pull the ecu from the chassis and turn it so you can see the backside(retarded design imho that adds 3 feet of wiring). Use a flat head to turn the screw. IIRC its CW for like a second then CCW to go into code read mode.

recirculated bov?...

I know not to touch em so no I have not personally used them. I have seen this issue in other platforms, straight pump gas so no ethanol break down(well I assume its slightly possible as local fuels tested over 23% ethanol on 87oct, not sure about 93) The way I see it is they are somewhat hit or mis...

a couple of us are currently dealing with crappy wastegates, similar issue I can hit boost and hold x psi one trip, next trip it will spike to set psi then drop over half its pressure(10 drop to 4)

best mbc I have used was an ebay ball/spring/bleeder type

for the record a tt clutch will NOT fit an autozone d21 flywheel(el cheapo white bunny). The tt pressure plate is larger.

I'll step in and say all I have really heard about ID 1000/2000cc squirters is trouble. It does seem like people on oem ecu have the most issues. So just be aware its a known issue

really you have issue with nds? what concult are you using? Only had issues with the ecutalk so far, even the ebay specials work good. Just no afr

just unhook the line to the wg to see if thats the issue, that is what has kept me from tearing my turbo setup off.


perfect example of what mine does, today otw to the store boost spikes to 10 then drops to 4ps, otw home it spikes to 8 and holds roughly 7psi. frustration

yeah man I'm on like 3rd wg I've swapped springs and diaphragms around with varying levels of failure. Went to pick up a z31 internal gate from huffman and all the way home boost was holding fine. SO how can a wg fix itself? emusa wastegates suck the soft one.. unless you have a suspect bov ,dont wa...

is that maf housing sealed?

welcome to my world.. months of this issue.. I've tried a million things

is the input tracer accurate? looks like you need to add some fuel. I'm guessing around 13ish psi from the timing/fuel maps

after you check your timing, check it again, stock ecu can be lame about this..

do it !!!!!

yeah you cant find the knock threshold for a ka, safely...

I dont even ef around with a ka built or not 1 degree per pound of boost, 11.4:1 or richer depending on boost and octane.

other kiss
keep
it
safe
stupid

a circular port is easy lolnone of the de stuff seems to have legit ports

glad its fixed,

toss a few strong magnets on the pan and the bolt wont go anywhere unless a hard bump in which case the next magnet should get it.

you face the cams away from each other , with the lobes parallel to the engine(vc mating surface) not the ground.

You dont 'need' to pull the lower cover, just set the engine to tdc then put the cams in properly, the dots are for a faster assembly without thinking..

what are your cranking settings I found a lower ignition timing cranking made for smoother starts, also make sure the skip pulse is set to about 2(I cant get by with 1 but starts right up every time without kickback on 2)

oh snap my sig pic changes per event or as better pics from an event come out

! god yes its dangerous i pre filter change afr's are scary to me, I like 11's , mid to high for sub 10psi, lower then 11.5:1 for more than 10psi. speaking from experience I think the ebay 3 layer green filters flow more, I can see through my ebay filter when with the real hks I could not see throug...

like said afm's are emotional train wrecks...

The best running ka's are often stock and there is a reason for it lol.

btw the hks is a really free flowing filter! Alone could be the afr change.,

global yeah you might just pull that nine, hit the track man!!!!

yeah 6 degrees is a bunch of timing, might not crack 9's but I think you will be close.

6* global or just at boost?

what rpm is your launch control set to? that was a very hard launch!

yeah its doable I've done the reverse, sohc ecu powering dual cam.. was some changes made in the rom to sync with the cas, warm up timing was a little insane(cost me a couple motors so I gave up on the idea..

I'm sure there were things I missed that these guys have figured out.

make sure the fuel lines are hooked up right, this has happen to countless speople

nice build,

you were melting that piston

old setup megasquirt? recirculated bov? nice

I might try a new setup after this weekend but for now pcv to scavenge and the vc is to can to pre turbo, going to have to work for the event. If its bad tomorrow night I will change it up saturday after tech.. something about locked out smoked out kats sideways is beautiful, if by make out you mean...

just want to toss in some info for the compression I got a cheap motor back in the day and after 2 years of beating it boosted I did a compression test that came back 212psi was found to be sohc piston motor. Was ran at 18psi for a while, with a few screw ups that spiked 25psi was on 93 octane and a...

yeah my previous setup would fill the damn can during an event (vc to can pre turbo with pcv to check valve to manifold) so I am trying to avoid that.

Would running both pcv and vc to a can then pre turbo be ok?

event starts in like 50 hours
