MitchD Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 HI all, i fitted a air filer relocation onto my glanza v ( relocated behind the grill), since doing this i have hit fuel cut 3 times peaking at 1 bar!, i have now stopped using the car until i can sort the issue. on monday i wound the HKS actuator all the way out and reset the peak on my boose gauge to try it again now i hit fuel cut at slightly higher revs and the gauge peaked at around 0.9 bar. now my suspicion is the actuator is on its last legs as it requires no efford to clip back into place and does not feel very 'springy'? can anyone advise me as to what to do next? change the actuator and if it doesnt work install a fcd and run at 0.9 bar? please advise.

Turbo Goose Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Think its because of boost creep. Now your car can take in more air and your wastegate hole isnt large enough to let enough gas out and regulate the pressure. So your boost will rise when your cars on full chat and go above the fuel cut limit of .8 bar You will need to take the turno off and port the wastegate with a dremmel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 yeah I agree with goose here.he is right.the joys of the ct9 overboosting,dam things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) this or refit the standard filter until you have time to dremal the wastegate Edited April 8, 2015 by MARC MOSS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MitchD Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Think I'll refit the standard one .Also if i save the money for all my mods for stage 1 and then fit them all at once and then get it mapped will there be any need to Dremel the wastegate ??Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Goose Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Probably mate as although you wont be hitting fuel cut due to a fuel cut defender or an emanage ecu, the boost will still creep to higher than the desired level.For example. I had my car mapped on an emanage blue at 1 bar CT9, when boosting through town it was fine but when you get on a straight flat out for a while, you will notice your boost creep up to 1.1 or maybe 1.2 bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy32 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Am about to fit a relocation pipe this week too,but had Liam rebuild my ct9 and port it at the same time so hopefully wont have this issue.have an rx7 intercooler fitted and had an fcd already on car when i bought it.any ideas where it should be set at as have never really looked into wat it does!

Ryan_EP82 GT Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Get a new actuator on too if youve went as far as a turbo rebuild. I ported the wastegate and fitted a brand new one and mine hasnt creeped since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy32 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah fitted an hks and its running around 0.9.just wasnt sure which setting the fcd should be on if any? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 turn boost down 1/4 turn to compensate for the extra air its getting no more fc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy32 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 So should i just turn the fcd to 14 and just leave it there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) 14? I thought they only go to 12 Edited April 9, 2015 by patman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 no turn the actuator down on the turbo and turn off the fcd till you hit the rollers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan_EP82 GT Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 ^^^ what Colin said. Wind actuator back a turn and disable fcd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
