hey all

i have a little issue (not complaining too much) but i done that little solenoid trick by earthing the black wire so get boost quicker. I done it and it went all the way to 7lb boost but when i really give it to it and when it gets to 7lb its like the car just shits itself and i have to let go of accellerator. Now from what i know im instantly assuming its because theres f*#k all air cos of the stock intercooler now im going to buy a hybrid intercooler on wednesday and install it and assuming that will allow the turbo to keep going with that much boost. But the thing that is really making me scratch my head is that i dont have that wire earthed to the solenoid anymore but still getting much higher boost. Thats the ecu true? I was thinking if i wanted to get rid of that i wud need to reset the ecu?

Any information would be appreciated boys cheers

Oh and im in need of a new/used clutch pref 70% remaining on clutch if used. Standard clutch mainly wanted but if anyone has a decent priced aftermarket ill take that too

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
