Boosting Problem

Tonight i had to go and pick up the pizza`s for tea, anyway i was cruising along and gave it a bit of a squirt i looked across at my boost gauge and it was over 10psi. And im thinking what the hell is going on? When i got the car from chris (AMS) it already had a jaycar ebc and handcontroller installed which he said was to set to 7-8psi. Now i have absolutely no idea how to work the damn thing, admitedly i have stuffed around with the hand controller before but that was months ago now, and i have never noticed it over boosting until now. So i have no clue what is going on but all i can say is i dont like it especially without an safc or a decent tune to make sure its not leaning out.

But on the way back from picking up dinner i gave it another squirt to see if it did it again and yep sure enough it did, but this time i put my foot to the floor and i hit 15psi on the boost gauge and i backed the hell off as i believe if i didnt it could have easily kept going past 15.

So is there any suggestions as to what might be wrong? What should i do? I believe i should be ripping the damn boost controller out and just run stock boost until i get a decent ebc and a tune which will be nice and safe etc...

Any help would be great.

Cheers Simon

just around the corner from them lol, but i think i will rip the ebc out first then see if it is still doing it it. If it is i will check vac lines for cracks, i have nice blue vac line to go on anyway, then if its still stuffing up i will take it to a pro.

But i like trying to sort this kinda stuff out myself if i can! I figure it has to be the boost controller

Hey Simon,

IEBC has a line wrong in it somewhere... So technically it doesnt work. Go to racepace and ask them to install it properly. I'm sure Alex or someone similar will help you tune it. All the tuts. are in the book I gave to you anyways...

So technically at the moment it is only running off the standard solinoid. Maybe its dying? Who knows, but it it only running standard shit at the moment. Lemme know what the outcome is. But dont doubt the IEBC - its a great bit of gear

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
