time for some bigger injectors and a re-tune. now where to go for tuning?? hmmm

Hey bodie, my R33 came off the dyno yesterday with a respectable 254rwkw, nicer tune with a bit of economy as well (getting ready to put her up for sale), Ando from southside performance retuned it and did a little trouble shooting with boost creep. As always its never "cheap" for tunes and you pay for what u get, and felt his charges were reasonable. he also lets you hang in the workshop for dyno runs, discusses things with you, and generally is a good guy and has a good knowledge base, I spoke with a mate today who has a R32 25/30 combo who will also be using southside. as allways, its usually preference when it comes to tuners, and i will add, this is the third tuner i have used in a 4 year period with over 6 cars, so horses for courses! Damo

Yeah i already know Ando, he's tuned two of my mates GTR's and i've spent a fair bit of time over at southside when it was in burnie. Definitely a top bloke!

Discovered my engine to have a air leak around the intake manifold, pulled plenum off to find third and fourth runner to be cracked around the flanges.

Thanks to jangles for supplying me with another plenum.

Noticed we go off topic about it in pretty much every thread so thought I'd post this up.

Currently I have no idea how my line is going, haha, to lazy to check and enjoying the cheap mileage in the mazda. But the clutch FINALLY arrived last tuesday and that was the only thing left to get in before it all goes together. So shouldn't be far (I hope).

No the bloke that owned it called himself Ben I am happy enough with the car just run into a patch of bad luck I suppose these things happen but it's allways to someone else well it's my turn so it will be fixed and all will be good again. It goes very well so I will cop the pain cause it's worth the gain :(

spent the whole day on the car todaybiggrin.gif, new front mount intercooler which was supposed to be a direct fit for my car but i ended up having to use the jigsaw, hammer and making new brackets up.

Also removed the rook rack which involved removing all hood lining and side trims from inside the car, just need to make some covers for where the roof racks bolted in to the roof.

    • 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.
