Greetings From Taiwan


Recommended Posts

Yo people i made it to Taiwan without any terrorists crashing the plane into any buildings:D

Ok heres a quick rundown of it so far.

I got upgraded to business class from Australia to Hong Kong so it was sweet as. Waited on hand and foot, full electric seat, tv, sterio the works.

Hong Kong airport is farkin massive, it has its own underground train to take you to terminals. The actual runway area is massive and would be crazy for a drift session.

My hotel in Tapei is actually an appartment with 1 single bed and 1 queen bed. Tv in bedroom and flatscreen in lounge, which has 2 couches and an armchair. Has own kitchen, and huge bathroom.

Now the best part, the traffic. :eek1: If u thought driving through springvale was bad, then damn multiply that by 100 and u might come close to how crazy they drive here. No 1 indicates when they wanna change lanes or pullout from road side parking, and there r millions of little scooters on the road.

I am scared to even drive out the hotel.

Going to get my new laptop and some other goodies from the main part of Taipei.

Cyaz:D

Just got back from the main shops in taipei!

Damn there is a whole street bought the size of chapel with just computer shops as every shop down both sides of he street!! And each is 4 levels!!!

I got a new laptop ASUS P4 2.4 GHZ,DVD/Burner, 15.1 monitor, 256MB RAM, 20 GIG HD, all for $3100.

There is so much electronic comp stuff around here. Going to look for sum car shops in the next few days if i get much time off work.

Inark

the horn is just a novality item here, at some intersections u have cars and scooters going in 5 directions when the road goes in 2:uh-huh:

haha, the traffic in the asian countries is crazy, theres no traffic laws there, u just drive :D

but yeah, the electronics is damn cheap. laptops, md's etc. very good prices, and u can bargain em down as well. also, car gear is quite cheap, i'm not sure about taiwan, but in hong kong, stuff like gear knobs, filters, rice lites etc. are very cheap compared to here.

how long r u staying there for? would love to go there, only for a holiday though.

denham could u pick up sum electronic goods 4 me? Oh and the general rule of thumb is horn to let sum1 know your presence, if they piss you off try to run em off the road, and motorcyclists are smaller than you, therefore they must give way to you. At intersections its always first come first thru, traffic lights are merely decorative... well that's how it works in India anyways... silly backward curries.. go the lankans.

I will take sum pics of the powerstation site i am workin at and my hotel!!

I have to memorise the road to and from work as the signs are all in mandrain chinese (like in crouching tiger hidden dragon).

Funky

What electronics are u after?

I am over here for about 2 weeks, depends on how work goes

    • 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.
    • 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
