Hi there,

The O-Rings are in the mail, so next thing would be installing the new injectors.

I have not done this before, so is this reactively straight forward?

Also, can the plenum stay in? Any tips appreciated ..

Thanks ...

Plenum can stay in, just be extremely careful when pulling the rail out and don't force anything or you'll break shit. The most important bit is don't round the phillips screws that hold the injectors in or your in for a shit time, soak them in wd40/rp7/whatever you have and use a screwdriver that fits properly. Once you have the rail out and the injector caps off its pretty easy, lever the old injectors out with 2 small flathead screwdrivers in the slots on the sides, put the new o-rings on the new injectors, lube them up and drop them in. Don't do the caps up too tight either, they only need to hold the injector in and not come loose.

With the Phillips head screws, I found its a lot easier to use a pair of vice grips to crack them off, then use a screwdriver. Very easy.

    • 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
