Yeah



Wow. Your Magna was poxy

Nissan alternator is internal reg

Totally. Battery light on. Changed the regulator, twin brush and spring arrangement. Perfect. 2 weeks later battery light on. Fractured the long brush at the housing you could see a crack just above where it fractured, demanded a new one, perfect till we sold it. Slowest car we've ever owned. Got us through new house and 2 kids born. Traded it for $1500 on a 5ltr Fairmont ghia. I loved the Fairmont. Spun off the line and into 2nd. Great little engine. Long gears. 70 in 1st 135 in 2nd. 180 in 3rd. Soft suspension. 10.5 ltrs per hundred on a trip. 1950 rpm at 115kph. Full leather and wood grain. Felt great when driving it then when you got out it still looked like a horrid au. Only mods were twin system cai and chip tune. Solid drive train. Slight touch of brake and throttle for effortless auto skids. She was a bit slow but a beautiful cruiser:-) Windsor power

I drove a friends magna wagon around for a while (modified skyline reliability yo), 97 (I think) 3.0L v6 manual. Could do a fwd single legger if you revved it up and dumped the clutch but was pretty gutless for the most part, but it took everything that was thrown at it and kept on going with just the usual minor servicing.

I would rather douse my genitals in hot sauce before dragging them through broken glass and razor blades, than drive a magna

 

 

Actually, I might do that anyway

    • 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.
