yaristurbo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 vac pipes crimped, are you getting boost at all, try removing the blitz and see if anything chnges mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Are you running the hybrid ct9 externally gated?Just on the first read of that it sounded like you were describing the dump valve not wastegate?Maybe you are mixing them up,Also a spec list may help?Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 blitz shouldnt make any diffrent it only splices in to the speed singal of the ecu dont see why that would effect a wastegate its not electrical Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_T Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 As said by gary, it doesn't make sense as you sound like your talking about the dump valve, not the wastegate.Needs clearing up, does it boost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 i was also thinking dv, sorry confued by a apexi power fc that uses sometime of solendiod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
(NAS) starlet ep82 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 sorry to confuse u all.. im running a external wastegate, (no dumpy)ct9 hybrid @ 0.8 barno boost controller, external wastegate runs off a spring never had a problem with the car like this before, it was totally fine since parked up.. (parked up for winter)i start the car up ever other day to keep thngs smooth..blits power meter is removed, bt i know ths has nothing to do with the problemmy mate who had the car before says maybe its because i havn driven it for a while???

Craig_T Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Does it boost?Are you just reving it, or actually driving it?You don't hear the screamer pipe at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
(NAS) starlet ep82 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Does it boost?Are you just reving it, or actually driving it?You don't hear the screamer pipe at all?jus revving it the past month, drove it today thoyeh it boosts fine, maybe slightly laggy or is it me, because havn driven it around 5weeksi havn blasted it yet, but around 2krpm the wastegate dumps air out normally.. ???

(NAS) starlet ep82 Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 anyone else know what else it may be ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
llawgoch Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 i think your problem doesnt exist. the wastegate does not need to open if u aint blasting it. try blasting it and if it holds the set boost pressure then nothing is wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ^ for your wastegate to open u have to be hitting higher than 0.8 bar which your not gonna if your just reving it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
