Same reason you see burnouts up hills.

Those with pissweak cars need a 'chock' or hill to do a skid otherwise they don't have the power.

1 strip usually ensues.

These are what we call "sikkunts", often found in low-economic areas such as kwinana/balga.

ROFL @ maccas trays!

When I used to live in scarborough years ago (before they closed off half of that street that goes up the hill at the end of the carparks), someone in a Swift dumped 20L of oil at the bottom of that hill and ALL night idiots were lighting it up up the hill, got to the point where the cops came out and sat on the median strip with the lights going all night.. highly annoying as it was RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR BLOODY APARTMENT!

That was a ritual for decades before the appartments were built.

Scab's burnout night, every weekend. Features include:

* police riot vans

* A demonstration by the council sand dumping ute and it's dare devil team of on-call workers.

* both red and yellow stickers

* people showing their tits (including the rare female)

* People running around a car park with car jack

* slots of blown tyres that look like the ones you left at the tyre place the day before because they were bald.

* cars driven by drivers without a licence doing a burnout

* unlicenced cars doing a burnout with drivers who still have a licenece but, are about to lose it

* unlicenced cars driven by unlicenced drivers doing burnouts

* Unlicenced monkeys driving unlinced uni-cycles doing burnouts

* people giving the signal and saying things like 'arc it up mate'

And many more exciting events.

      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.
