Quick question guys, need to do my gearbox oil.

Was thinking of getting some Nulon semi-synth from SCA or something, any recommendation?

Birds hook a brother up! Saw that you were an expert years ago in the gearbox oil thread.

Nulon never sat well in our oil thread. People complained it made their valvetrains noisy.

Get a 10w40 or 5w40 full synthetic. These full synthetics have a drain life of 7,500-10,000km depending on use, so extra cost negated by less frequent change. But they have better additive packages. Brand isn't too important, but I'd probably stay away from Castrol, Nulon and Mobil 1. Motul Gulf Western Penrite Redline Elf Royal Purple are where it's at.

Yep, straight 3 inch pipe ftw. Surprisingly quiet.

Lol. I'm quite surprised he didn't just drive off once the exhaust was removed. I remember he came to your house without an exhaust from the turbo lol

Chuck in a better engine or a turbo, i'd be up there in the high 30's to low 40s with the s2000's :D

Wonder what my 32 would do..

Have to learn a whole different car when its done :/

Ill see you brahs on the track soon,jpg

    • 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.
