Hey guys my car had a HKS pod connected onto a hard pipe from the turbo not the stock rubber one, the stock BOV was blocked off and was running 10 psi. The car also has stainless split dump pipe, 3inch front pipe, hiflow cat, 3.5 inch cat back system and a front mount. As far as I know the car is running a stock ecu, stock coil packs and stock turbo. Today after being defected again I have put the stock rubber intake pipe back on, connected the stock BOV, put the factory airbox back on without the snorkel and put a BMC panel filter in the air box and left it running 10 psi. The question i have is, is it safe still running the same boost? or can i run more? the car is a daily so I don't want to run stupid risks of killing the motor to be honest the car feels faster runs smother and I cannot hear the turbo spool or the stock BOV, I love it the car sounds like an NA R33.

yeah man, keep it quiet and clean, on 10psi.

wooshes, and bovs and flutters only draw the wrong type of attention...and laughs from me when yo drive past :)

coilpacks are good, and do your O2 sensor if you havent already

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
