Dialing the cams in

Turbo side bolted on, making up oil/ coolant lines

Will take pics tomorrow as it sits today, still waiting on the intake manifold and injectors to arrive before I put it in. Quiet annoyed that I was not advised it would take 4 weeks for them to make the manifold... could have just bought a greddy off the shelf and had it in by now!

I disabled the VCT because I wanted to run big cams, to block it off I simply tapped and grub screwed the feed into the head.

Still awaiting my intake manifold who would have thought it would take 8 weeks from Victoria to Perth...

I think you will be in trouble doing it like that. If it was a neo it would be fine, but pre neo use that feed to lube the front cam bearing. look into the intrrnal vct mod as that will supply oil to the bearing.

Look into how the front cam bearing gets its oil. It's through the vct supply that you have blocked off. How will it be lubed now? You can still do the intrrnal feed with the engine in.

It would be lubed the same way the rest are they don't all have an individual oil feed from the block, I've read up on it before doing it and I've noticed plenty of people have blocked it off by welding or grub screwing it.

Fair enough, if you look at the thread that guy thinks differently, also spoke to my machinist when welding my feed (neo head) and he mentioned non neo use that feed for the front cam bearing, as he had seen a head destroyed as a result. But if you have done your research is your engine to decide what you do.

And keep in mind that the typically when people block the oil feed by welding or grub screwing, they either do the internal feed or run an external line (as most would be keeping VCT)

I understand what your saying and it makes sense, I've spoken with my local tuner and machinists and they have seen the same thing done before so I'm confident it will be fine, if not I will regret not doing it but I'll cross that path when it gets here

No worries man, I havent experienced it first hand so cant confirm what I have heard/read. It's good you have spoken to guys who say it will be ok, so all the best. Cant wait to see it running!

      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 !

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.
