Hey Folks,

Over the past few days the Stag hasn't been its usual self...

The main 'obvious' thing is when the turbo is hitting full boost (spikes to 12 then sits flat at 10psi) but you havnt got your foot flat, just enough for it to hit full boost, the turbo is cutting in and out... Sought of a bumping basically. When the foot is flat to the floor it will just hit 10 psi and sit flat, doesnt cut in and out...

Now, what the hell is it? Kinda annoying me...Anything serious? Or just a minor issue? Has only been doing it since we installed the bleed valve.

Cheers Guys,

Chris

PS - Would this be solved if I were to install the Jaycar Gear? :P

Got the same idiosyncrasy (sic) on mine after I installed a Powerup MBC. It spikes to 11psi when you stab the fun flipper then it settles back to 10.

An R33 mate reckons it is b/c of the length of tube running to the MBC is too long and turbo is overboosting ( as per my setting ) before the MBC registers and actuates the wastegate.

Dont know if this is true or not, but it doesnt seem to worry it at all and I havent popped any hoses yet.

But it is all the more reason for me to get that Jaycar IEBC sooner then later.

OK Guys! More Help needed.

Right, my old man was driving my car, about 3000rpm just starting to spool hard and "Psssssttttt" kinda like a blow off valve. Didnt sound right though, so we pulled over to see whats the problem. popped the hood and gave it a rev. Turbo isnt spooling anymore! Not at all! I think I may have blown a hose somewhere given the noise. Please please help me. Cannot drive it in its current state

Cheers,

Chris

My first guess would be an intercooler hose has blown off, check them all.

:D cheers :D

      WTB R33 trunk side and rear carpeted trim

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey all. Looking for all of the carpeted trunk trim for my 95 GTST coupe. I’m having a hard time finding the pieces I need on US or Japanese sites/auctions and was hoping someone has a clean set stashed away somewhere?

      New aerial is aerialing well....trips into Goulburn are not losing the ABC classic radio signal Also......I've been procrastinating about wheels for the MX5, the car doesn't need any more tyre, I just "want" different wheels, so I went looking for something that legally fits the new Pilot Sports +1 size 215/45 17 that I'm currently running on the 17x7 OEM wheels (stock size is 205/45 17), not a silver, and not a black, ended up with gloss bronze Konig Dekagrams in 17x8 +40 which fit without the need for rolling the guards, whilst larger than the OEM wheels they are also lighter than the OEM wheels, and at just under $1300 for the set I'm more than happy with the price I seen a set of matt black Deka's on a MX5 when I was at MX5 Mania, same wheel size, same tyre size, sat really nice, and not stretched enough to look aids, although the 215/45 17 is the smallest that you can legally fit Just need to find some good black wheel nuts to suit

      So I decided that I wasn't happy with how I originally wrapped the loom with fleece tape. I didn't factor in the new intake manifold/plenum so it always sat a bit funny. Yep, I decided to unwrap it and redo how the wires would branch out. Added in a light twist too, here's hoping I didn't snap any 30 year old wiring because FML if I did. Took a few more photos of the shit box too, needed it for Enthusiast Insurance as they wanted photos to justify why my agreed value was above market by a fair amount.
