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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
