Nice, there defiantly has to be a certain caution when driving on the snow. i have not for the 15+ years i have been driving to the snow been on ice, slid on ice etc. driven on snow plenty of times and never had issues on it..

what kind of road clearing do they have in Vic? do they do all the salting etc?

you have to remember that resorts like Hotham are at the top of the resort (1950m) and you drive there. Like driving to the top of Mt Perisher.

that day they had the snow plow going non-stop, there was a line of 40+ cars and 4wds waiting for the plow to do a run and then they would follow it down. There would be lucky to be 1 day a year like that.

Yeah Hotham is at the top of the mountain, you actually drive almost to the top of the highest run. 95% of runs and downhill from the road.

I've never seen them ice a road in Vic, but they may do it?

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      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.

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.
