What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Dunc]

mine were maxing before it cut.

so my informeter told me anyway.

so i was forced to baby the car around lol

emanage can clamp the aiflow at 4.6 as mine is.. anything after that is mapped by a boost sensor plugged into the emanage.

Yeah the Informeter suggests I max my injectors out without the suction.; hardly have to baby it - its first/second gear at 5k where I get into the upper region.

But yeah - mapping the extra airflow via boost sensor sounds fine to me. Its just clamping it at 4.6 WITHOUT the emanage that sounds like danger to me

[ironpaw]

So the suction pipe doesn't max the injectors just the AFM? If that's the case wouldn't a fuel cut defender fix that by clamping at say 4.6V? If the injectors are maxed then obviously needs bigger injectors.

If you're gonna cut fuel what's the point of flowing more air?

Am I missing something here?

I've got the MAP sensor installed but doesn't seem there's a need to use it...

Your EMU isnt utilising the MAP sensor?

yeh it probably is a bigger danger doing it without bigger injectors.. which cant be done without an EMU

lol fuel cutdefender in this case would be used to clamp the voltage of AFM to 4.6v.. allowing it to rev freely without an air flow cut.

it adds fuel to the map if you have more boost.

ie. cold whether more boost - the map sensor will add fuel to keep it safe. get cihan to set it up

Ironpaw had a tune done before the map sensor was installed, so after 4.6 volts, cihan guessed the mapping, which he is really good at.

when he goes for the next tune, cihan will integrate it with the emanage

Whats wrong with your 3 dials? My boost gauge isn't working, but I found a thread on Scotty's soldering fix, so I'll do that, get it working, then think about changing it

mines an RX, only RS had the dials and the relevant sensors/loom etc. so if i cant get it working, ill be selling all the working bits and going a double DIN

the voltage readout works lol and i think if i change the BCM ill get the attesa working too. the boost sensor is missing the plug in the enging bay loom. but i rekon the wiring is there

[Jetwreck]

razed the bonnet 3-4mm at the back to suck out hot air.

Ran 12v to the Walbro finally....might step it up to 14v yet!

[zei20l]

i think there were tests done and raising the back of the bonnet doesnt really work. bonnet vents are the only real way to get air out

did you run a line from the battery directly to the pump? then its 14.4v already

[andy65b]

Would creating a vent at back of the bonnet by timing the plastic trim on the back of the bonnet?

Depends what else you do while raising it....trimmed some plastic out so it can flow/get dragged out.

I used a 12v relay...so it's 12v at the moment....If I need to step it up I will use the other one I got from Scott.

[zei20l]

a 12v relay wont regulate to 12v it means its a relay designed to work with 12v

stick a multimetre on it, its probably 14.4 if youve taken the source from the battery

Did you want a factory boost sensor Iain or did you get one from the wreck?

[bigkevracer]

Well that sounds like verdict is rip it off until I have done injectors, emanage and fuel pump? DAMMIT! And I was so looking forward to dyno day!

Wouldn't have thought a standard car with plenum spacer, exhaust and suction pipe would have maxed out the injectors?

thanks mate but the one from the wreck survived

I would leave it on until and see what the tuner can get out of it.....remember he will lean it off....you may get away with it running at about 92% duty cycle on standard boost!

I just spoke to Andrew, he was recommending a tune just with the exhaust. Sounds like I can do it without doing injectors etc, but excuse my ignorance can I get it tuned without going Emanage? I've only ever had one car tuned, and that was the R31 after I did the engine rebuild. Not exactly sophisticated so it was just done at Ultra Tune.

Unfortunately not on the stock ECU. Unless you send it to Japan..

[Jetwreck]

Exhaust, Sierra S1 and stock boost you should get away with no injections with the E-Manage tune....or Exhaust, Suction Pipe, standard turbo and stock boost!....maybe!...anything more and you are pushing the envelope like I did!...not fun!

You will be in the 90% duty cycle mark more than likely.....so make sure your injectors are alway's clean!

Yep. No tune for u unless u get an emu installed...or a fcon...

Lol at ultratune 'tuning' cars!!

Yeah agree, but it was just timing, nothing complex! Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Off to buy an Emanage then... any suggestions where?
