Hopefully in the next couple of weeks,the motor will be on its way to being brought to life.I have been some what indecisive about where to send the engine to get all machined up and assembled.

Some of you might think im being a bit pedantic about the whole thing,but you when you have spent the money i have spent on this thing im sure you would be the same.

After some discussion with a fellow forum member this morning i have finally deceided to give the task to Paul(DiRTgarage) and crew.

Im sure you know of his mental 9sec quarter smasher. I told Paul that i wanted someone who will take the time to make sure everything is spot on,and not to cut corners. Paul has assured me this will happen and will look after me.So ill be making the trip up to Newie sometime soon and will be giving constant updates on the progress.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great :/

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete :/

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

good to see your using paul. he's a good bloke and im sure he'll more than look after you :/

Thanks Shane,

Happy to be on board with Dave to help out with his build. Parts are off to the machine shop next friday and will post pics of progress if Dave gives us the OK to do so.

    • 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.
