoint but hey that was the goal.

went with my mate and my wife, who was around 2 weeks pregnant (we wernt aware)

stayed in a little 2 story house with balcony, took a couple of jays and plenty of JD; had an absolute ball.

would like to do it again one year. might try in 2or3 yrs time or something, take the 2 kids.

have fun dude, relax, dont hurt yourself, and have fun eyecandy'ing the skibunnies :cheers:

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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 😂

      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.
