SAEED Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 hi last week i had lots of mods fitted to my 98 glanza e.g.tongs hybrid ct9, sps manifold, hks actuator, blitz dumpvalve, hks spark plugs, magnacore 8.0 leads, blitz oil filter, air filter relocated, exedy racing clutch, trd engine mounts, civic aluminium radiator, throttle pulley and i had the timing belt, power steering belt, water pump belt changed. i also had a fuel filter and oil changed.once all the mods where fitted by the mechanic i took the car for a drive and everytime i pushed the acceleration pedal to the ground the car just loses power and goes really slow and when i ease off the acceleration the power comes back. if i drive the car and slowly push the pedal down its fine it wont lose power but from the 3 turbo lights only 2 light up. the dumps valves are weak and im really confused. i currently dont have a boost gauge fitted to the car and i havent got a boost controller. please help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Get a boost gauge, I can't believe you've done all those other mods without fitting one, its one of the most important things to fit on a turbo'd car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 What ECU/management are you using? And how much boost are you running? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ste91 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Sounds like you're simply hitting fuel cut then.Get your boost gauge wired up and turn the boost down a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scot-ish Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 but why aint all the turbo lights lighting up. is there any other way of checking if it is defo fuel cut.yeh, if you dont have a FCd then it is you hitting fuel cut, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 well i think fuel cut is at like 0.8bar or something close so if your boost is over that it wont let the 3 lights come on if you get me. hate fuel cut lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 can pretty much guarantee that your hitting fuel cutputting that amount of mods onto the car without a boost gauge you cant see what your runningfirstly im selling a hks fcd if you want it £60 delivered pm me if interested.id also guess it might be running a bit lean if you have all these mods on on standard management depending on what boost your running at. id say get your gauges wired up, buy a fcd and then get the emanage on and get it mapped and fuelled correctly. then it should go like fuck and run very reliably mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SAEED Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 my cars also got a 5e bottom end if that make any difference to the problem and i all ready have a fcd but i didnt want to fit it but guess il have to. thanks for you replys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 deffo worth a shot mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 No point doing anything until you fit that boost gauge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Have to agree with Wallace, the boost gauge should really of been the first thing you did, get that done and THEN try and find a solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 yep agreed with wallace x2 until you get an accurate boost reading its hard to say for sureget that and you should be able to work the problem out easily bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Don't fit a FCD without sorting the fuelling... fuel cut is there for a reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SAEED Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 its not fuel cut. basicly insted of fitting the fcd i bought a emanage blue and i gave the car in for a remap. if you put your foot flat on the trottle whilst car is in neutral the revs go up to 6000 revs and drop down to 2000 revs then bounces up and down around 2000- 4000 revs. the car is hitting 0.5-.6 bar of boost. the mechanic said he believes its an electronic related problem he had a look around the engine but couldnt find anything wrong. some 1 plz help.
