i was planning on going for Lenso rims from Tempe Tyres in Sydney if anyone has ever heard of them. I was wondering how the rims are over there in terms of weight because i wouldn't want the rims to slow my car down.

Which brand would be best for weight where the price could go below $2000?

Your profile says turbo excel??

So this going on an excel?

If so then i couldnt recommened any jap rims then :(

Any rims sold at tempe tyres are heavy lol..

How about you go there and pick them up and see for yourself.

My buddy club p1s weigh about 6 kgs each without rubber.. Now thats light

I reccommend Ray's engineering wheels... not sure what they're called as I never had one... but when my mate bought his... I compared his (with my hands) to another mate's set - and wow, so much lighter... if you're interested in weight reduction, this is a must.

i'm with spunkymunky, rays/volk rims are usually lightweight. i have a set myself and they're alot lighter than most rims. most of the rims you'll find at tyre places are nice n shiny but weight a shitload. you get what you pay for :(

you will find abobroad minded personely nothing under $2000 thast light....$3000 + rubber for some CE28s, think they are the lightest.

with $2000 you are limited to second hand.

basically they must be alluminium or magnesium and MUST be forged.

not all rays wheels are forged. so choose wisely.

these companies all make forged wheels:

rays engineering

Enkei (make very light wheels, probably the lightest - NT03)

Weds Sports

Buddy club (p1s are NOT forged, only P1QFs are)

BBS

Work (very few forged models)

    • 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
