apparently also used to create patterns/designs on glasses (mate is an optometrist, told me about this) - cheaper than actually MAKING glasses in that design/pattern.

would love to use something like this to refurbish my interior! not widely available in AUS as far as i know

Yeah, apparently they are located in Spain or at least their instructional facility is. Here I am thinking automotive when you're speaking of frames for glasses! That's what I'm so fascinated about. The possibilities!

A mate of mine is actually in the process of decking out a small warehouse on the Northern Beaches with some 3m x 2m fluid tanks and stuff to get this kicked off.

He didn't bother buying the $20k stuff from Spain, just designed it himself, and took it to a welder/boilermaker and got them to knock up a stainless tub with heat exchangers, etc.

Can't wait to see what he does with it. He's just ordered the machine you can load graphics into and will print it onto the sheets that the patterns come from. Pretty expensive start up costs though!

Just to give you an idea, he is about to sign a deal to get some ceiling fans, LED lightframes and some other small homeware stuff custom made for an architect.

But yeah, Sports equipment, car parts, instruments, shoes, pc cases, sunnies, etc etc.

please give us more details when he's got it up and running, and approx costs if possible? this would be VERY useful for people wanting to redo their centre consoles, dashes, all interior trimmings!

No probs mate, will do.

I know his stainless tanks are being made up at the moment, along with a small spray booth for applying clear coats on after, but the printer will be at least a month or so off. Pretty sure he has like 100L of the activator en route at the moment. I know he has started getting the standard patterns already (CF, Alloy, Woodgrain, etc)

      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.

      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.
