Hello again, I finally got the car all together and working to find it drives like crap. There's weird sounds out of the timing gear, to which I found a video online exactly the same sound..Idler pulley. So I'll replace all the pulleys. But here's where I have no clue what to do. The previous owner upon purchase had said he screwed up the timing and it slipped off or something to that tone, so I know the timing is likely rooted as well as the car driving like trash points to this. I cannot get the marks to line up with the markings on the cam gears / backing plate but I can get them to line up with where they have drawn lines which are miles from where the OEM lines are. This is the first time I've done anything timing related but I've read heaps but I'm not sure how to fix this issue. Here's some images below of what I mean.

What steps would I take to correct this. Thanks in advance.

What the fk. Are you saying you want to know how to get it running right, while timing marks are all over the place and unable to line up where they need to.

Download workshop manual or follow one of guides on here; pull off timing belt and set it up as instructed.

No obviously not haha. I just wanna make sure I got it all correct. I've checked the manual but it doesn't go over it when timing is all f**ked up like this though? Sorry if its a dumb question, I know its been asked but this case seems different to a normal change belt case?

    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
