Hey guys, Ive got some boost issues i cant figure out, its driving me NUTSS..Well, im not making more than 0.1 bars of boost (havn't tried boosting it yet). The car drives o..k with almost no lag until the time boost is meant to kick in, you dont feel the lag once your in boost mode, but both my A/M Apexi boost gauge and stock gauge show me that im running under boost, also the car doesnt have that 0.5 bar pull it once had. i have tried the following with no positive outcomes:

- Change all vacuum lines

- Change wastegate to R32 wastegate (as soon as i changed this, i had a boost up to 0.7 bars but with heaps of lag and backfires, so pretty much no difference)

- Change Intercooler Pipes (not core, although core has some dents in the fins which i doubt would cause a leak or anything)

- Replace Cat with De-cat Pipe (incase i had a blocked cat)

and....nothing else so faar.

i should also mention, i have takin my car for a dyno tune and the guys there tottaly gave up on my car (but back then the car was having some other issue which has been takin care of)..by the way, when it was worse then it is now, i pulled out exactly 143.2 hp...isn't that sexiful hey..lol

Neways guys, PLEASE HELP ME OUT, im wanting to mod my car but dont want to mod it and increase possibilities of a dead engine..

hey guys, found out that my boost gauge vacuum hose was almost off!!!. fixed that up and im now getting 4.5 psi below 4500rpm and 6 above...

its gone better although i thought it was meant to be getting 10psi with the r32 actuator??..am i not right??..

Disconnect the vacuum lines on the boost solenoid (located behind your airbox/pod) and join the two ends thus bypassing the solenoid. This way, the amount of boost you run will be dependent on the actuator; in this case, 10psi.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
