Hey all,

My cars costing me so much money and is running like crap! :)

Wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions why my cars doing this..

It guzzles so much fuel, costing me a fortune

Seems to cut out everynow and then for like 1/2 second when driving hard (not rev or speed limiter)

And finally yesterday,

had a bit of fun with my friends 96 or 97 model stock ford xr6 who had a passenger blew me away by like 4 car lengths in like 200meters.

(The boost doesnt seem to be dropping on the guage and the car seems to be trying its heart out)

And my car is ment to have 266rwhp @ 10psi! -my ass. ;):):rant:

-Brendan

Costing a fortune and running like crap i can undestand - fixed by a tune. But being eaten by a non turbo which is likely to be heavier not to mention with a passenger by 4 cars lengths means something is definately wrong with your ride.

Dont forget the 34 run duel boost - from memory its a lower boost first then it steps up to a high boost (or other way around..).

As PHATR32 said collapsed cat is very common - and causes big power drop.

Bad tune ?

Faulty AFM?

what type of BOV have ya got??

cos i had a same sort of problem after i put on a gfb stealth FX bov, had it set to a little of venting to atmo. Ran alright at normal driving, but push it hard, and it missed all the way from 5000rpm up. Which is really strange but anyway.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
