Hey guys...

My car has had this problem for a while... After a nice hard boot (or a couple of them immediatley after each other :P) my car starts to pop when going down in revs while in gear... if i clutch it, it sometimes dies completely from this. it comes good again after a minute or two but the harder i push the car the longer and worse the popping is. does anyone know wat this could be?

its quiet loud with a straight through 3 inch exhaust...

thx in advance,

bill

u got a FMIC?

Hey bilbo117..

This is the same as alot of people that are running stock cars with maybe just an exhaust..

After we discussed it with a couple of people in a thread we narrowed it down to car running overly rich and by giving it a boot your exhaust temps are rising massively especially around the turbo..

as you back off the throttle, excess fuel is dumped than ignited by the heat as it passes through the exhaust housing..

do a search..

Im getting that problem these days, the car dies when I clutch in, which in turn gets rid of ANY power steering AND brakes..........scared the shit out me when the damn thing wouldn't turn and stop. must go get it tuned.

sometimes an after markets bov that isnt plumbed back can cause this problem aswell, particularly if the car hasnt been retuned. Air that comes from a bov has previously been metered by the afm, if it is not plumbed back and you have no compensation, the engine will also run rich during the time shortly after the bov operates.I wouldnt be to concerned, my cas a constant flame thrower, cops sore it once, F#$k i was up that special creek with no paddle and a sinking boat that day !

Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
