hmmm... interesting...

could it have been that I just posted Holdens_r_better because I was chatting to him at the time? Hmmm... oh well

Hey and that chatting to me about prices is for real too... and open to anyone because I can tell you exactly what it takes to build a 13 sec car for a $2000 mods budget..... it would be even easier if you started with a turbo...

In the conversation about turboing a non-turbo... well it is my opinion that it works very well in alot of cases... If you run too much boost in any car you will destroy it... however in most cases with non turbos a bit of smart tuning and sensible boost levels will result in excellent performance for the price...

As a mechanic (sportif) I thought you would realise that a turbo car relys on enthripy... if it is efficient with good tuning a turbo motor will last for years... Come and have a ride and look at mine... I promise you it works... to the tune of a 13 second pass... no problems... it has been together for 8mths now and other than breaking a waterpump it has been perfect...

as josh says go and talk to russell mason and ask him what exactly he has done to the internals of his Petrol Nissan Patrol... it is a non turbo motor making 300 rwhp... and it has now been doing that for 3 years... no dramas...

I really enjoy the challange of doing something that "guru's" say that you can't do... and this is one thing that us Spankers have mastered... turboing non-turbos is a speciality that we like...

again come talk to us... we've actually done it... not just said that "it doesn't work"...

but what would I know... I'm not a mechanic...

Hey all........ i bet you will all see my post and think... "oh sh*t... he found us..LOL...... coz really. thats what i am..... i just tag along............ i cant belive i read 9 pages of all of that.. its mostly about stoopid muppets.. and gonza is the best.. coz me and him share a big nose gene. LOL..... so yer........ i better start thinkion about gettiing a job to start saving for a car..learners this time next year..... but im sure if i still know all of you... i should be able to get something cheaper???????!!!!!!!!!LOL

Bye all

It was me, I believe, and it was in reference to someone who had no idea about how to service their own car and who they should get to do it. Not in regards to doing certain things that void factory warranty.

Now... let's stop the "He said, she said", please.

    • 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
