i had a ramble in another forum about why I enjoyed Fast and the Furious 1, so ill just paste it there cause its a slow night in the Vic wastelenad.

First movie you could say was the most "scene" worthy of the lot. Was all about Chrome, neons, decals, spray jobs, hydralics and NOS. It has the most interesting plot, the most basic action, and introduced a world (relatively) similar to real past times. Its easy to see why its the most popular and enjoyable.

Tokyo Drift was the next closest thing to introducing a different scene. Different crowds/gangs, different characters and different styles of cars. However, a try-hard plot, weak script and CGI instead of stunts ruined it. Every other movie in the series has been about more plot, more action, more ridiculous scenarios and not about a scene or relating to real life whatsoever. The previous movie was a relief to see the return of real car stunts and an enjoyable plot (yet more ridiculous) and by the US reviews of the lastest movie we should hopefully see more car real car stunts and more ridiculous plots. Forget car scenes with these movies (IMO)

    • 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.
