No nothing abnormal at all, AFR I don't know as I haven't got any way of measuring it without a dyno. My dad seems to think it could be something to do with worn piston rings or valves but I cannot see any tell tale signs of that :/

My problem has returned !! God sake !! It seems that the car performs really well whilst the engine is relatively cool, but then as it warms up and gets to full running temprature it's seems to perform a lot worse ! You can hear the car boosting as strong and the guage shows it's still boosting at 1bar but is seems to be loads slower !! It's worrying me a bit now guys!! Help

luckily I have an ultrasonic thickness tester at work and the tube wall thickness is between 5 and 6mm thick which I was pleasantly surprised at and the welds are all very neat and with near on perfect lay (sorry to be anal but I do a lot of fabrication work) so hopefully it will be ok. if it fails ill get a compact equal length ordered

the front mounted filter kit was bought from toy tuning whilst the were still trading but I have put a K&N filter on since then, and the manifold I do not know but it is a stainless standard type tube cut and welded piece. does that help at all.

Hi guys, I've upped the boost to 1 bar and thanks to my stupidity I found the problem to the holding back. I has the safety limo on the boost controller set lower than the boost I ha set so it kept holding back ...... What an idiot ! So yet that car is loads better for the boost up ! Thanks for all your advice I'm just trying to weigh up where I go next to keep the ca reliable but add some more ponies ?? Any advice more than welcome!

Thanks for all the replies guys ! I would like to turn the boost up past 0.8bar but it seems that when I do (using blitz digital controller) it feels as if holds back between 4000rpm and 6000rpm it only seems to be noticable in 4th or 5th. What could the be ?

Thanks guys I am surprised it is is as high as that ! What should I be looking to do next to see more gains ? Fueling,intake manifold? I am not sure where to go next thanks again for your input.

Hi guys, I've got a glanza 1996 model with the following modifications could people give me a rough idea on what it would be running ? Just would be good to have a ballpark figure before I have it dyno'd after crimbo Mod list: Sard analyse ECU Widebanded FMIC hard piped in 2.5/3" pipe work Stainless manifold (standard type) Stainless decat Full 5zigen exhaust system Ct9 turbo @ .8 bar Front mount air filter Trd ignition leads and iridium plugs Air con removed completely HKS actuator Ported waste-gate There are other bits but non that I can see making a difference to the performance. Like tine coil over and what not. Rough guesses are appreciated I don't need definite figures

Hi Guys, I am looking to buy a FMIC does anyone have anything ? Thanks.
