The Funniest Thread I Have Ever Read!
DavidAshton replied to Sparky's topic in Not Work Safe - The Naughty Corner!
Read this other day, super funny, infact it could be the funniest thing ive ever read, caused myself an astma attack trying to disguise my laugh as a cough at work. Do not read this at work if you cant be seen laughing really loud. Ha ha ha ha ha ha the fanny fart bit did it for me. -
Where has the pic gone? Live and learn mate, at the end of the day no harm done to anyone but yourself. I am surprised you managed to get a standardish Glanza to 128mph tbh must be some scary shit
-
That does look pretty brutal, look forward to seeing how it performs.
-
Thats intersting, wounder if its buggered because i can turn my wheel when one is off the ground? Saying that i rember when i went from the n/a to this car. The glanza handled so much better even though they were both just on shock/spring set ups.

You will never be able to tell with the heatshield on, only thing that springs to mind is, on my standard one there was some text forged over the 1st runner on my jam mani its just plain.

My drive shafts has big green things on them before they go into the box, i always wonder if this is lsd or normal?

Sounds wank tbh mate, I wish you well in your recovery.

Razo Pedals,accelorator Pedal Fitting Problem
DavidAshton replied to ep91face's topic in Interior & ICE
I have that pedal, i dint fit it, came with the car. Ill have a look later how its attatched. I do know that its monted on an angle, its not straight. -
Your welcome mate, im just glad it got there one piece. Enjoy.

I dont think my mate has a bad tune at all, although he did say it was more of a progressive map rather than a sudden surge. I just think it shows that these ecu's are well mapped. Another benefit i forgot to mention is fuel consumption off boost. With my standard ecu most id done to a full tank was 300km, with the blitz ecu in ive managed to do 480km to one tank. I do a 60mile round trip to work each day so the money im saving in fuel will pay for the ecu in time. Not sure if the is the same when using emanage but it well could be.

Im running a Blitz Access ecu, with a blitz K1 turbo, i do have the advantage that the ecu is actually mapped for this turbo though. Brand wise i think they all pretty much do the same thing, they just have there own maps and to what they have been mapped for. Safety wise i never seen or herd of anyone having problems, rolling roads always show they fuel efficiently. They do run rich top end im pretty certain of, mine tends to pop a lot when shifting gear at full chat. I guess they do self learn to a certain degree, they always seem to fuel what thrown at them. They do just plug in then you up the boost. Nothing else needed management/fuel wise. On a side note power wise. I used it when i had the CT9 for a bit, my mate running a similar set up and a CT9, difference being he had air filter off turbo and i had air box, he running 0.9 bar me running 0.7. His stripped out, no air con mine full interior and aircon. He had emanage i had had the Blitz ECU. He could only just pull on me, there was very little difference in perforance. Also someone round my end run a jam ecu at 1.2 bar on a TD04 with no problems. In my opinion they are mint. If i had the airbox and decided i want to run a front mounted filter for example, i just do it. I dont have to go back and pay however much to get it re mapped like i would if running emange.

mehhh cant make it, silverstone f1, sure you had a meet same day as silverstone last year too.

Has Anyone Run/running A Blitz K1 Turbo?
DavidAshton replied to DavidAshton's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Right i now have everything sorted, no boost creep, no intercooler leaks no nothing. Only think is im not hitting full boost till 4k, ive been told this is laggy as fook and should be more like 2.7k full boost. Could this be due to the fact there was a crack in the wastegate? (i didnt know it was cracked when buying and wouldnt have bought it if i did know) If not any other ideas? -

Ah reet, leave it venting to the atmosphere, if you block it you will be in perminant lo boost. -
When are you getting the puffs of smoke?

