race day sunday at wakie - hoping I can crack into the 1.13's!!

I have also aquired a set of slicks....dont know if I'll use them in this race...may wait for a supersprint to get used to them!

Long time between updates...

Raced at wakefield in June - car felt really off power.

I even had a swift Gti pull away from me down the straight.

I only managed a 1.14.3, had brand new semi's too

so took the car to a mates place after it, had 105-110 psi across all four.

after some research and talking to folks, got it to monaco performance just near newcastle - turns out the timing belt had skipped a tooth on the exh cam and put the timing all out. good job it is a non-interference motor. got it all fixed, oil change too, new plugs, back upto 170psi

car feels good once again so have entered a supersprint 2 weeks time just as more a practice run before MRA in october

now I want 1.13's!!

clappa - already done! according to natsift I am 3 seconds quicker - and according to his hand timing he is 15 seconds quicker LOL

ryan - no chance unless I have turbro powahs

Update!!!!

Best now is a 1.12.8 at wakie and 1.06.1 at SMP south.

Latest mods are straight through exhaust (no muffler!) and v70a semi slicks.

Bought a second hand adaptronic ecu, loom and map sensor too.

Just dropped car off at DVS tuning to fit it now.

Did a base run before ecu and got 77.6rwkw. When I got the exhaust mod done at mx5 mania it made 92rwkw. Yep, manias reads mega high!!!!

First race for the year is jan 27 for MRA in mx5 challenge

    • 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
