sleeper intercooler? :rly:

details in sig. also open downpipe, and AEM wideband. i will summerize my problems again to see if anyone has any input. had the 310s in, ran ok, just crazy rich. 12.5-13 cruise. as soon as you lean into the throttle, peged out 10:1. put the stock injectors bad in, barley runs. doesnt want to idle unless the afm screw is all the way in, then stalls alot. anything more than 1/4 throttle and it starts missing and sputtering. but i think i found atleast one reason it sucking. the ECU plugs have a couple of coroded wires, and atleast 1 wire is broke, a blue wire IIRC. i will splice in some new plugs and see if it helps. and if not, try a new AFM and injectors. i opened the ecu, everything looked good inside.

I just threw away two license plates. I think they belonged to an old roommate.

bondo that crack in the bumper its already primered :gay:
and are you using a saab intercooler?
(nvm, saw it was a probe)
should you still wrap the lines around the turbo? because nothing is protecting the lines behind it:dunno:
whoa and that isn't a piece of pvc on the hotside pipes is it?

Braineack 10-31-2007 09:13 AM

aw, it's so cute, tiny intercooler and tiny turbo.

Does your car have a rattle can spray job? Pics if so.

bryantaylor 10-31-2007 02:01 PM

its not rattle can, its actually sprayed satin black. and there is no pvc anywhere, but they are some couplers for pvc pipe from home depot. i only have 400-500 in the whole setup too.

Braineack 10-31-2007 02:06 PM

so does it idle? it doesn't seem like the idle valve has much of an air source :gay:

a little low, but not bad. i still need to get something better for that

bryantaylor 10-31-2007 06:46 PM

fixed the IAC hose, idles better now. and spliced in a new ECU plug to replace the fuged up one. it helped a ton, still studders some. going to put in a rx7 AFM this weekend. i go 6 clicks counter clockwise on the clock spring for stock injectors, right? how many clicks which way for 310s? just want to be sure.

mazda/nissan 11-01-2007 12:48 PM

it should be in the faq

mxdrift 11-01-2007 01:05 PM

hey how does that bov work for you i have the same one but haven't heart it yet?

negative ghost rider

and the BOV works fine. just an ebay knock off, its a couple years old now. i was usuing it on my old probe too. everyone in the area knows your turbo when it goes off

mazda/nissan 11-01-2007 03:42 PM

oh, well i thought it was in the faq at one time, as for the clicks just go trial and error, i've heard goin 5 for a starting point and then from there fine tune it

Braineack 11-01-2007 04:12 PM

there's no set point

iirc i was 3 clicks with the rx7 afm with 305s. 7-8 with 230s.

bryantaylor 11-01-2007 06:36 PM

10-4 man. i got a wideband, i will figure it out

bryantaylor 11-03-2007 06:59 PM

i think my car hates me. put in the rx7 afm, and tried another set up stock injectors. the AFRs are all over the place, it will just randomly go full rich, bog, studder, and so on. i will try the 310s again with only 3 clicks on the afm and see if it helps. could my ECU be fucking up?

mxdrift 11-03-2007 07:18 PM

nice on the bov.. i wanted one that would be really loud.haha but still perform good i want to upgrade to the hks ssq one hope fully when i get my car turbo.

bryantaylor 11-05-2007 04:45 PM

ok, i have now decided that my car does in fact hate me. 310cc injectors, rx7 afm set at 3 clicks looser. and the car is still running like crap. pig rich at idle, started the car with the afm cover off, at idle its almost halfway open. i dont know what the deal is. i am thinking about just selling the FMU and AFM and going megasquirt. there is no reason the car should be running as bad as it is

Do it.
