OK.

I'm having a conundrum. I recently put on a Carbon Z-Tune bonnet and whilst it looks f*cking awesome is it really helping me. Yes it lowers my engine temp by up to 11deg and I loose like 10kg of weight but since iv'e put it on I think the rain has messed with my coilpacks. My car idles and drives A OK but under full bost now it starts to flutter and I lose all boost. If I let it get up to boost slowly she'll go but if I stomp it I get nothing as soon as boost comes on. I have the coil pack cover off with Splitfires. A mate said it shouldn't matter but it has to be the issue.

Anyone got any ideas on this one?????

I'm hoping the hot weather will do this for me!!!! It was pretty damn hot yesterday and it was in the sun all day. Went for a drive last night and the same thing happened again. I'm thinking I may have to take them off and give them a clean.

get the water out, then put your cover back on. there is no need to run without it. look at most serious circuit cars. they run WITH the cover. there is no need to take it off.

I had similar issues, but the car was not barking down like yours. it just made a mess around and under the coil packs.

i just run it with the cover on and not worry about it anymore. i do however keep a car cover over my car when not driving it.

Best remove and clean the boots with silcone spray and a light smear of silicone grease. The gasket around the cover goes hard with time, but can be replaced with o-ring cord available at places like CBC.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
