hahahahah

yeah it was the loose cannon behind the wheel! heheh

Richard - thanks for the kind words mate - exactly right, Im glad it never happened to me when I had the R33! that would have been costly!

lol dont worry, your SR20 is safe!

Charles @ Ando - maybe 5 years time I'll have an SR in there! or....maybe 5 years time I'll have a mx5 SP turbo racer!

So yeah, car is back at mine, going to be sitting under the bed sheets in the garage for a couple months till after my wedding and honeymoon.

The guys at Unigroup had a look at it all and feel it shouldnt be too hard to fix, minor damage. So plan is Tony at All cylinder heads will do head work with some port and pollishing. Im going to buy some cams, and get it put back together and tuned. pistons dont look damaged, worst case a valve or two may be bent. well, fingers crossed its minor!!!

Now you are talking - forget the SR20 go for something big.

I can just see a LS1 under the bonnet of your red baby and I am sure that Stuart will head you in the right direction with the install.

V12 is a winner for sure. just don't think about the iridium spark plug bill on that bad boy! lol. only 3 times your current donk and probably as much as a BP engine rebuild.

LOL

I'll get them to take some for me!

And unfort I was going to do a bit of a bigger build...however with just purchasing a house I can really afford to just get the head fixed.

Was going cams, ecu, maybe pistons etc but sadly, getting just the head fixed will have to do for now.

at least I'll be back on the track hopedully soon, been to bloody long!! (december!!)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
