left work this arvo and was driving up the street and the engine started to die, then come back to life, die, then come back etc...had to be something to do with the piping I thought, so stopped and checked all the connections to find that I had forgotten a hose clamp on one of the joins.

Managed to limp it home and attached said clamp and proceeded to take it for a fang. Boost seemed to be building pretty slowly and I thought...I know you get a bit more lag with a front mount but this is a bit much. Anyway...gave it a real bootfull and it started coughing and spluttering and died when I came to a stop. Had a look at the piping again and found the SECOND clamp I had forgotten altogether.

Luckily I had taken a tool kit with some clamps in it and was able to fix it on the side of the road, so is now all good.

Gave it another bootfull on the way home and there is a definite improvement.

Only problem I have now is when I get to about 5000rpm it start to pop and miss, but it was doing that after I fitted the dump pipe the other week, so I think I need to change the plugs or at leas re-gap them and then have the SAFC retuned.

only a very small amount...boost prolly comes on about 3 - 400 revs later or so

ahh... just curious as to whether it was noticeable, as i've never driven mine without an intercooler as it came with one. in fact i've never driven a totally stock skyline now i think about it.. hmm..

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • 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 !
    • 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.
