Besides the blacked out lights, I don't see that much looks-wise difference between an 8MR and 8GSR...

Not to mention as over-done as some might say it is, 9 rear bar definitely ftw. Front bar I'm a fan of the 8 nose chop, else probably prefer the 9 front to the 8 yet again.


Although the standard lights are pretty ugly haha, definitely on the to-do list... *looks at Aaron*

Haha, yeah, Gunmetal Grey is baws. Mate's is that colour, tis hawt. I also like the Blue the 9's came in - more metallic than any of the other colours.

I would've probably gone Yellow given any choice, though :P.

Re 'eternal battle': As a daily, I can not refute my CT9A choice. Some CP9A's do look the goods though! And yeah, like I said, I'll probably go down the nose-chop route... just not very high priority :P

272rwkw @ 16psi on United 85

RacePace "high flow" cat gave me another 10rwkw. So yeah, top end a little disappointing...prolly the small turbo maxing out...along with internal wastegate and a myriad of other "stock" looking restrictions...but the low and mid range are significantly better. I have near stock response with about 130rwkw more than stock. Car sounds beast and the exhaust smell is <3

Happy camper. Will upload graph when I get home :)

More boost was giving nothing more, so Chris scaled it back to the highest boost that made a worthwhile difference. Another factor that makes me think the turbo was struggling. Nice and safe for my engine at least.

What was it on 98? ~250? That's not a bad power hike

    • 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.
    • 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         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
