good to hear Brendan those two numbers aren't spread around enough some times

i quite often hear them on LifeFM

riding will do the heart good ;)

iv'e been clean of all drugs about 9 years and also wouldn't look back

Do the "anti-squeal" plates on the back of brake pads perform any real task or can I rip them out? All they do is squeal, I've applied some anti-squeal gummy paste to them but that only lasted a couple of months.

Yes, you NEED the anti-squeal plates. And you need to slather them with anti-squeal goo - not just a little bit. Buy the good stuff too - the really sticky orange stuff is usually the best.

CRC Disc Brake Quiet is what I have - bright redish, used a whole bottle per axle and coated every surface between the rear of the pad and pistons. Guess I'll just re-apply and hope it keeps working this time.

try chamfering the edges of the pad slightly, new pads with old rotors, or old pads with new rotors have a tendency to squeal. make sure all of your slides are lubed too, just in case they are sticking, causing the pads to stay in contact.

    • 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
