    When cold = full boost but no acceleration?

    Mine is fine when cold, though a bit more like an on-off switch. It sounds like the fuel ratio is lean.

    (sigh) blowing efi fuse

    Don't know if this'll help, but a while back, I was driving along and the car just shut down. When I checked the fuses- the EFI was blown. I replaced it, and as soon as I tried to start, it blew. After like 5 fuses, I found that part of the harness was resting on the intake manifold near the...

    The debate of electric vs mechanical engine fans

    The T-stat would not be competing against the fan, as the T-stat's job is not to cool the engine- It's job is to permit or prevent flow to the rad. The fan's job is to cool the engine. I used to have twin FAL's installed in my car, and they worked fine until the fan controller crapped out. Then...

    Handbrake Light?

    Yeah- what he said- If the light comes on during hard accel or hard braking, it's definately the fluid level.

    frozen wastegate actuator

    Another issue to consider is your exhaust. If you have any blockage, it'll reduce the amount of boost you can produce.

    MAF Placement

    I've run the MAF-T in suck-thru and blow-thru mode, but again, that's using a GM sensor. It won't really work with our OEM units. I have the MAF about 1.5 - 2ft from the TB in the IC piping.

    no boost

    How long has this problem existed? I didn't see you mention that. I have lost boost over the period of about two weeks- went from 13psi to 6psi due to a blocked cat. If you had a boost leak big enough to keep you at 2-3 psi, then you might be able to hear it- it'll sound like a bunch of...

    12v mod with walbro, now fuel cut and bad idle

    You want a rising rate FPR, or a 1:1 boost reference FPR(others please chime in) if I recall. You can either bypass the J-tube entirely, or drill out the end to remove the restriction. I did this, as It was off the car and I didn't have to worry about metal shavings.

    ct26-t3/t4 w/ ext. wga flange?

    Doesn't look like the shape of OUR CT-26 inlets. Aren't ours round?? Maybe that's for the MR2's CT?

    raced a eclipse and a probe

    I had a similar situation the other night- I was driving back to Atlanta from Charlotte, and this dude in a neon keeps coming up along side me and tearing off. Mind you- this is a POS base model neon, not an SRT-4 or anything. And to top it off, it's raining out! What a tard. he got tired...

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Not sure, but I think it was made in Canada as I recall. I'll have to go down and find the box to see. PS- Today I put in the OEM cooling fan setup, with new shroud and twin AC fans. Also, I finally got around to replacing the leaky power steering pump with a reconditioned one. Hopefully...

    11PSI fresh 7m VS '90 non turbo "built"

    It was turbo, man. Like the others said- if it was an NA, you would have decimated him. Congrats! : )

    Anyone's bad cat converter ever allow high NOx?

    Well, here's the results- I replaced the cat(2 yrs old and no blockage) with a $50 3" cat off of Ebay. Going into the test, my HC was around 108 out of 140 max, and the NOx was 1851 out of 984 max. After the cat, my HC went down to 64/ 140 max, and the NOx went to 675/ 984 max. SO, it appears...

    What about N.E. Atlanta?

    Well, It might be nice if we could get a small group together one night at a Hooters or something, or even drive down to Varsity as a group for the December 4th meet. Just thinking out loud right now.

    What about N.E. Atlanta?

    Hey- I was just wondering if there's ever any Supra meets, or popular import stuff going on around the northeast side of town. I recently moved over to Lawrenceville from Kennesaw, and just wondered if anyone ever does anything around this area. Thanks. :icon_bigg

    prove to me a divorced downpipe is better then a regular 3"

    I have a have a divorced DP with is recirculated back in at the curve out to the Cat. I call it a separated DP as opposed to divorced- The turbine exhaust and the wastegate cause turbulence together, so they part company, and once they've smoothed everything out in the own personal lives, they...
