Mark, I nabbed it for $450, absolute bargain!

Kye, it's the JJR one, here's the link

Meant to reply to your SMS today, sorry, been busy. Unfortunately I can't make it, the missus committed us to her friends 22nd that night, dress up so I don't really want to go :P I've got to organise a time to get the y-pipe of you if you don't mind, very keen on getting that sorted

Luke, thats hot. :P

My old man picked up a 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear today and I got to drive it home, 2.8L turbo diesel 4WD... it came with a Nardi Torino steering wheel! I'd nab the steering wheel if I had a car to put it into lol the R33 requires airbag and the daily honda has the cruise control switches which I dont want to lose.

I was going to do the high boost mod on my car today but unfortunately got stuck at my mothers house all afternoon!!!! :P

skip it and put a bc in mate. i did it over the weekend, set mine to approx 12psi tonight. effing fantastic i tell ya!

turbos almost off again. rotated it from the exhaust wheel by hand while it was still on the engine, made a nice little grinding noise. sigh.

anyone know anyone who has a t28bb lying around?

:)

and what are you trying to say huh? huh? huh? :P

never u mind hehe

heslo: envious of the airbox.......always loved the ARC stuff....except the price

luke_enr34: have you got any cables coming thru any grommets in the firewall...............could be water coming from road spray (in the engine bay) working its way thru. mate of mine had same issue, he thought his windscreen was shagged in his patrol (plus the next 2 they installed). turned out it was his cabling for the spotties that was tracking the water in via the grommet

The things i know :P

Got my dash out today. Now to remove all the air-con components and just have the rear demister and a fan for the front window. Gonna be a shit load of space behind the dash now. Thinking of making a cf panel with 2 switches on it.

I have stock ecu, turbo ect ect ect. Little worried about detonation going for more than 7 psi. Did you bypass the factory solenoid altogether?

Yep, bypass it. You can still wind in decent boost with the stock ECU so long as your EBC is set up correctly... probably better off going that route to be honest. Then when you want/can afford go for a full fledged aftermarket ECU and get a tune, then you'll really see some gains!

turbos off. comp cover had half blown off. pulled the cover off completely, theres a couple marks on it, and theres some scraping on the blades, so ill be looking into some options tomorrow.

certainly did Steve

yeah the stock ecu is definitely a setback with boost - rich & retard really sucks. power wasn't being distributed nicely through the rev range - anywhere from 3500 - 6000 rpm was very flat, but as soon as you passed 6000, this big hit of power would chuck you back in your seat.

however -

when i added my fmic, i took the car for a drive around the block with the front bar and reo off -it was boosting almost 1 bar! and this was with the standard solenoid, and standard ecu - it flew! but as soon as i put the reo and front bar back on, boost dropped back to 9psi

Im runing a remapped ecu now, good bang for buck, and its roadworthy :P

How much is safe? I might have to do some homework on ebc's... :P

The only thing that annoys me really is the fact it hits the boost limit (5 psi I think...?) under 3000 RPM since the AM dump/front/cat and 3-3.5" catback has gone on. Would like just a little extra between 2800(approx)-5000 RPM.

Nice Luke...stretched rubber on the rears? :)

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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.
