Hi Mate

I would like to share my findings, after i pulled my motor apart last month.

First off i should tell you the specs of the motor.

1. it has a built the block, has arp main studs, N1 oil and water pump, Eagle rods with wisco pistons, Bore 1mm over (87mm bore) ,6boost top mount manifold (t3) ,44 tial waste gate, AMS GT950R turbo, power fc, Custom intake with top mount fuel rail, 100mm tb, FMIC, external fuel pump, External fuel regulator, 800cc Sard injectors, Stock rebuilt head, MLS head gasket, ARP head studs.

After opening up the motor the first thing i noticed was damaged pistons, it looks to be like detanation, But this could be because i used a 86mm MLS head gasket on a bored block. Stock bore size is 86mm and i bored it to 87mm,but used a 86mm bore gasket ,opp's second misstake. Next was the crank collar was the short one, but it was still in good shape, next i had no oil restrictors in the block. Next i never installed a head oil return, and other that running 25psi on pump gas. Thats all i found that was wrong with the car. Well for most part the pistons were really bad and it caused the head to get damaged, cause peace piston ring broke off and hit the head.Plus the head looked like it had small hole in the parts that were in the combustion chamber. so again i think that was detanation.

The biggest thing i feel that cause or even aided the damage was the gasket. A 1mm peace of gasket like a round ring (looks like a piston ring 1mm round) fell in the combustion chamber. I feel this would have aided the detanation process. These small amounts of gasket can cause hot spots causeing preignition or detination. ???????

Well on my new motor (build 2 of them) Has all these things rectified.

If you would like to see the new setup check the link out mate.

its not much, but i do my own work. This is one of the 2 motors that i'm building.

cheers

      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

      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
