i wish i still had a car for ryan to work on :)

was a good excuse to drink iced coffee and talk lots of shit/bag other members on here :huh:

i have a feeling you will be doing another 100 thou k service for me soon ryan ;)

;)

meh, its bound to happen sooner or later!!!

what really shits me.

new gasket, labour =50

captain thread to take out snapped stud=90

coolant to top up=15

realising the turbo gasket wasnt even the problem, and paying simon 200 bucks to find it = mega fail!!!

a $15 elbow intercooler pipe ended up costing me $370!!!!!

ffs ;)

$450 (inc Labour) to change Timing belt (genuine), Water pump, Coolant, Oil, Oil Filter, Plugs, General check over, whatever else you want doing..

Woo hoo! Whatever else! Nice. Okay, Ryan, included in the $450 I want a OS Giken 3.0L built, I'll have a HKS T51 SPL fitted... and I want you to give the car a wash and polish... with your tongue. :rolleyes:

There's a couple of reasons.. Firstly, working on cars so much made me loose the thrill of working on my own car, which is why i got my car in the first place...the hobby was killed. I love cars and it killed it for me. And secondly, too many people didn't realise i was in it to help people out. Getting bagged for not being as reliable as a workshop even tho i was there to save ppl money and time in the first place. I'm not a workshop, i do have a 45 hour job during the week and a social life.

Don't get me wrong, most of the people were more than greatful for some of the work i had done but there's a percentage of ppl that just ripped the satisfaction right out from under me when too much was expected from just one dude trying to help save a dollar or hundreds.

Craig, be more than happy to help you in the future..even for a couple of brews and a shit talk. :P

That's fair enough too Ryan, I often thought to myself that you took a lot of shit on and it would become more of a hassle ( not knocking you just an observation :P )

Sad part is there's a lot of people out there just looking to use others to get what they want, sadly it seems you met some of them :)

    • 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
