HI guys, a few days after i picked up my first Stagea i had an alarm fitted. Now everytime i close any doors (front, rear or tailgate) the electric closer on the tailgate runs.

I would be assuming this is not normal and is caused by feedback through the interia lights switches on the doors.

Can anyone verify this.

Thanks.

The closing mechanisms in the tailgate do two things. One is linked to the central locking system and is fitted to all models with central locking. The sound it makes is like the normal central locking sound. The other is the electric closer. This is an extra on S1 but I believe it is std on S2. The noise this makes is more of a motor sound, like the wipers or washer pump. AFAIK there is a micro switch on the actual lock. When you close the gate the closer will run from the signal from this switch, which is independant of the C/L. In other words the closer works regardless of the C/L.

It is the electric closer making the noise, not central locking. The electric closer makes the noise every time ANY door is closed. At the alarm fitters now, i believe he is fitting a diode.

Thanks

      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.

      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.
