miata hits wall under boost
pulled my freshly built turbo miata out of garage and test drove it. fine tuned maps on my AEM FIC. Runs great at idle but as soon as it sees boost it bogs down and slows down.
GT2560 turbo 550cc inj FMIC 10 psi wastegate boomslang harness it will build boost up to 6 psi and afr are 12.5 under boost. gas in tank has sat in tank for two months without starting car. running ngk R plugs one step colder than stock timing is retarded 1 degree per pound of boost. no boost leaks i can see or hear. brand new O2 sensors maf seems to be working. any ideas on whats causing it to hit a wall under boost? |
btw its an 01 vvt
|
Whats the afr gauge say when it bogs down?
|
12.5 AFR
|
Mad clamp is set to 4.5v but have maf map dialed in
|
12.5 is pretty lean especially since u're running a piggy back.
|
Would that cause it to fall on its face at 1psi boost
|
1 psi, no, ecu gotta be fucking around with the timing.
|
I'll try to retard timing going into boost earlier
|
The ecu, like you, is probably too retarded.
|
"theres a nasty hole in your fuel map, that's why you're unloading in third"
|
Came to see a Miata literally hit a wall....
I am disappoint |
What happened to camaraderie between car enthusiasts. I seriously need help on this. I know I didn't buy a MS but I have what I have. That's not gonna change. Even though I hate this site. Because people on here are so disrespectful. I know you guys know your stuff.
So please can someone point me in the right direction. |

The 2 month old gas shouldnt affect it The 1 step colder NGK plugs are good, but 2 steps colder than stock MIGHT be better. Everything else seems legit.... BUT the "maf seems to be working." Part makes me wonder. You are running an Aftermarket Management system, and still have a MAF? I would bet it is either the MAF, or your tune, or a combo of both Do you have any Data logs of any kind? Can the AEM FIC do that? |
It boosted and pulled to 2 psi fine cold.( was still tunning so did little pulls into boost to watch AFR)
I bought a boomslang harness comes with maf wired in. Or I would of deleted it. FIC can data log. I will do a boost pull and post it. I have seen on forum guy had this happen because his MAF clamp was to low so stock ecu was seeing boost. |
Most folks, including myself do not intercept the MAF when using the FIC6 on a Miata. It simply isn't required under 12 psi with the exception of a small annoyance if you are recirculating your BOV.
If you do intercept, there are some adjustments to be made to account for some 'voltage drop' from what I have read. I didn't intercept mine, so I cannot help you there. There is an old thread on miata.net that describes how one person successfully managed it You can PM me and we can exchange phone #s and I'll try to see if I can help. I was given a method of setting up my FIC that has worked well for me. Setting it up as they describe in the instructions was not possible on my 2000. The other method is simpler anyhow. I run about 10 psi on my car and have been using the FIC for a couple of years. The FIC is very easy to adjust and has been dead reliable. I love the fact that idle adjustment is a non-event and my AC and cruise control work as well as when the car was stock. |

i just read a thread on miata.net that you cant retard timing on FIC with a vvt BP engine?
any truth to this? |
Fixed it. FIC ignition retarding and VVT don't mix. Set all cells to 0 and she took off fully boosting bumped up fuel 10% to get AFR to 11.5 at WOT
|
All cells? U mean for the timing?
