He's been in the industry for years. Use to have a workshop behind pedders at salisbury. Always had a really good name in the drag racing circles. Top bloke to deal with :D

His number is 08 8391 6125, mobile is 0437 919 762. pretty sure his workshop is in Mt Barker. If not his email is [email protected] Good luck with your build mate :(

sweet as got in contact with darren through email and asked him to give me a call

he did like straight away, gave me full confidence that he will be perfect to build my engine

new everything that he was talking about and gave a great price.

also just bought a 3582r with a 1.06 rear

will start a topic soon to keep u all updated with the 26/30 build..................................

p.s. thanks to all for recomending him cant believe i went past him

you get a forged 25/30 from them for the same price as a standard internal RIPS one... i will be looking into it when my motor gets tired

Same. I got a chance to pick darrens brain at the DA round in tassie in 07'

he put up with me for over a hour ha.

    • 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         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
