i wouldnt recommend doing any of those really... yes acceleration would speed up but it would be throwing ur afm readings out of wack.... every now and again ill take the pod off my car as i can run no afm but that usually doesnt stay long at all....id prefer to keep my motor clean

ben...

actually i read it on an article on eliminating negative boost arghh shit article

so put the mesh back in? and see wat happens or tuning time?

:( lol worth a try

p.s moh.. learn to drive n beat mark before telling me mate :sorcerer:

any ideas

Mine was missing one side of the mesh when I bought it, and it runs rich (I think). I get bad economy, but not much smoke at all. (no more than your average family car) Don't know what it's like on boost though, I certainly can't SEE any smoke.

Maybe try resetting your ECU, so it can relearn? Dunno if that would help it learn the A/F ratio or anything, because once you're out of closed loop, the ECU switches to the fuel-maps.

I'm hoping an SAFC can fix that for me and gain a little more oomph.

which side is urs missing, i took out one mesh did little as i removed the other one and fitted it back on.. good on the acceleration but bloody eats fuel like cops on shi*t .... p.s one mesh removed makes a difference

hmm i will try re-setting da ecu man :laugh:

if not cover da mesh time ...till i can get a new ecu unit

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
