I could have gotten better but kept missing gears , oh well..

I think its not bad for stock turbo , stock management.

Missing gears?

Have you got a truck gearbox or something, how many gears can you miss?:)

reason i was missing third gear was because i thought i might try some redline shockproof.

I found its excellent for protecting the box but doesnt allow the syncro's to spin up quick enough. So i was having trouble getting third , just woudnt go in.

So i came home put ELF gearbox fluid back in and its back to normal.

So far the box is holding up but its getting whiny .... i think its on a life expiry ... going going BANGGGGGGGGGG

14.6 thats damn good for a almost stock car man !

I was down at the plex last meet with Imacul8 and noticed that the VT range of HSV's ( including Utes) where only running 14.7's and up.

Pretty lame for a hard arse car......

Why Jap cars are better than late model domestics part 1.

thanks guys at least im improving i think the car is able to do better its me that needs to perfect the techniques but im happy especially as its a auto and all. I might stick with it as stock this season then do some work - like pod and cat back exhaust, boost controller and see what the improvement is like

    • 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
