It's not a good idea to wind up boost with the stock ecu on that engine. This street racer found out the hard way.

That pic suggests not enough boost as it was just bent, not a clean break, amateur at best[emoji12]

will need fill custom dose pipe, going to be hard to find a 10" pipe and bends lol

Nah, grab some huge sheetmetal and roll it.

Try skylines spares in Sydney he has neos on the shelf.

Thanks Pat, that did the trick!

Just paid for a Neo long engine, wasn't cheap but hopefully it will live up to the expectation.

Man there's a Neo drought out there big time...

So , question has to be asked....identified why you are knocking around the engine?  I  would expect a NEO to be very happy a the power level you are running

Nope, we don't have a 100% clear answer at the moment. My suspicion is that what was originally identified as a blown HG (after much debate, since the evidence was inconclusive) ended up being a more sinister underlying issue with the engine. My best guess at the moment is a crack in the block but for a full diagnosis we'd have to tear down the bottom end and possibly crack test the block. I'm not interested in throwing any more good money after bad at the moment frankly, so we may be left guessing for a while.

And yes I've run it at 20psi / 275rwkw for a while, which is meant to be within the 'safe' range for a Neo. It died after about 8 track days so I'm wondering if there's a street 'safe' and a track 'safe' power level, and how different they might be...

Send me your tune file, I'll see what's going on there.

When I tune for track cars I always tune the entire mid range below MBT, taking at times 3 to 5 degrees out. This limits the amount of peak torque the motor can make thus keeping it together a little longer. Yes EGT goes up, but just richen it up close to 11 afr (on gasoline scaling) for E85. On 98RON I drop it under 11 afr. I don't aim for a flat AFR which most Internet experts like.

Thanks man will do! I've got the Consult cable but do I need a full version of the Nistune software to grab the tune?

hrms.. good question, if not just do a screen shot of the timing table and roughly tell me which load cells it's hitting and/or what TP Load is roughly equal to what boost

Looks like there is a trial version: https://www.nistune.com/index.php/support/software-downloads

I'll check it when I get the car back home, hopefully in two weeks or so...

Ok I may have a buyer for the original refreshed cylinder head, any tips on how to package up one properly for safe delivery?


Bubble wrap the f**k out of it.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
