Had an interesting day today. This morning one of my horses decided to skin half of his face. Fortunately I was there as am not often and it most likely would have ended in infection and death if he wasn't treated. My vet has never seen anything so bad and neither have I. Therefore if you can stomach some gruesome pictures...

Image of actual injury is quite full on so I shall put it here.

After we sewed him back together :(

And finally.. what caused it:

Nine years of happy until now on the least likely item in the paddock. wtf.

Thanks guys :(

As you can see with the last photo, the chain links around a gate and reconnects to that metal piece in the lhs of the pic. I'm guessing he tried to put his head through to reach 'greener' grass, pulled back and caught the edge on his jaw somehow. Seems ridiculously hard to do but it's the best I've got. Searched the whole paddock for other signs but the hair makes me pretty sure it was here.

Was indeed way too close to his eye but fortunately missed even ripping to the edge, was always about 7mm away. So lucky in some ways but so damn harsh in others. I love this guy, he's the sweetest dopiest horse I've ever had.

Will spend the next couple of weeks watching him like a hawk and injecting penicillin morning and night.

Better chuck him on the dyno to check he still has his 1hp after that :/:P

But nuh that sucks! Lucky it didn't get his eye. Would hate to see the before patching him up pic :/

She posted a before pic if you do want to see it.

Lucky you were there!

Civil engo and enviro engo. I'll probably choose civil.

Just need a 25 in english now

ive heard its hard to find jobs with civil eng.

I reckon enviro eng will be hot property in a couple of years, but its a specialised engineering so its risky...

    • 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.
