Raising Boost Level

[Nilz90]

Hi guys,

I have a starlet gt on a TD04 with a Kinguwa actuator, when I brought the car the boost was set at 0.4.

It came with a boost controller but the engine pipes for the boost controller were disconnected. 

I want to raise the boost level to 0.7.

What's the best way to do this? I'm happy to leave the controller disconnected until I map the car sometime next year or would I be better off connecting it up for now?

Connect it up. Glanza will be fine at 0.8bar on a td04

Ok thanks I will connect it up.

Will it be ok to run it on 0.8 bar with Standard fueling. I don't have a FPR or FCD installed, just a walbaro fuel pump?

[Ollieh17]

yes

If I were you I'd get an fpr just to be safe. Plus if you do you can run it on 1bar boost. Obviously need an FCD for that.

Been running with this setup for a while now myself. :)

on the other hand of that if you go beyond FC and rais feul pressure  milage will suffer big time brings al sorts of little problems with it to over time

Just run it under fuel cut as Ollie said until you have proper management to go above this. 

FCD and FPR is very crude and affects the fuelling across the whole rev range not just where you need it.
