bucketep91 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 sold a lad local to me a bov, he doesent use these forums or anything. he was having problems with it and brought it up for me to have a look and we sorted it, cut a long story short i had a wee shot of his car, its hitting 1bar under 3k rpm and pulls well right up to the redline, but while fitting the bov i remembered he had a standard mani and cat. pulled over and had a look its completley stock except a s/s system,and nology ht leads and a greddy boost guage. no fueling mods, no boost controller or bleed valves, no adjustable actuator, nothing? was annoying me at this point and i had the glove box out to have a looka t the ecu. guess what.... STOCK no fcd either?crossed my mind that the guage might be faulty but it did pull very well and certainley didnt feel stock!so WTF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shane_o Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 guage is reading wrong imo, as soon as mine hit a bar that was fuel cut so if it dint hit fuel cut it cant be right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 felt quicker than my glanza did at .8 on the standard turbo. its quick EDIT- fuel cut is around .85 shane Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 try his boost guage in yours. it sound like it isnt reading right tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bucketep91 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 hes away now i dont really know him. its just doing my head in.it definetley didnt feel like a standard car mate it was pretty quick. at first i thought it might have been a jam actuator but there is no fcd.and it spools nicley to 1bar its not creeping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It could have a JAM actuator fitted as they look like the standard one. Also an fcd doesn't have to be wired in right at the ecu so it could have one elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 did you look at the guage went the car was off or was it a electrical guage. your used to your car with a fmic remember. my glanza felt slower with the fmic compared to the tmic and it always feels quicker being a passanger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 dodgy gauge, fcd somewhere... or a very funky remapped ecu from japland.my mates glanza had an original ecu that had been remapped back in japan, but obviously that is very unlikely on a completely stock V.

bucketep91 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 i was driving his car vpower, it doesnt feel like a stock car. i had a look around the map sensor too for a fcd, the boost guage has been plumbed in normally but the vacum hose from the t piece didnt go through the firewall at the top, it went to the bootom and in that way and the guage is mounted at the passenger side of the dash.its really baffled me thats why im asking lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 wether its reading a bar on the gauge or not it surely cant be going over .85 bar without management or fcd or it would cutvery strange indeed lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
