A few months back a HPI had the R33 skyline in it with a review on it. I leant the mag to a friend and he can't find it - I virtually bought the mag just for that!!

Anybody able to scan the article in reasonable resolution so I can keep the article.

I think it was HPI vol 56

Thanks

Ben

HPI has done a number of reviews on the 33 over the years, but i think i know the one you're referring to. When i get time 2morro i'll have a flick thru my collection, but i dont have a scanner -i'll try my best with my 4.0mp digi cam if i find the article.

Thanks Konrad - what a champ!

I think it is No.56 - according to the site it is still the current issue but I don't think it is. I might order one but it would be good if you could post up the article or send it over. I might PM you my email

      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.
