HI all,

I have a problem taht i noticed just after i had my 3inch exhaust fitted. When i takeoff hard in 1st or 2nd, my car kinda hesitates (goes like putt putt putt) then goes, it only happens normally at nite when it is in cold weather. I talked to a mate of mine and he seems to think its a fuel cut problem.

His reasoning is, since i got the zaust fitted that creates more boost (even more when its cold weather) and when the ecu detects the overboost it tried to stop it by cutting the amount of fuel going into the injectors. But the weird thing is, i dont have a boost controler or a bleed valve fitted so i thought i was running standard boost.

The only mods i have dun is: Trust Airinx air filter, big frontmount intercooler, 3inch exhaust with a twin dump pipe from the turbo and heavy duty clutch. I took it on a dyno run and got a reading for 177.8kw at the wheels, and there was no hesitation when they did the run because they slowly builtup speed. As i said, the hesitation only really happens at 1st and 2nd when its cold.

what is a way quickly fix this problem? fuel cut defender? boost controler (and turn the boost down)? or get a apexi SAFC??

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
