Cars been off the road for 6 months but I've been out in it today and initially it seemed fine( blew a type R away within 10 mins) but later on it seemed very hesitant before the turbo kicked in and was spluttering low revs in second a couple of times but again went well when turbo kicked in. Only thing I've done is altered the boost pipes that apparently I had wrong to start with according to previous posts. What I've done using 5mm internal silicone hose is replace the pipe from the actuator to the far right side of the top mount and cut a manual boost controller in the middle of it. Blanked off the one from the thick intake and looped the selinoid one. I did wonder that as the boost controller has 3 inlets like a "T" piece I've only used the 2 top ones and if you blow down a top one blanking off the opposite side air comes out the bottom one. Now do I need to blank that one off? Or have I done it right???

We will be popping over to bills on Monday afternoon to take a look at his motor, if you want to pop yours over Darren il take a quick kooky see at the same time

Check your boost and vacuum pipes very carefully first of all as sounds like a leak to me, if not il take a look as said

Haha I do have some serious bad luck with my cars at times, It's usually my own fault for doing something stupid though Embarassed why in the name of all things holy I thought it was a good idea for me to buy a 24 year old Nissan ill never know Laughing

Sorry Darren if my bad luck is somehow contagious but I bet you have missed something simple. Give me a text and I'll pop up tomorrow and have a look with you if you like? Sometimes its good to have fresh pair of eyes. If we don't have any joy pop round to mine on Monday when bobs here and get the Jedi master to work his magic Very Happy

Worried now as bad luck bill is coming with me Friday to have mine set up at street racers in Leicester . Not only will he be coming but he will be in the car. I have a vision of as soon as he sits down things falling off like a clown car as we drive down the road. By the time we get there we will only have the running gear lol

Been out with bill in the car . Over the winter i set the timing to 20 degrees as i have a different ecu from bob which should run about 1.1 bar. However i was still running standard ecu and 11 psi so we swapped them over and turned the boost up to 16 psi snd all seems fine now. Wideband showed ok so off to RR for fueling check friday and if there are any other problems im sure they will spot them

Nice one Bob, I best make sure i get my tea making skills in order Laughing just give me a text when your getting close.

It seems to misfire more when it's warmed up so should I take her for a run and get her up to temperature ready for when you get here? Should save a little time instead of waiting for it up after you arrive
