we were actually shopping then we came back and saw them with about 5 imports pulled over....so the missus drove it out, played dumb about the exhaust i popped the hood they were looking for boost cont and a bov...found nothing and they were actually good about it, helped when this green wrx decided to be a dick revving it after they pulled him over and i just shook my head cop got a smile on his face lol saw that we werent some hoons lol

Don't you love how they think an EBC + BOV = hoon. Wankers.

When are they going to start taking some of the leathal rust buckets off of the road instead. I know a guy at work that drives around in the biggest POS of a datto 1600 I've ever seen & he's an engineer. Not that he can't afford a better car, just doesn't want to spend money on one.

Dan.

Having not been through a defect station with mine.. How hard do they look for shit?

Not too hard mate,

Looked for a fmic, checked the bov was plumbed in a dnchecked the boost controller. Though if you had anything suss like a bright blue part or coloured vac lines im sure that would change

... i popped the hood they were looking for boost cont and a bov...found nothing ...

Didn't think boost controllers were defectable?

I contacted my insurance company to tell them i'd installed a boost gauge and manual boost controller and they were fine (i.e. i email them my intent and said in the email they better contact me if it's a problem and they never did so i assume it's alright.)

When you say plumbed in do they use torches to check its plumbed in to the inlet pipe? Mine looks as if its all plumbed in but isn't down at the afm to turbo pipe which can't be seen anyway. The bov is blocked using the old coke can trick. lol.

My only real concern is with the catch can setup I have.

I have T'd into the cam cover to plenum hose and run a pipe directly down in to a catch can under the inlet manifold. The PCV is blocked but looks like its connected. The passenger side cam cover's breather uses the std piping route to the inlet pipe but again isn't connected instead routing to another catch can. Its all using the std nissan hose clamps, brass t piece is smoothed and painted black so doesn't really stand out.

Time will tell I guess. :rofl:

webng,

The insurance companies are all good with modifications but they 'assume' the mods you have are adr approved. That being its on your back to have them engineered. If not well when push comes to shove..... Your shoved out the door. :)

Bugger.

I guess it comes down to how well they know the cars. :S

Next time its on the dyno I might pull them out and see exactly how much black mist its pushing out and then decide if I will 100% plumb them back in or not.

Last time I couldn't see anything but might be worth taking a better look. There's no oil but that doesn't mean there's no mist oil shit that doesn't get caught by the catch can setup.

As for next dyno.. It appears the gtr cam regrinds pick up around 20-25rwkw's so I'll definitely take that route.

I can't see mine making 290-295rwkw on 15-16psi of boost though. Would be nice but. :rofl:

Most of the people I know have been defected when driving to the shops and back. :S

Just a random pull over. :rofl:

I was pulled over driving to Marion shopping centre. Just as I turned left off diagonal road on to Marion road (which is right on the corner of Marion shopping centre) a defect station was setup on both sides of the road. Both traffic lanes were stopped, I was 3 cars back in the right lane ready to turn in to Marion, the police officer walked past the 3 cars and told me to pull over. :S

Luckily it was only tint on the front windows he was worried about so that came off quick smart and kept him happy. :S

    • 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
