Well after almost 3 years, I can finally say im the new owner of an 88' Silhouette.

Bought it for $6k

Mods: well just an exhaust, Rb25 with Rb30 bottom end, external wastegate and BOV with a T78 turbo and microtech, Has run 310rwhp on 9psi.

Guy will be tunning it to bout 200-250rwhp till i can get use to it and will bump it up gradually to bout 20psi with a cooler. Should make 400+rwhp but this wont be for a while.

Took it for a drive and its not that bad to handle, did give it some and wasnt too bad. exhaust will be getting fixed cause of a slight rattle and a newer clutch will be fitted aswell.

Should be out cruising in a few weeks once i get some more cash for roadie and rego. Pics attached below.

oh and thanks to mike and jaime for karting me back and forth over the weekend to see the car.

thanks guys, was planning on unveiling its potential at a dyno day.

    • 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.
