wouldn't have to change the bov, unless it starts leaking when you get on boost. the stock bov is designed to leak at all times. it has a hole in it to do so. this leaking also helps it hold higher boost as the leaking air pushes down on the top of it to keep it closed. i blocked mine up and it started leaking boost so i unblocked and it doesn't spike. but going to an aftermarket bov will stop it leaking any boost and make it spool up a touch quicker. (its like trying to fill a bucket with a cup with a hole in it. plug up the hole and you will fill the bucket quicker).

you would need an aftermarket ecu to get rid of boost cut. and remember that 14psi on a high flow will give more power than 14psi on stock turbo.

Well at the moment.. i'm running 12 Psi.. n i'm not getting any Fuel Cut for some reason.. so i'm not sure if i have a Stock Ecu n it has a Rev Limiter on it as well...

I remember when i did my first Test Run when the Boost Controller started working.. it went upto 15 psi.. but didn't cut out.. but i didn't give it stick till redline.. just suprised it went up that high.. n did Pop when i changed gear..

What if i keep it on 12.. n get FMIC.. will that b ok???

Oh yeh Evil_weevil.. u going to Antilag Cruise this weekend??? if u r u could sort my boost problem when i c ya hehe

depends on mods. it is based off air flow, not boost pressure. i was running 13psi with stock dump and cat with not boost cut. the day i put on the dump and cat boost cut was kicking in at 1/4 throttle so i had to wind the boost down.

So Mad082..

As long as I don't get any Boost Cut... it should b ok to Run??

I have a HKS Filter n Zorst 2 1/2 wif Cat n High Flow Muffler.. was driving tonite n was cruising along in the freeway in 5th doing about 90... so i put it in 3rd n give it some stick n c how it go..

It went Hard Alright... but the Boost went upto 13-14 psi.. i'm guessin the Cold night gave it extra PSI

didn't cut out though.. kept going hard.. then had a played around wif this SS... didn't Cut out... Caned it up 2 about 4th then slowed down was worried it mite POP..

yeah should be cool. just have to watch out that it doesn't do it when the engine is cold, but you shouldn't be driving it hard when the engine is still cold. when i have the boost at about 13psi i get boost cut until the pipes heat up. the engine can come nearly up to temp and if i give it a quick boot in 3rd it will start to rev up then cut. it will only do it once or twice, then the cooler and piping comes up to temp and it won't do it again.

it only did it in the morning on the way to work... and on the way to the dyno run, so i had to wind the boost down which i was a bit annoyed about cause i took it for a spin the night before to see if it was going to do it and it didn't.

Sounds Good.. well i put it Back on the way it was before.. which is connect it to the Stock Selonoid.. in which it's suppose to Run Stock Boost n gave it a quick run n it went only up 6.5psi n won't get any higher.. where it used 2 b 8psi.. so that kinda annoyed me..

but anyway i'll put it back on n c how it runs for the Cruise on Sat Nite..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
