blown head gasket perhaps or what i done to my old motor same story was driving then all of a sudden sounded like a massivley cammed V8 and white smoke everywhere and overheating after that

i had to look at the way the engine was treated serviced every 5,000K's and looked after untill i had the shits one night and done skidz on the limmiter for a night explains why it let go a couple of days later

when i pulled the engine apart i found 2 shattered pistons and a blown headgasket due to oil passing through the rings and too much compression in the cyl

DO A COMPRESSION TEST!!

lol, throws a rod out the block... which can be checked via quick check under the bonnet.

but posts thread on SAu first asking for advice

Or maybe asked for advice then decided to bring to a workshop who tested it, that could perhaps be it and it snapped from a possible boost spike

    • 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.
