hey guys,

for this year i will be swapping my standard suspension and handling gear for aftermarket replacements.

Just finished installing the first mod (castor rods) and now im thinking hmmm... should i have greased thoes? just wondering if i should pull them back out, grease them up and what to do about future upgrades. ive heard u can just spray on CRC an that does the job but i want it all done properly.

So what do you guys out there do?

at work i operate alot of machines and its a must to regrease all the joints each morning. because it works its way out apon friction. but these machines are designed with special greasing nipple points. so im thinking if i was to grease these rods and future mods, it would only be a temporary lube before id have to pull them back out again and grease them over. so maybe just regular CRC spray will do... :) ?

The bushes should have come with a small packet of molly grease. Use that, if you don't constantly degrease and/or wash under you car with high pressure then it will last at least a year before you need to regrease it. Don't chuck the half used packet, you will get 2 or 3 re-greases out of it.

Cheers

hey sk, i bought the d-project adj castor rods from drift shop. unfortunately they didnt come with any grease. but now i know to go and find myself some molly grease :/

but like i said in my second post, it makes sence that the grease works its way out of the joint apon friction... hopefully i have some teflon lining in them. ill have to have a closer inspection now because i dont remember seeing any.

cheers a mil gary :rofl:

    • 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         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
