Alright, so i've compiled all the bits I need for ~270rwkw, only thing i'm unsure of is coilpacks. Would it be worth getting a set of Splitfires as a precaution before towing the car to Trent's? If so, there's a 2nd hand/nearly set on eBay for $450, is that steep or about right? Currently running stockies with no problems.

pretty sure i got mine for around 450 new delivered from nengun maybe 3 years ago

Can't remember what I paid for mine... think it was a little less than that though...

If you've got some time, I'd be ordering new OEM ones from amayama... be prepared to wait a few weeks though

Anyone got xforce catback here? how do you rate them??

http://www.xforce.com.au/products.php?make=FPV&model=101

can pick up a twin 3" for just over 1k new.

have had an xforce cat back and know a few others that have had them.

fitted fine and worked fine, some were silly loud others average loud, seems to differ depending on the model car.

i had 320kw on the stock coils with 190,000km

no point replacing them if they arent stuffed.

Hmm maybe i'll go with this for now. I've spent like 2k in the last few weeks on car stuff; that's a whole chunk of summer work down the drain. If they break down it's only like $150 for an extra hour of tuning I guess. My car has genuine 104,000 so might be okay..

I'm gonna wing it and hope for the best. The coils aren't cracked or damaged, and as titan said, no point replacing if they aren't stuffed... Only one way to find out - more boost!

hit up artz. think he has some splitfires for sale.,.....

dont forget to gap your plugs down if you havent already....

Trent tuning it? He usually asks for new coils, either Splitfire or OEM, just so you don't waste his time. ;)

You should get that alloy intake today, I shipped it yesterday morning.

Cool, he has PM.

Yea Trent.. Okay I will keep an eye out for some splitfires then. Cheers for the quick postage, looking forward to seeing it; one of the final pieces of the puzzle! :D

Yeah try and fix any issues before you go to Trents

Otherwise you might have to wait a few weeks before you can book again

When you put in the 'new' coil packs might as well change your spark plugs too.

Probably even leave the cover off for easy access if Trent wants to double check anything

    • 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.
    • 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