Has Anyone Run/running A Blitz K1 Turbo?
DavidAshton replied to DavidAshton's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Yeah ive got a pipe from turbo to actuator then a t piece in the middle that goes to hi/lo solinoid. The pipe that come from the nipple on the efi goes to the bottom port of the solinoid, just find a pic of a standard engine an plumb it so it looks the same. @ Jay, i didnt realise the efi fitted with just the bung removed i put some silicon joiner there, will change that now, cheers. -
Has Anyone Run/running A Blitz K1 Turbo?
DavidAshton replied to DavidAshton's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
They definatly love to boost. But progress has been made thankfully, initally tried the blitz actuator, hi boost, 1.3 bar before i thought fook this so no idea what it fully boosts to in hi, lo boost, .6 bar creep up to 1.15. So back to the drawing board, decided to put the air box back on with HKS panel filter and the blitz actuator. Hi 1.3 again BUT lo held 0.6 all the way to the redline, i knew low boost runs off just the actuator so thought yay no more creep and i can increase the boost using the toytuning actuator. Low and behold it worked, so i have the stock air box with the toytuing actuator plumed into hi/lo so lo boost .85 bar and hi 1.05 bar. Its a fookin animal when it get to a bar, totally love it. Only thing i think is that the air box is restricting it a bit top end and also im not hitting a bar till 4000 rpm which again im thinking it down to the air box. Been having a look around and most people who run/have run a k1 have the efi pipe on and either air box or open filter at the back of the bay. So im guessing blitz designed this with the efi pipe in mind. Im going to try an open filter in back of bay see how it responds. Only thing that concerned me was how much i had to wind the actuator in to get it boosting a bar. CT9 was at 0.7 and ive wound it in another 7 turns to get a bar on the k1 but one of my intercooler pipes leaks over .6 bar so i guess it could be due to this, i just couldnt be arsed to look for leaks after all the messing about ive had to do. -
Has Anyone Run/running A Blitz K1 Turbo?
DavidAshton replied to DavidAshton's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
No ive not checked the afr's checked i only put it on today. I get what your saying about the tuning on a budget but i dont see the problem with this set up. It came off a car that had this set up in japan, the ecu is clearly marked for a K1, the only real difference is the engine its going through. Anyway im going to put the blitz actuator on and plumb in the hi/lo, im hoping this will calm it down, like when you take the hi/lo off a ct9 it increases boost, maybe this will decrease it putting it back in. I was also thinking maybe the ECU talks to the standard boost controller, like something blitz set up within the access ecu. -
Has Anyone Run/running A Blitz K1 Turbo?
DavidAshton replied to DavidAshton's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
There is no way im porting it, it wasnt cheap either so dont plan on breaking it. I could get it mapped etc but i wanted to do this on a budget and do it all with bolt on mods. Tomorrow im going to stick the actautor it came with on, its has outlets for hi/lo so ill plug all that in and see what it does. -
Has Anyone Run/running A Blitz K1 Turbo?
DavidAshton replied to DavidAshton's topic in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust
Its set so low to try and combat the creep, if i set it higher it just creeps sooner. Standard internals will handle a bar but they wont when its creeping to 1.2. I really dont want to piss about restricting airflow when im on a hybrid seems stupid -
If so do you suffer from immense boost creep? Fitted mine today and tbh its shite. My actuator is set at .5 bar, upto 5000rpm it creeps to .7, can deal with the and would adjust my actuator to creep to a bar BUT come 5000rpm it goes metal and within the space of 1000rpm im at 1.2 bar, not what i want to be slamming through standard internals. Its just wait wait wait, 1 bar for a split second them i changing gear. I did notice when fitting, the exhaust side looks identical to a ct9 same size wastegate/wastegate flap and exhaust blade size. Is this just Blitz being crap and not realising its going to need a bigger wastegate. I just feel like lobbing the thing now. Can anyone suggest anything to help? I did take the actuator that came with it off and put my toytuing one on, could the standard style actuator be a blitz one an be able to sort it out (cant see how but never know) I know the real answer is probably going to be port the wastegate, but i dont fancy taking a grinder to such an expensive turbo and really should i have to stupid blitz. Would porting even sort it on on this turbo? Wish id bought a GT spec one off enzo now, oh and my setup is blitz k1, jam mani, fmic, decat, zorst, front mounted air filter and a blitz access ecu mapped for a k1. Cheers David
