New sensor hasn't lasted very long.. same sort of symptoms, then read fine sometimes until your at full chat where it'll hold for a second then wave goodbye and sweep to full lean - starting to doubt my mounting of it but reassured it's OK seeing how long the first sensor lasted.. new sensor time again lol Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Cheers guys, I stuck a new sensor in yesterday and all back to normal, it's odd because it doesn't seem like a sensor issue when it reads hit and miss, learn something new everyday! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Ok so over the last few days my wideband has been doing some crazy things, first noticed on sunday morning that upon leaving home in the morning the gauge was stuck on lean, 3 dashes, for around 15 mins of steady driving and me flicking the screen in a passive attempt to encourage it back into normality it started reading again but the readings were totally alien to me, and extremely laggy, my setup has been spot on running friendly low 11s at WOT and hovering around 14.7 cruising around. Now at WOT it'll read a dodgy 13 and then when you cruise again it'll sit around 16.5-17, and then sometimes will get itself stuck back on the 3 dashes for a bit. A little concerning now I have no indication of what's going on but I'm confident all is as it should be, no change in running or driving whatsoever so I'm led to a dodgy sensor which I'm waiting on. I've checked all wiring and plugs and all is as good, just curious if anyone else has had similar issues with the aem wideband? I know the sensors need renewing every so often, this ones been in for a good 6 months..? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

As above what's out there? Ideal if wastegate included with screamer, no problem if not! Can travel no problem depending where Thanks

An irrelevant survey If it's a yes I hope you had a fixed grin!

After doing some research I may be at a loose end with the F-CON. No GCC or the specific 'HKS' map sensor which is said to be essential. I think it may be easier to run the emanage, I know I've got everything I need with that and it can be mapped without the headache. Has anyone any idea what the F-CON is worth? TC

Thanks gainzy, if it's perfectly capable I think it'll be staying! Looks older than me lol.

I was in the process of removing the FCD from the glanza, followed the loom back and discovered it's got a HKS PFC F-CON fitted. Does anyone know much about these systems and or anywhere that can map them? I bought emanage blue to go on the car that I planned on running my td04 set up with but this was a pleasant find!

Exact same here lol, "what's been going on under here then". Traced all back to turbo timer and secured neatly after untangling it from 5km of aftermarket wiring. Stripped out various outlaw wiring along with unnecessary james bond gubbins, much tidier!

Cheers dean, that makes everything so much clearer lol. I think you're right on the money there.

Seemed to have opened a can of worms. Hopefully someone can shed some light ð What is this box and what does it do? It's spliced into the loom, plumbed into a t-piece which is going to the boost gauge. Box is blank but has an a-b switch. Many thanks in advance

Thanks guys. Got it set up 0.5 bar stay on the safe side of things. Bring on the next steps. I'm glad to be back in the V I must say, I've been stuck in a daewoo matiz for a few days haha they are dangerous

Update - boost issue resolved, turns out the bespoke filter was too restrictive, removed the foam and just used the mesh and we are now operating correctly! Now time to set the boost, I've read 0.6 bar is good for my circumstances - until ecu install and mapping etc. Just got the 255 pump in, waiting on 360cc injectors. Thanks again TC

Thanks for the replies and help, I'll report back shortly.

So over the last few days leading up to christmas I had my glanza in the garage so I could convert to TD04. Everything has gone on great, fits well, looks good, thoroughly checked over and I'm just in the stage of setting it up so I can get driving it again until I send her off for ecu and mapping. The issue I'm having is I'm not getting any boost, the turbo is spooling and chattering but there's no real pressure there, taking it on a short drive round the block there's no boost, just spooling and a quiet chatter. I've used my hks actuator and modified the bracket to suit and ran the vacuum pipes the same as they were on the ct9, from nipple on compressor housing to actuator. I thought the problem was the position of the actuator but in my eyes I don't think that's the problem. Question 1) Is the vacuum set up correct - From nipple on compressor housing to actuator? Or do I need to run vac lines somewhere else? I assumed to vac pipe is routed the same as on the ct9 Question 2) I've attached a picture, please can anyone confirm of this is correct - see anything wrong? Any help is massively appreciated, I'd like to set it up on low boost for now until I get it mapped with supporting fuelling mods. Air filter is temporary, lol, hand crafted by a good friend as I don't have anything to fit in the tight space for now. Thanks in advance TC

No problem, the glanza is a great learning curve for me regarding tuning, as it's all pretty fresh to me, likewise I know my cars but learning them is never ending. Supporting mods - boost solenoid bridge.. (someone please correct if I'm wrong) so that the factory two mode low & high boost is disabled so you run high boost only, adjustable actuator, fmic, exhaust, mines currently using an fcd but the car is coming off the road soon for td04 swap and some proper management, fuelling, mapping etc. StuDoc I agree with you on the VXR front, I have two mates with them always complaining about fuel. I travel around 30 miles daily to and from work with mixed driving, with any other little outings included probably 200 miles a week, which a full tank can just about see through with exceptions.. I had a diesel ibiza before the glanza churning out a steady 50+mpg all day which you could probably drive to the moon on a full tank lol but overall for what the glanzas and starlets are they return exceptional fuel economy I must say ð¤

I've been using mine daily since owning mid summer, still on the ct9 with supporting mods pushing the usual 160-170 @ 0.7 bar. Regular servicing and maintenance, I've had no bother. I think like said above it comes down to the maintenance side of things, as with most cars, and a lot of things in life lol. I think it's a great little car for daily driving.
