:) lots of costs and its sending me too backward, finding it really hard to save any money.

Its a great car, but i want to move onto some other things, and be debt free for a while.

Also i guess its not just not "right" for where i am now.. its a lot different to when i was in melb. Then I worked 20mins away, had a lockup garage, earned a fair bit more money, etc, etc.

Its going in for Gavin treatment on the 8th which should give it back its mojo and make me not scared to drive it, but i'm not going to rush to sell it. Hopefully that takes a couple of months so i can continue to enjoy it.

ok, i popped back before i do go out to the shops :)

hehe.. well 150rwkw should be fairly achieveable with most VL turbo bits and RB25DET turbo. Quite a few others have done it with good results, and most of it I should be able to DIY (its just bolting on stuff after all). So yeah, it could be fun (and importantly it will be cheap)

    • 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.
