ok guys i may have a pit lane garage for sale after not having a enough time to build my engine cause i was going on holidays i paid one of the local engine buildier to do it for me. So we got the engine put it in the car wired it up made all new pipes put it on the dyno and every thing was looking great.The car made 600hp on just 20psi not bad i though.So lets go do some kms before we give it a full tune up but very sad to say the engine didnt even last 200km before spining a bearing. So the holidays got cancelled and we stripped the engine down and could not belevie what we found standard size rings on 20 thou over size piston 1.5 thou piston to bore clearance the crank was now bent 25thou. so i went back to the builder to tell him and all he has to says is get an engineneer to show me where i went wrong and then i will pay for it but by the time i do that i could have the engine back together and maybe get to power cruise. So if some body wants it pm me and i will let you know on thursday if i will make it

the car is alive again :)

Top Stuff!

Ill be gating it with another white R33 then :down:

Anyone going to scrutineering tomorrow?

Im going to get out of the way so im not in line on friday missing out on track time.

Friggn awesome weekend for me!!

Car never missed a beat, apart from a few cooler pipe blow outs.

There is nothing better than smoking the treads in 3rd gear, powerskidding and drifting all over the circuit!!!

Big thanks to Jarrod at A&B Motorsport for lending me some tools and letting me stash my fuel and tyres on Friday, much appreciated!

Sitting in garage 24 and eating my first real food that isn't sausage/bacon in days. Relaxing with guilttoy, benm and the boys, waiting for the racing to start. Massive thank you to dave and his tool wench for their assistance in removing the gear box, helping to rebuild it and putting it back in. Totally unexpected and appreciated.

    • 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.
