Did anyone else but tats and myself see the little fiat bambino. Complete with half cage and a turbo strapped to the side of the little 2 cylinder engine?

Was the coolest car of the show for me

I took a couple of photos. I might post them up but I had a smear on the lens which wasn't apparent until I looked on the computer.

when I got home from Wheels on Sunday I heard water frying on the engine :(

Checked it out and it seemed to be comming from the back of the block where I couldn't see or get to.

I got REAL concerned...... you'd understand if you knew my history with this GTR.

Did some further checking on SAU to see what it could be. Opinions - a hose (sigh of relief)

It turns out one of my Turbo water lines that goes around the back had a pin prick of a hole but opend up under pressure.

and you cant get to it without taking the inlet manifold off and other stuff around that area.

1 x 4" hose $8

2 x hose clamps $7

Labour $330 - Ouch!

Peace of mind - PRICELESS!

yeah, both Andrew Mark stopped like champions!

Turned out that the positive battery cable past too close the extractors, melted the insulation and earthed it out.1 new battery and a relocate for the cable and I was running again. Interestingly, the first battery was still

hot to touch 1½ later…pinch.gif

I did.... I think I might have missed Zeb's Supra out, but took it from that end looking down when all the cars were still there. I'll upload it when I get home from work.

alright thanks heaps, i just completely had a brain fart and forgot.

    • 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.
