James - V36 Owner (WA)

Hi folks,

About time I introduced myself after sapping up so much information from this fine site for so long!  I got myself an 08 CKV36 Type SP, 6spd in February (I think) of this year.  It has been a faithful daily for it's life and I've dumped 18,000kms on it since I've owned it.  

It's fully bolted, tuned and sits around 265kW at the flywheel.  It's on Cusco springs and shocks, has shitty modded headlights that are a pain in the arse, an IPL front lip, and is sitting on 19" Rays VR-G2s (245 at the front, 275 at the back).  It also has a nice carbon fibre rear diffuser!

I am looking to get new headlights sorted by OneightyNYC very soon, as well as a brake upgrade and front sway bar, and when "funds" (girlfriend) permit this is getting supercharged.  Also, as is the case with 99% of the people with V36's, have my navi looked at!

I have a couple of photos attached below, and if anyone has any opinion or thoughts let them flow!  I'm always open to new ideas, especially in the wonderful world of automotive.

 

James.

Sedan is good! Good car, good value =) could do with a tad more torque but you know, can't have everything haha. Done much to yours?

With sway bars, I recommend Hotchkis front and rear, strong and light. Very good stuff.

350GT Sedan. The first gen of the V36s. Kinda wished I had spent the extra $5k for the newer 370GT.

If you want headlights to be done in Australia, I can send you a contact in Sydney. He does it really well. PM me for more info :)

      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.

      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.
