bucketep91 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 sorry my fault, the boost drops away at 4500 not the revs the revs stay where they are but it wont let me rev past that certain point, no its definately not fuel cut as im running stock boost at the momentsounds timing related then get that checked and go from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgie Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 cheers for the help guys i hope i get it sorted soon its really irritating me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scot-ish Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 strange one.so once it gets to 5000 rpm, it wont go above that, and soon as it gets to 5000 rpm, the boost drops to 0??once once you slow down, and then speed up, im assuming it just repeats this?dump valve, , but youve changed it?wastegate gettin stuck open.youve dropped to standard boost, so is this happening, at a certain rpm, or a certain level of boost, for example, it always happens at 0.7 bar? or it always happens at 4500 rpm?

scot-ish Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 sounds like its in safe mode, but that would bring on the ecu light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgie Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hey all im gav georgies man friend lol,irl be using her profile until mine is activated as its getting increasingly hard relaying messages back an forth betwwen here and georgie etc, irl post up a intro thread/build thread of my mr2 im building when i next get time.just wanted to say thanks for your help so far, you seam to be avery helpfull bunch As georgie has stated i have just about checked every conceivable outcome to no avail, im pritty stumped but as said it does sound timming related.As said, the car pulls rearly hard in all gears and the turbo starts to spool up nice with no noises whines or rattles, then once the revs have reached 4,500 5,000 rpm boost drops instantly to 0 no matter what the boost is set at, with what feels like the engine holding back and wont go beyond 4,500/5,000rpm, it holds the revs but no boost, no fault lights come on the dash either, ie EM etcThis is what i have done so far for checkshks bov swaped for a bailey dumpreset ecuchecked all hoses and clipsdisconnected avcr SOL and reverted back to stockboost guage hose checked, i even disconected the guage completely to make sure there were no faults with the internals of the guagetheres no cracks on any charge pipe work, and there are no cracks in the exhaust mannithe hks actuater feels very stiff with no play atallim pritty stumped, i will check the timming tamuro but if that fails new actuator to make sure, then im going to be rearly stumpedif anyone else has any thorts on this please feel free to add your inputThanks again Gav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'd try re-fitting the stock turbo and see if it still does it. Also have you got any fuelling mods to go with the hybrid turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spoonz Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 im a bit confused with all the posts loldose ti go past 5000rpm??? or dose it just stay at 5000rpm like its the end of the rev range? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GAZ@A&G_TUNING Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 what air filter do you have on there mate? could be all blocked up and starving the engine of air at the higher rpmwhip it off and take it round the block to see what happen's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 what hybrid turbo do you have on there, is it a tongs?has it done this since you fitted the hybrid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Georgie Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 hey all sorry just been out in the pouring rain doin the old paper clip dianostic check but no codes were thrown up new it wasnt going to be a pig lol.wallace, we cant fit the old turbo as it shit its seals when boost was increased, we have uprated the fuel pump walbro 255 new filter etc but that is it, im planning on buying her a FPR in the near future but wouldnt of thought the fueling would be such a restiction as the stock injectors are only runnin a max of 40% if that, AFR seem to be nice and rich aswell. whats your thoughts?Spoonz, it holds rpm buddy but dosnt dropGaz, an aftermarket one pal unsure of make was fitted by previous owner, i will pop it off for a clean tamuro but from what i can see the green filter is nice and clean looking but will double checkEnzo, yes mate its tong was brand new from you, fitted last week primed as detailed in the instrutions supplied with it, it does seem to be more noticeble after the turbo has been fitted.i would hav thought if the timing was out it would affect the running of the car through out the rev range not just a certain points.im rearly confussed now i have also spoken to alot of jap builders i deal with all stumped aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AZE@A&G_TUNING Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 it could be a split vac to the actuator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
