Hey all,

Just a random question. I have to go through AWN warranty to get my car's misfire/gear crunching fixed, and they have recommended me to a place in Osbourne park called Aquilla Automotive's?

Has anyone ever heard of these guys? apparently they are around the corner from Xspeed. I would LIKE to take my car to Xspeed or someone similar! but I'm not too sure the AWN warranty dealers will let me :thumbsup:

If anyone has had any experiences with them or what you think I should do?

That would be GRAND!

firstly, xspeed is in o'connor so i hope u don't get lost. and xspeed is rather expensive and quite slow with everything, but will give a good service once they make a start. Well thats just my experience with them. Could not comment on Aquilla Automotive's cause i haven't heard of them.

Good luck.

DOH!!!!

I meant O'connor.... yes basically they are both in O'connor...

@hoony

Yeah I was going to try and ask, I did last time but I think the guy ignored me... he mentioned Xspeed used to be on their list but now they aren't?

I mean it's worth a try if I go in and tell them what I want replaced. eg splitfires in, redline shockproof in. Or you reckon it's better to let them diagnose... NOT much experience with garages that I'm not too sure about but have to go through..

Max at Aquilla is awsome. He has done quite a bit of work for me and does my regular servicing for both my cars. Very trusted and is a gun mechanic. :)

Orly.... Max is it? I think someone different answered the phone, they are on Zeta crescent in O'Connor. Either way if you say this Max is great, then i'll just go and let them fiddle with it until my car works :) Hope they do separate claims! can only claim up to a certain amount for every part... but in that case I have unlimited claims to hehe

You can also get AWN to pay out the warranty amount. Take it to Aquilla Automotive's and get them to have a look at it and qoute how much they think it will cost to repair then they will tell AWN the total amount or you can tell AWN. You can then say to them that you want that amount in cash instead and take it to your mechanic of choice.

It says in the warranty booklet that the owner can choose to have the amount paid in cash instead of having it repaired or something along those lines. It is worth a shot so have a read the booklet before you do anything.

    • 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
