GlanzaJim Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Most of you gather from my name i own a sportif. 2 years ago when i joined the forum i was a owner of a rose quatz starlet. That gave up on me at 155k. Then i went onto a starlet SR. witch i sold to my mate for £500 was a minter. (Mates rates) then i owned 2 civics. Loved them! Then i thought to my self i really miss the starlets. Checked insurance and it came back great so ahead i went and got a glanza v! Always wanted a white one and took me a few months. When i got the car engine wise is standard. Heres a few picsCar did have rota slipstreams on they was badly curbed so i spent some pennys on brand new rota grids 15" in parada spec 2s all round.The car had a top mount so i bought a second hand JPerformance intercooler kit and got it fitted. (Bumpers a state i know) i then thought it was too big! So i bought a smaller one for a cost of £20!followed soon by a pair of 98 spec rear lights.I had 2 cobra bucket seats in.these was nice but i had to swap for standard GT seats with (Nick82) as i have a child and these was fixed and dont move.Just an idea of my car.

Zeldoz Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Look good matey. Your running a similar spec to me by the looks of it. How are you running @ 0.9bar? You got a FCD, or a P&P ECU etc? With a simular setup im boost creeping to around 0.8bar on factory ECU and it will creep to fuel cut straight away... Wondering how your running it! Lewis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Cheers dude. Yeah near on the same spec. Just a fmic and a cat back system! Not running a Dump Valve either lol, im on 0.9 yeah but i creep aswell. Im sure just this ct9 setup has had it.. i got a Hks FCD..standard ecu etc.. i have never had boost cut. And can take it right round on the dial no problem, but like i say i have a cracked mani and major lag somewhere just never ends :/ .Havent you got a FCD?by the way did you have to get a new gasket for the rocker cover after you painted it?

I bought a new gasket but my engine had done 83km's like 40k-50k so it was mint. It looked as prestine as the new one i had.. Have you got fueling setup to compensate for the 0.9bar boost?

GlanzaJim Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ahh result then! no fueling setup at all. Yet i do feel like it is over fueling. Was suppose to of been setup in erith last week but seeing the crack and other things i thought it wasnt a good idea. So really im on .9 with just a FCD, adjustable atchuator, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So really im on .9 with just a FCD, adjustable atchuator,Your asking for trouble turn that fuel cut defender off and put the boost down pre fuel cut, your going to be running it lean. Lean melts engines. Don't turn the FCD on until it's been set up properly with the RRFPR. Edited November 23, 2013 by TurboTobz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Does feel like its over fueling. Think ill crack on with that.yet not a clue how to turn the atcuator down? Heres a few pics, New system next saturday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 You can't feel how your engines fuelling accurately enough lol, glanzas always stink of fuel! Little nut on actuator arm to adjust it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GlanzaJim Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I know im saying like it smells of fuel, what way do i go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 You'd have to do a search on here, I can't remember exactly, these do smell fuelly it's pretty normal, I miss it when I drive anything else lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
