Partners 2011 Golf GTi is exactly 6km out and VW say they are all the same :blink: I know my R34 is about 1km out but i assume its the tyre size being 1% off stock maybe...

That's hilarious, coz I reckon my 2012 Golf (pleb spec, not GTI powerzzz) is 6km/h out too!

manfacturers actually put a difference in from factory.

i believe it to be to compensate for different brand tyres and the like.

Yep, checked it VS various GPS etc and gone through heaps of speed cameras exactly 6 over and no problem, they reckon there is nothing that can be done about it!

My car is pretty close though which is handy, although with a speedo that only goes to 180 it is pretty useless :P

My GTR is 8km out, where-as my daily driven EG civic is over 10km out, so when it shows 60 i'm doing 50!

Your Civic is defectable then...

That means at 120KM/H on the speedo, you're doing 100KM/H... This means you're 16% out... Which is outside the boundaries...

None of those road rules should be a surprise to anyone...

Edit: Manufactures actually make them read over so they get no law suits from noobs that got a speeding fine from a brand new car. It's just to cover their ass.

Yeah I know, I just compensate my speed for it..what do you expect for a 800 dollar leave at the train station car :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
