So I bought my car a few days ago and it was running 1.1 bar and from what I can see it still has the standard ecu and no fpr so can't see how the furling has been matched to handle the extra boost. The car has a gizzmo boost controller but from what I can tell it dosent go below a bar so I've unplugged it and its now running around 0.85 bar but would like it to be a little lower and can't I stand why It hasn't gone back to standard boost settings? Anybody got any ideas?
Any help appreciated

Just bought my car last night and I need to adjust the boost and turn it down but not sure how to adjust it on this controller, anyone got one? Or know how to?
(Sorry for the poor photo)

Its on the right hand side of the engine above the gear box a pipe from your radiator goes onto it.
Nice one mate thanks for your help!
nice 98 spec as per other comments best colour too.
Thanks mate I love the white V's

Yes mate very easy 2 or 3 bolts on the housing take tht off and pull the old one out. Stick a garden hose in there flush out the system stick your new stat in and bolt it back up. Top up the coolant and your away mate.
Some nice parts there mate and youve most definately joined the right club.
Nice one mate thanks very much! Where can I find the housing? (Sorry if its a stupid question but still learning about these cars!)
Some really good info and helpful members on the forum!
Think ill order a new thermostat from ID workz later!
-
Ahh have never seen you about! And ct9 mate, going rolling road next week so see what it's pushing out!Nuneaton also you will see me around. whats the spec of this?? still on the Ct9 or Td04?
-
Damn thats nice. Can't go wrong with white on white.
Thanks mate!

The temp thing is because you need a new thermostat matey. Nice easy fix but make it your top priority or you will end up with a rattly engine
Nice base you have looks tidy I like the wheels whats it like inside? Any nice parts on there?
I see you have both front and back optional splitters too.
Happy modding!
Thanks for the temp gauge fix! Is it easy to fit a new thermostat? As for the splitters I didn't even know that! Haha
And parts, ct9, hks ssqv, hks boost gauge, electronic boost gauge (which I need to work out how too use because it's running 1 bar and don't want to run it that high at the moment! Full 98 spec interior, optional rear strut brace in the boot
About all I can remember at the moment!
Just trying to figure everything out about it!
-
very nice mate another one from round my area in white lol.. theres about 3 now and welcome to the forum maybe we can meet up soon
Thanks mate! Very pleased with it! Where you from pal?
Looked earlier also and was running 1.1 bar! Turned the boost down to 0.9 as I do t think it's forged! And don't want to risk it! As far as I'm aware it's on standard management, does that mean I have fcd wired in somewhere?
-
Cheers mate and deffinatly the best colour!
At the minute I'm just going to sort out all 'nigly' bits, then coilovers and handling before power I think but i get the feeling that might change

So been wanting a Glanza since I first found out about the cars, and eventually I have one
Really pleased with it! Drove 340 miles to get the car and it's finally home around 2am this morning
Heres a few quick pics I took this morning. (Excuse the dirt it was a long drive!)
Few little bits wrong,
1) The exhaust hits the bumper slightly so will need to move that across!
2) temp gauge does not really work it goes up to about a quarter then stays mostly at cold. (Anybody have any ideas as to what this could be?)
Apart from that shes sweet and bloody quick too! I didn't realise how fast these little cars really were!
It's got the LSD box aswel which was what I wanted and I'm so chuffed with it!
Comments welcome

Cheer for the help mate!

Excellent, we recommend them to anybody who is after coilovers.
Meister quote a softer spring rating as factory settings from memory, BC offer custom spring rates for no extra cost

Liking the meisterR coil overs also the look of this DGR on the group buy especially the price tag!
-
The BC Racing coilovers are an excellent product, well worth the money

What are they like as street handling though? Speed bumps, pot holes etc

Think I may go for the meisterR ones as many good things said about them, any chance you know how low they drop?
-
Hi all, just joined the forum will be purchasing my first glanza V tomorrow and will be looking at buying coil overs for it, just wondering what are the best to go for? Seen people recommend meisterR ones but also been looking at the D2's,
And help will be appreciated
Boosting issue
in Electronics

Still on the standard actuator, the solenoid looks as though it has as there's two pipes coming from the actuator going into a little blue box which I guess would give the psi readings on the boost controller, as for fcd I don't know because I haven't found it yet! The guy told me it had been a mapped but I'm wary on believing him, it still has the standard ecu but by the looks of things the wiring going into it has been butchered, so it's any mans guess what's been wired in!
I'd just like to turn it down for now until I found out what's going on if the fueling in still stock or has been tweaked!
